Carbon Talk: Can BC’s forests help to reduce emissions?

Can British Columbia’s Forests Help Reduce Emissions?
Thursday, February 16th
12:30 – 1:30 pm
Room 2270, SFU Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings St
British Columbia’s forests and forestry products have a large impact on provincial emissions, through both their ability to store and release carbon into the atmosphere. So what are the opportunities to manage forests and wood products with the goal reducing emissions? And how might climate change impacts interact with carbon-focused forest management goals?
Join us for a free public dialogue with Dr. Werner Kurz, Senior Research Scientist at the Canadian Forest Service (Natural Resources Canada) and lead of the Pacific Institute of Climate Solutions’ Forest Carbon Management Project.
Can’t make it in person? Carbon Talks will be webcast live, thanks to the support of the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions. Webcast link: http://www.youtube.com/user/carbontalks/live (Follow the conversation on Twitter at @CarbonTalks)
