FSC a besoin des jeunes: éducation, recherche, et attentes
FSC évolue, et nous voulons être utiles aux jeunes générations afin de cocréer des solutions permettant de faire face à la crise à laquelle leur avenir est confronté. Nous voulons comprendre ce que les jeunes savent de FSC, et ce que FSC peut leur apporter pour les motiver à interagir avec FSC en tant que membres, dans des groupes de travail, en tant que chercheurs, en tant qu'auditeurs, et en tant que futurs décideurs. Nous donnerons aux panélistes et au public la possibilité de défier FSC en leur demandant pourquoi ils devraient s'engager aux côtés de FSC, ceci afin d'aider FSC à comprendre ce que nous avons besoin d'offrir.
Au cours de cette session interactive, l'Association internationale des étudiants en sylviculture (IFSA) présentera d'abord les résultats de son enquête mondiale visant à déterminer quand, où et dans quels niveaux de détails ils ont découvert et étudié FSC et la certification en général. L'IFSA fera participer le public de manière à ce qu'il contribue à ces résultats. Ensemble, nous voulons identifier les domaines dans lesquels FSC doit offrir un soutien aux enseignants pour enseigner la certification FSC.
De jeunes scientifiques de différentes disciplines discuteront des raisons pour lesquelles ils envisagent d'étudier FSC et des sujets spécifiques qu’ils prévoient d’aborder, des défis qu'ils doivent relever pour investir du temps dans la recherche liée à FSC, pour accéder aux données et aux financements et pour trouver des interlocuteurs pour les entretiens. Nous voulons entendre le point de vue des jeunes autochtones sur ce qu'ils attendent de FSC pour qu'il soit intéressant pour eux de donner de leur temps à FSC. Nous montrerons des exemples du large éventail de sujets de recherche liés à FSC, d'opportunités d'emploi et d'autres possibilités de collaboration, et nous célébrerons l'engagement des jeunes, qui est une réussite pour FSC et pour eux

He served as president of the local committee IFSA CHAUPEA and currently represents Latin America in the International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA). He stands out for his commitment to ecological restoration, student leadership, and international collaboration, actively participating in environmental initiatives and dialogue spaces to strengthen climate action from the perspective of forestry youth.
Dr. Charline Depoorter
Dr. Charline is a postdoctoral researcher in the Sustainability Research Group at University of Basel (Switzerland) and Research Fellow at the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies at KU Leuven (Belgium). A political scientist by training, her research interests include transnational sustainability governance, global value chains, political economy, and global environmental politics. She currently investigates (public and private) regulatory instruments for sustainable global value chains, with an empirical focus on the land use sector.
Sarah Anne Stevens
Sarah is a PhD candidate at Leiden University, where she supports a comparative multistakeholder global governance project. Her personal work focuses on political, economic, and ecological changes occurring through the FSC's governance process. Sarah Anne formerly worked at Public Citizen, where she supported trade, human rights, and environmental advocacy. During her graduate studies, she volunteered as a researcher to support frontline communities whose human rights had been violated by development banks.
Laura Birbalaite
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.
Maureen Kamau
Maureen Kamau is a first-year doctoral student at the University of Eastern Finland with a background in forestry and hands-on experience in natural resources management. Her master's thesis analysed climate adaptation strategies in boreal forest management based on FSC standards. Building on this, her PhD studies examine climate resilience in community-managed forests in the Global South and assess the impact of certification on carbon stocks. Maureen advances inclusive, science-informed approaches to forest policy and governance.
Dian Intarini
Dian Intarini, rooted in Javanese culture, is the Indigenous Peoples Manager for Forestry and Certification at FSC-International. She co-founded Indonesia’s Dala Institute and is affiliated with Gadjah Mada University, University of Hohenheim, and University of Twente. Dian has consulted for CIFOR/ICRAF and FSC, conducting research in Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Papua. Her expertise includes land tenure, community resource management, certification, Forest governance, food security, and rural development.
