Trees that are germinating today will live to middle age in a climate already vastly changed. Silvicultural measures must therefore be carried out in a timely manner and, if possible, in such a way that the future forest can fulfil its functions when various possible climate scenarios occur. The lead for implementing measures for adaptation to climate change in the forest management sector is taken by the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN.
