On 26 January 2016, experts from forestry, the wood products, design and the building industries came together to collaborate on Go2WOOD, the sustainable use of wood in Denmark. Over the past few months, CHORA CONNECTION has launched this inter-disciplinary initiative, which for the first time considers the ecological, economic and social aspects of the entire WOOD value chain.

The diverse group of actors are working on several prototypes that will increase the demand for sustainably managed forests in the region, grow more timber in Denmark, produce new and innovative wood products in Denmark and most importantly fix carbon- which can make a dramatic contribution to reverse the effects GHG green house gases, the primary cause of climate change.

This event formalizes the Go2WOOD Knowledge Partnership, which will be offered to municipalities, private developers, academic institutions and the general public to promote WOOD, which in turn will create a more resilient and sustainable society.
