This session will address the pressing challenges climate change poses to achieving national forestry goals, while highlighting the importance of sustainable timber for Ireland’s construction future. VEON will also delve into the vital role of ecological services and how every individual and business, regardless of land ownership, can make a difference in protecting biodiversity.
The event will feature a compelling case study from a corporate partner, Cook Medical, in Limerick, showcasing real-world applications of corporate environmental responsibility.
