The 24th world conference of the IRFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations) brought together 2,500 scientists from more than 100 countries and 1,200 professional foresters from North America. Along with discussions, reports were also released on the issues that should be addressed by current forestry science and by future research. The results and suggestions from the conference are summarized as follows:
(1) With regard to the huge challenge faced by today’s forest societies, it requires scientists to recruit more talents in related fields by integrating a research network so that the highly complex issues can be addressed.
(2) It is paramount to strengthen multifunctional urban green infrastructure jointing with issues such as climate change, food security and citizen health.
(3) For planning an integral development of mountain farming communities, it is advised to learn from foreign experience to develop a mountain village model like those of Satoyama initiatives.
(4) A more diverse ecosystem service of forest is essential to a more sustainable development for the humankind.
