Storing carbon in long-lived wooden products and substituting fossil intensive products to wooden products is often viewed favorably upon. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to build wooden high rise. But how is the market for wooden high rise? What are the views of the possible residents? How large is the substitution effect? This webinar aims at promoting cross-sectoral exchange as well as interdisciplinary exchange on the topic of Wooden High Rise and it is organised by our Forest Bioeconomy Research Network.

The first part of the webinar will contain 10 minutes presentations by the speakers, each with additional 5 minutes for questions. The second part is a conversation where we in groups discuss the talks and where we go from here.

  • Anders Q Nyrud, Professor at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).

  • James Brown, Associate Professor of Architecture at Umeå University.

  • Jaakko Jussila, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Forest Sciences, University of Helsinki.
