Resilient forest value chains under changing conditions

Tobias Stern and Annechien Hoeben will present aspects from the Horizon2020 project  RESONATE - Resilient Forrests for Society.

The project looks into options to strengthen the resilience of European wood based value changes in the face of climate change:

  • How does climate change effect wodd based value chains?
  • What measures can the wood based sector take?
  • How to handle excess or shortage in wood, when at the same time the importance of high quality wood as a renewable ressource is increasing?

The event takes place on Thursday, 22nd of June at SZ 15.22 (RESOWI, building G , 2nd floor) from 12:30-14:00.

Climate change update: ClimateTracer of the University of Graz provides reliable data

Yesterday, the Copernicus Climate Change Service of the European Union published its data on global warming up to end of November 2024. These confirm that this year will see the 1.5 °C threshold clearly exceeded for the first time. The Wegener Center at the University of Graz already computed an accurate full-year prediction: the global near-surface air temperature in 2024 will rise by 1.62 °C – plus/minus 0.05 °C standard deviation – compared to the pre-industrial level. Such latest predictions for 2024 and other essential data on climate change are provided by the scientists via the Graz Climate Change Indicators (GCCI) portal.

Novel Methods of Semiconductor Manufacturing: University of Graz is partner in EU project

How can technological innovations be aligned with principles of sustainability and circularity? This is a challenge being tackled by researchers at the Department of Environmental Systems Sciences at the University of Graz. As a partner in a new EU project, the team, led by Rupert Baumgartner, is contributing its expertise in sustainability assessment for the semiconductor manufacturing process. The focus of the research project “HaloFreeEtch” is on developing innovative, environmentally friendly etching methods for semiconductors.

A result that we can continue to work with: Climate law expert Oliver Ruppel on the COP29

The UN Climate Change Conference, COP29, came to an end last Sunday in Baku, Azerbaijan. Disappointing for many: too little money to support developing countries in the fight against climate change and no movement on phasing out fossil fuels. However, Oliver Ruppel, Head of "Clim:Law: Graz – Research Centre for Climate Law", can certainly take something from the outcome. He explains why in this interview.
