The Future Forest Strategy Department contributes to improving the quality of life and promoting a sustainable society by developing strategies and utilization systems that enhance the value of forests and forestry both in Korea and abroad. Our research focuses on advancing future-oriented forest policies, invigorating the forest industry, and strengthening international and inter-Korean cooperation in forestry. We also work to establish a digital forest management system, support private forest management, and promote convergence research on forest welfare and human services. In addition, we conduct research to increase carbon sinks in support of achieving the 2030 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and 2050 carbon neutrality goals. The department also develops technologies to maintain and enhance the functions of urban forests and advances research on forest hydrologic cycling.

Forest Governance Living Lab

The Forest Governance Living Lab conducts research on forest policy governance, including the development of participatory decision-making and evaluation programs to improve public understanding and acceptance of forest policies. It also facilitates deliberative discussions on key issues to mitigate public conflicts and enhance communication.

Inter-Korean Forest Cooperation Research Unit

The Inter-Korean Forest Cooperation Research Unit studies changes in North Korea’s forest ecosystems and policies, which share the same ecological system as those of the Korean Peninsula. Based on this research, it develops policies for integrated forest management and inter-Korean forest cooperation.
