Afforestation, in addition to providing wood, makes important contributions to climate change mitigation, to the protection of the environment, crops and animals, and to the provision of food for people. Thus, there was wide agreement among participants of the IUFRO co-sponsored 1st International Symposium on Afforestation of Pastures in Subtropical Regions in Curitiba, Brazil on the need to promote afforestation, agroforestry and other alternatives that will ensure the sustainability of natural resources in the face of climate change.
