Abstract

Climate change-related challenges faced by forest managers are ecological, economic, and social in nature. While several past assessments have looked at the climate-related perceptions and needs of foresters working in rural contexts, urban foresters are not often included in these assessments. Examining foresters’ risk perceptions, adaptation interests and intentions, and need for information/support in rural and urban contexts side-by-side reveals unique opportunities for learning across the rural-to-urban gradient. Through two surveys targeting both rural and urban foresters, we have identified key learning opportunities that support climate-adaptive forest management.

Our analysis shows that many foresters are seeking to maintain current forest conditions or restore forest conditions following a disruption or change, though some see value in transitioning forests to be more resistant and resilient to future climates. We also show a difference in confidence between urban and rural foresters when it comes to addressing climate change through specific adaptation strategies. Based on our findings, we propose facilitated learning opportunities across the rural-to-urban gradient. This would allow urban foresters to learn from rural foresters on topics such as establishment and maintenance of long-term, large, ecologically complex forested areas within cities. Rural foresters could gain insights from their urban counterparts on planting strategies and other approaches that are common in urban settings but novel in rural settings, including stock sourcing and species selection.

To better enable foresters to implement climate adaptation strategies, we suggest: (1) facilitating learning across the rural-to-urban gradient, (2) public engagement trainings and opportunities targeting foresters, (3) workforce development programing, and (4) programs that limit the financial risk that foresters, landowners, and municipalities face when applying forest adaptation strategies to rural or urban lands.

林务员对从农村到城市的梯度适应气候变化的兴趣和局限性
森林管理人员面临的气候变化相关挑战具有生态、经济和社会性质。虽然过去的一些评估研究了在农村地区工作的林务人员对气候相关问题的看法和需求,但城市林务人员往往不在这些评估范围之内。对农村和城市林务人员的风险认知、适应兴趣和意向以及对信息/支持的需求进行并排研究,揭示了从农村到城市梯度之间独特的学习机会。我们的分析表明,许多林务人员正在寻求维持当前的森林状况,或在中断或变化后恢复森林状况,尽管有些人认为森林转型的价值在于提高对未来气候的抵抗力和复原力。我们还发现,在通过具体的适应战略应对气候变化方面,城市和农村林务人员的信心存在差异。根据我们的研究结果,我们建议在农村到城市的梯度上提供便利的学习机会。这将使城市林业工作者能够向农村林业工作者学习如何在城市内建立和维护长期、大型、生态复杂的林区。为了更好地帮助林务人员实施气候适应战略,我们建议:(1)促进从农村到城市的梯度学习;(2)针对林务人员的公众参与培训和机会;(3)劳动力发展计划;(4)限制林务人员、土地所有者和市政当局在农村或城市土地上应用森林适应战略时所面临的财务风险的计划。

期刊介绍: Climate Risk Management publishes original scientific contributions, state-of-the-art reviews and reports of practical experience on the use of knowledge and information regarding the consequences of climate variability and climate change in decision and policy making on climate change responses from the near- to long-term. The concept of climate risk management refers to activities and methods that are used by individuals, organizations, and institutions to facilitate climate-resilient decision-making. Its objective is to promote sustainable development by maximizing the beneficial impacts of climate change responses and minimizing negative impacts across the full spectrum of geographies and sectors that are potentially affected by the changing climate.
