It builds on research conducted by experts of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe/The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UNECE/FAO) Team of Specialists on Boreal Forests and the International Boreal Forest Research Association (IBFRA). It aims to provide policymakers, experts and the general public with information about boreal forests in the context of climate change.
