For years, the Film Academy has been working to reduce the carbon footprint of the Goya Awards ceremony. Now, instead of funding new plantations, it is promoting the creation of the Forest Academy, a learning space led by CREAF and aimed at forest owners, technicians and those responsible for the public administration and natural parks of Catalonia.

One of the central axes of the series of training and shared learning days will be the use of the new drought vulnerability index developed by the RedBosquesClima project. The training will combine theoretical sessions with field trips where practical applications will be shown, their real viability will be debated and solutions will be adapted to the needs of managers so that they have the broadest possible vision of how improving the attributes associated with maturity and structural and functional complexity can contribute to improving the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change.

These learning spaces will start with the Forest Academy with a pilot test in Catalonia that will include up to three courses aimed at complementary audiences.

The success of this pilot experience will allow us to evaluate its potential to extend the model to the whole country. The collaboration between the Acadèmia del Cinema and CREAF hopes to be a catalyst that motivates other entities to replace or combine plantations with initiatives that promote forest management linked to the scientific findings of research centers.
