Résumé

The Paris Agreement involves, directly or indirectly, forest ecosystems as a key component to achieve climate change mitigation targets. Recent research suggests that forest managers and policy makers should rather put the focus on the adaptation of forest ecosystems to climate change (as other international processes demand), this representing the main challenge that will also determine the capacity of forests to act as carbon sinks. This is particularly relevant for forest ecosystems in the Mediterranean basin, for which the expected impacts of climate change are huge, and where forest growth and survival are strongly limited by water scarcity. Assessing the ability of forest ecosystems to adapt to climate change together with their key role in climate change mitigation requires sound scientific information (and data).
