This season marks the 5th edition since its establishment in 2018. The latest annual conference
was organised in Belém, Brazil last autumn.
During this season, the World BioEconomy Forum wants to raise key discussions on the role of the
bioeconomy and bioproducts in mitigating climate change. In the Forum we think that bioeconomy
and bioproducts as additional tools in combatting climate change. Consequently, the annual
conference is named: The World BioEconomy Forum talks on climate – live from Ruka! The theme
will be reiterated throughout the events of the season 2022, and it will be also featured in the
annual Declaration.
Jukka Kantola shares his thoughts: "I'm extremely happy that we are bringing the Forum back to
Ruka! This is in line with our strategy of commuting between the Southern and Northern
hemispheres. Ruka, surrounded by pristine nature sensitive to any climate change, provides an
excellent setting to discuss our 2022 season theme. The Forum, which will be a hybrid event,
will also celebrate its 5th anniversary – Bioeconomy Celebrates Nature!"
The Forum 2022 will be held as a hybrid event and the programme is organised according to the
Four-Pillar Structure.
