FSC Strategy Paper for a Climate Change Engagement released

Dec 06, 2011. /Lesprom Network/. The new strategy paper was presented at an FSC Side Event of the UNFCCC COP17 in Durban, South Africa. The strategy will guide FSC, the leading standard-setting organisation for forest stewardship, on how to position and evolve itself in mitigation efforts against climate change over the coming years, as FSC said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. The strategy paper was developed over two-year process by a balanced FSC membership body, the FSC Forest Carbon Working Group, with inputs from an expert advisory group, consultants and carbon scheme representatives. The new document is FSC’s second thematic strategy paper after the 2004 Social Strategy and therefore represents a milestone for advancing FSC’s policy framework. FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.
