Future lab towards Forests Resilient to Climate Change (FoResLab)

The future Lab towards Forests Resilient to climate change (FoResLab) is one out of so far four future labs in Lower Saxony, funded by the zukunft.niedersachsen program of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture and the Volkswagen Foundation. Climate Future Labs bring together partners throughout Lower Saxony from the worlds of politics, the economy and civil society to engage in topic-specific research on the climatic challenges and impacts that will shape our future. Climate future labs are coordinated and connected under the roof of the Lower Saxony Center for Climate Research (ZKfN).

FoResLab combines research and outreach activities of seven universities and research institutions in Lower Saxony and beyond and collaborates with the national parks Hainich and Harz, the Lower Saxony’s Landesforsten, the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities as well as with the Stiftung Zukunft Wald. For more on the research concept see About.

The FoResLab is funded with resources from zukunft.niedersachsen, a funding program of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture and VolkswagenStiftung.
