Abstract
Abstract Climate smart forestry (CSF) integrates ecological, economic and social dimensions in forest decision process under climate change. CSF aims to develop adaptive response to global change and optimally contribute to mitigation goals. CSF projects are ecologically effective and economically efficient in reaching the goals and involve society in the process. Definition The potential to simultaneously adapt to and mitigate climate change in the managed forest ecosystems is defined as climate-smart forestry (CSF). CSF strategies aim to develop adaptive response to global change and enhance the provision of ecosystem services and optimally contribute to mitigation goals. Recent attention to socio-economic implications of CSF search for comprehensive approaches integrates social dimensions and engages stakeholders in the process. Review Methodology After a systematic assessment in the Web of Science database, combinations of three keywords “Climate” AND “Smart” and “Forest*” were used to explore the wealth of knowledge regarding CSF. Finally, the five most cited and most relevant publications were selected for the purpose of this minireview (limited to max. five papers). However, the nature of this minireview is a hybrid of review and opinion paper.
