The Future of FSC Forest Management: Streamlining Standards for Outcome Orientation
Outcome orientation is a new concept for FSC with significant implications for forest management certification.
First, we will present the concept and the latest proposals for its deployment in FSC’s normative framework. Notably, this will impact both the Principle, Criteria and International Generic Indicators and the development of Forest Stewardship Standards in every country.
Then, we will dive into an example to illustrate what it means in practice.
Lastly, we will take proper time for Q&A, to discuss and let you exchange your views.
