Adaptation Actions

Objectives: 

• Τhe aim of the GenTree Project is the provision of improved knowledge, methods, and tools for the management and sustainable use of forest genetic resources in Europe, in light of the threats posed by climate change.
   

• Project’s research focuses on innovation, through the design of new strategies for the conservation of forest genetic resources in European forests, the expansion of the genetic resources used in European forest tree breeding programs, and the integration of conservation and improvement strategies to create a new framework for the development of an adaptive forest management system. 

• Research focused on the 12 most important forest tree species in Europe, based on economic, ecological, and social criteria.
