Forest Meeting 3: Myths & facts
Forest Meetings creates an open, safe, knowledge-based meeting place for discussions about one of the core futures issues - the forest.
The role of forest work in climate change, biodiversity loss, livelihoods of indigenous communities and for industry provokes strong emotions and polarised debates. Layers of science, business interests, cultural norms, and media convene in creating a confusing picture where it is hard to distinguish fact from fiction.
In this forest meeting, we will seek to identify points of tension, goal conflicts and cruxes, and work beyond simple polarisations. We will bring together perspectives from science and art to co-create a new map of forest values that can support joined up action across multiple stakeholders.
About Forest Meetings
The project Forest Meetings creates an open, safe, knowledge-based meeting place for discussions about one of the core futures issues - the forest. By meeting across disciplinary and sector boundaries and by bringing together scientific and artistic methods, we create conditions for new discoveries and insights about how we can be with the forest.
Forest Meetings are hosted by Linnaeus University and the Green Sustainability Knowledge environment and designed by Mathilda Tham, Miranda Moss, Nasra Rashiid, Juliana Restrepo, Åsa Ståhl, Jorge Zapico.
