MSU to co-lead workshop on climate solutions through biobased products

In Michigan, Michigan State University (MSU) reported that that the MSU Department of Forestry partnered with Natural Resources Institute Finland to facilitate workshop on climate-smart forestry products.

Researchers and leaders of government and industry from Finland, Michigan, Maine, Washington and other states will gather in Helsinki, Finland, on May 26, for a unique set of workshops focused on biobased forestry products, MSU said.

“Climate change is the grand challenge of our time, and exploring biobased circular economic models can offer a path forward in mitigating the climate crisis,” said Kelly Millenbah, dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State University (MSU).

The upcoming workshop originated from a 2020 memorandum of understanding between Michigan and Finland, as well as parallel agreements with Finland between Maine and Washington to cooperate in advancing a sustainable forestry-based economy.
