20.500.12556/DiRROS-25473 Addressing climate challenges through the valorisation of calamity wood in the alps-adriatic region The WoodInnovate project addresses pressing challenges facing the forest-wood value chain in the Alps-Adriatic region, which are intensifying due to climate change. Rising temperatures and frequent natural disasters are degrading wood quality and increasing pest outbreaks, particularly from bark beetles. These environmental shifts jeopardize forest ecosystems, reduce the economic viability of timber harvesting, and compromise regional sustainability. WoodInnovate aims to assess and enhance the utilization of storm- and pest-damaged wood through advanced modification techniques, innovative product design, and strategic cross-border collaboration. The project explores climate-resilient tree species and determines optimal uses for lower-grade wood. Stakeholder involvement is essential, including academic institutions, forestry clusters, and industry partners from Italy and Slovenia. Activities include pilot tests, prototype development, knowledge transfer, and regional workshops. The ultimate goal is to transform wood waste from environmental catastrophes into valuable resources, fostering a circular economy and reinforcing forest resilience. The project contributes to climate adaptation strategies while promoting economic revitalization through sustainable material innovation. By enabling cross-sector collaboration, WoodInnovate not only strengthens the forest-wood value chain but also supports EU green objectives, making wood from damaged trees a tool for environmental and social progress. climate change damaged wood sustainable forest management innovative wood utilization cross-border cooperation klimatske spremembe poškodovan les trajnostno gospodarjenje z gozdovi inovativna uporaba lesa čezmejno sodelovanje true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-01-21 11:43:41 2026-01-21 11:43:42 2026-01-23 03:43:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 27. 6. 2025; Paper prepared for the IRG56 Scientific Conference on Wood Protection Yokohama, Japan 22 – 26 June, 2025; IRG/WP 25-50416; 1 spletni vir (1 datoteka PDF([5] str.)) 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 630*8 240612611 82640387 https://www.irg-wp.com/irgdocs/details.php?ec3bd285-59b6-bdf8-f984-1e32fc27b3a4 Prosto dostopen le izvleček 1 0fe88d05-f6b6-11f0-a15d-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=38606 240612611.pdf 240612611.pdf 1 B4ED2C87E414861969B9CFAE9D2C9298 c717b35e3e776c8191d0f7fb3c3d573b4e5257cda955741b6cdaf4f5971a3c21 236023d5-f6b6-11f0-a15d-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=38607 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
