Forward Thinking Solutions for Policy and Standards

FSC has been working on quite a number of new forest solutions in the last years, both in terms of streamlining the normative framework, proposing tailor-made standards and procedures for small-scale, low intensity and community forests, and incorporating risk-based approaches. 

Join us to learn how these new solutions are part of a bigger framework and are being integrated in the revision of FSC’s core standard setting procedure.
