Before this continues, there is a need for in-depth studies and cooperation from the field of science at the national and international levels that focus on the role and contribution of bamboo in adapting and mitigating global climate change. Studies and cooperation can be carried out in the form of dissemination through international events to accommodate scientists and world bamboo observers through international scientific forums.

The Center of Excellence for Science and Technology - Bamboo (PUI Bamboo), Faculty of Forestry, as part of the community of the University of Sumatera  Utara, is expected to be able to participate in increasing capacity and capability in the field of research and publications of international standard, especially in fields related to bamboo as a natural resource which can be developed into various technology-based derivative products and their role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. Bamboo is also expected to create a model to increase the relevance of natural material source products and their derivatives. Utilizing science and technology in the sector to grow the national economy and improve people's welfare. Therefore, PUI Bambu, Faculty of Forestry, University of Sumatera Utara (USU) will conduct the program in the form of the agenda "The International Conference on Bamboo, Forestry Resources, and Application (IC-BaFoRA) on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. The conference will be held in a hybrid for participants outside Sumatera  Utara Province. This forum can be a bridge and media sharing for researchers related to the field of natural resources and their relationships as well as other stakeholders so that together they can synergize science with human needs for a better life and environment.
