Forum Knowledge in Göttingen: Experience Forests in Climate Change Live and in Dialogue

Forest in Transition: An Evening Between Crisis, Research, and Future

At the Forum Knowledge in Göttingen, on September 19, 2026, a topic that directly affects many people will be the focus: How is climate change altering our forests – and what are the implications for nature conservation, forestry, and recreation? The interactive lecture by DIVERSA and FoResLab invites dialogue and connects scientific context with a current perspective on the forests in Lower Saxony. The event takes place as part of the German Forest Days, starting at 18:30 and ending at 19:30. Admission is free. ([zkfn.de](https://zkfn.de/vortrag_waldtage/?utm_source=openai))

Why this evening resonates with the times

The forest, as many know it, is under pressure. Drought, bark beetles, fungal infestations, and extreme weather have left significant traces, especially in the Harz mountains. The lecture will not provide simple answers but will address the question of how we can responsibly deal with a dynamic ecosystem. This is precisely the strength of the format: The event experience focuses on exchange, context, and an audience atmosphere that is not alarmist but constructive.

Research that thinks ahead to the forest of tomorrow

DIVERSA and FoResLab are working to make forests more resilient to climate change. According to the University of Göttingen, reactions to stressors are being studied, digital models are being utilized, and forest real laboratories are being deployed to develop pathways for sustainable forest management. This makes the evening exciting for everyone interested in science communication, event planning, and the interface between research and society.
