The Mediterranean forest suffers from a lack of management due to its peculiarities: low productivity, low economic profitability of its use, lack of incentives, lack of timber industry and different types of ownership, among others. This situation affects its biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides. That is why science demands management aimed at guaranteeing challenges such as its survival, resilience and adaptation to climate change.

The recent study 'A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change' published in Nature Communications shows that the measures taken are fragmented, local and not transformative. CREAF calls for more integrated and coordinated measures capable of reducing the risk that climate change poses to people.
