La ciencia en el FSC, el FSC en la ciencia
Invitamos a académicos de diferentes campos de especialización a compartir lo que identificaron como impacto y alcance de FSC. Debatiremos los puntos fuertes y débiles del sistema FSC identificados por los investigadores, así como sus recomendaciones sobre cómo FSC puede aprovechar sus hallazgos y cómo puede apoyar su trabajo.
- Tema 1) Escuchar a la gente en las empresas certificadas por FSC en Brasil: A través de entrevistas en más de 70 empresas, los investigadores identificaron y analizaron las percepciones del personal sobre los impactos positivos y negativos de la certificación FSC (Nunes)
- Tema 2) FSC en Croacia: A partir de datos recopilados entre 2015 y 2023, los investigadores aportan pruebas de que el papel de FSC evolucionó de ser un instrumento de presión del mercado a convertirse en una herramienta para mejorar las prácticas sostenibles, y para posicionarse en mercados exclusivos (Klarić)
- Tema 3): Dos grupos de investigadores desarrollaron distintos enfoques para investigar los efectos de FSC sobre la biodiversidad a escala mundial. Estos aportan ideas estratégicas para ampliar la certificación de MF.

Laura Birbalaitė, Leiden University
My name is Laura Birbalaite, and I am a PhD Researcher at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs, Leiden University, the Netherlands. With our research team of four, we are carrying out a comparative, in-depth analysis of capacity, effectiveness and legitimacy of multistakeholder global governance, which the FSC is a part of. In my own individual dissertation on the FSC, I am investigating how and in what ways the principles of care are lived and reflected in its governance. Prior to academe, I was primarily involved in environmental and social grassroots movements and community organising.
