Moldovan delegation – Adapting forests to climate change

As part of the Rural Resilience Project, ONF International welcomed a delegation from Moldova last week. This meeting provided an opportunity to exchange with the teams of the French National Forest Office (ONF) on the challenges related to forest adaptation to climate change, a topic of particular interest to Moldovan forest managers.

Discussions focused on sustainable forest management strategies, species selection, forest regeneration, and the integration of climate change impacts into long-term planning.

During field visits, the delegation toured the Bauchery et Fils nursery, located near Chambord. This visit offered concrete insights into the challenges associated with oak regeneration, the management of genetic resources for this species, and the solutions implemented to strengthen forest resilience in the face of climate change.

As part of the same project, ONF International is taking part this week, from 13 to 17 November, in a mission to Moldova. This mission includes an audit of forestry companies to assess their capacity to implement the country’s national resilience plan.

The plan aims to reforest and rehabilitate 150,000 hectares of forest over the next decade, thereby strengthening the resilience of Moldovan forest ecosystems and supporting the sustainable development of the forestry sector.

Continuidad del proyecto en Moldavia

En el marco del mismo proyecto, del 13 al 17 de noviembre, ONF International participa en una misión técnica en Moldavia, con el objetivo de auditar a las empresas forestales del país en relación con su capacidad para implementar el plan nacional de resiliencia forestal.

Este plan contempla el reforestación y la rehabilitación de 150.000 hectáreas de bosques durante la próxima década, una iniciativa clave para fortalecer la sostenibilidad del sector forestal moldavo y su contribución a la adaptación al cambio climático.

A través de estas acciones, ONF International reafirma su compromiso de acompañar a los países socios en el fortalecimiento de sus capacidades técnicas, promoviendo una gestión forestal sostenible, resiliente y adaptada a los retos climáticos actuales y futuros.
