About ForeStClim
ForeStClim is a EU-funded environmental project addressing forests and climate change. The short name stands for “Transnational Forestry Management Strategies in Response to Regional Climate Change Impacts“.

The main aim of this transnational cooperation is to develop proactive and adaptive regional forestry management and forest protection strategies in the face of the expected climate change scenarios. Consequently, it will contribute to the economic and ecological stability of the forests in North-West Europe (NWE).

ForeStClim is part of the INTERREG IVB programme in North-West Europe and has a total budget of 11.6 million euros. Out of this, 5.7 million euros are being provided by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

ForeStClim runs from 01 January 2008 – 31 December 2012 (5 years).
