Future Forest Strategy Department

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.

The Forest Carbon Center on Climate Change aims to achieve the 2030 NDC goals and 2050 carbon neutrality by researching responses to forest sector climate change negotiations, enhancing domestic carbon sinks, and developing measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems for forest carbon reduction and transfer abroad.

Forest Carbon Policy Research Team

The Forest Carbon Policy Research Team conducts research on forest sector greenhouse gas absorption forecasts, climate change responses, and reduction policies to achieve national greenhouse gas reduction goals.

The Overseas Forest Carbon Research Team

The Overseas Forest Carbon Research Team conducts studies on promoting sub-national level REDD+ projects, establishing operational standards, and other foundational research to implement REDD+ projects to secure carbon reduction achievements from the overseas forest sector. Additionally, we conduct research to enhance transparency and reliability for the Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs).
