Welcome to Focali

Focali (Forest, Climate, and Livelihood research network) is a Swedish research network focusing on forest / bio-energy, climate change and poverty issues. Several Swedish universities and institutions are represented in the network. The purpose is to ensure that Sida and other Swedish authorities have access to relevant knowledge for the effective use of forest operations to achieve climate-poverty targets. Focali also aims to increase the flow of relevant information between scientists, industry, government and civil society. Focali is a part of The Forest Initiative - a strategic partnership between Sida, the Swedish Forest Agency and the Swedish Forestry Association
