Active adaptation is required, with species diversification, sustainable management, and financial and institutional support for those responsible for forests as key tools. Forests with VarietyDiversifying forest species emerged as one of the most effective adaptation strategies. Mixed forests, where different tree species coexist, show greater resilience to drought, fire, insect infestations, and disease. Program coordinator José Vicente Oliver stressed that adapting Europe’s forests requires a combination of solutions tailored to each region’s specific characteristics. These can help finance sustainable management, provided they rely on strict, transparent, and scientifically grounded methods.
