The Committee on Forestry (COFO), the FAO\u2019s top forestry governing body, was tasked with identifying emerging policy and technical issues, seeking solutions, and advising the FAO on appropriate action. The resulting report reveals the vulnerability of forests worldwide and emphasises the role of innovation in achieving a sustainable future for the forestry sector.<\/p>\n<p>Titled \u2018The State of the World\u2019s Forests 2024: Forest-sector innovations towards a more sustainable future\u2019, the report found that wildfire intensity and frequency are increasing, including in areas not previously affected. In 2023, fires released an estimated 6,687 megatonnes of carbon dioxide globally. Boreal (forests in the northern hemisphere) fire was previously responsible for about 10 per cent of global CO2 emissions. In 2021, such fires reached a new high &#8211; mainly driven by extended drought causing an increase in fire severity and fuel consumption &#8211; and accounted for nearly one quarter of total wildfire emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The report presents five innovative methods to bolster forests against climate change, based on technological, social, policy, institutional and financial solutions. AI will be used to facilitate the automated analysis of a vast volume of existing and future data collected daily by drones, satellites and space stations. Mass timber &#8211; engineered for strength, durability and sustainability &#8211; and other wood-based innovations will be adopted that can replace fossil-based products in the building sector.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/07\/23\/wildfires-pests-logging-how-can-ai-and-drones-protect-the-worlds-forests-from-climate-thre\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-562\/\">Wildfires, pests, logging: How can AI and drones protect the world\u2019s forests from climate threats?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15410,2090,575,610],"class_list":["post-132584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate-threat","tag-conservation","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-forest"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132584\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
