Welcome to Focali

Focali (Forest, Climate, and Livelihood research network) is a Swedish research network focusing on forest / bio-energy, climate change and poverty issues. Several Swedish universities and institutions are represented in the network. The purpose is to contribute to the provision of relevant knowledge to Sida and other Swedish authorities for the effective use of forest operations to achieve climate-poverty targets. Focali also aims to increase the flow of relevant information between scientists, industry, government and civil society.

Vattnets betydelse i landskapsrestaurering

Workshop
Apr 19, 2017 09:30 AM to Apr 19, 2017 12:30 PM.

Swedish Water House startar en ny klustergrupp – ”Vatten i landskapet”. Till denna workshop bjuder de in aktörer som redan är aktiva i svenska och globala restaureringsprojekt, och aktörer som de bedömer har angelägen kunskap som kan användas mer. Syftet är ge en stärkt insikt och förståelse för kopplingen mellan hydrologi och produktiva landskap. Målsättningen är att gruppen ska ha positiv inverkan på det internationella arbetet med att restaurera degraderade landskap.
