Addressing Climate Challenges through the Valorisation of Calamity Wood in the Alps-Adriatic Region
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50416
The WoodInnovate project addresses pressing challenges facing the forest-wood value chain in the Alps-Adriatic region, which are intensifying due to climate change. Rising temperatures and frequent natural disasters are degrading wood quality and increasing pest outbreaks, particularly from bark beetles. These environmental shifts jeopardize forest ecosystems, reduce the economic viability of timb...
