Focus
Special focus in this year’s event was placed on opportunities available through more intense Nordic cooperation, learning about the best practices in handling trade-offs and building new business eco-systems. Other topical issues on the agenda were the EU proposals related to sustainable finance, the latest understanding of the health benefits offered by forests as well as solutions to find a balance between e.g. tourism vs. climate and biodiversity impacts.
Opportunities
Koli Forum is known to be an excellent place for networking where the participants and speakers will have ample opportunities to discuss and establish important contacts. The speakers represent a wide range of organisations including e.g. the Nordic ministers of agriculture and forestry as well as the environment, forest industry executives, financial sector executives, university professors and international research organisations.
