Overview

Global Forestry is offered by University of Padua. Deforestation and forest degradation account for 10-15% of the world’s greenhouse gas emission, thus contributing to the global loss of biodiversity and undermining the live-hoods of millions of people who depend on forests.

Key Facts

These processes predominantly take place in low-income areas, especially in the Global South; for this reason, a global transformation towards an equitable and green economy will not be possible unless forests in medium and low-income areas come under sustainable forms of utilization and protection. In the meanwhile, forest cover is growing in most of the advanced economies representing an opportunity for the development of a bio-economy based on closer to nature forest management criteria. This Global Forestry program is offered at the University of Padua.
