CLIMATE SMART FORESTRY

Advancing the interpretation and implementation of Climate Smart Forestry across the SFI footprint.

Forests face uncertain challenges as our planet changes, including widespread drought, expanding pest and disease outbreaks, severe weather events, and increasing fire severity. Organizations that are certified to the SFI 2022 Forest Management Standard, which includes objectives for Climate Smart Forestry and Fire Resilience, have identified climate change risk to their forest management operations and are addressing these risks by implementing adaptation and mitigation strategies that promote forest resilience. The SFI Climate Smart Forestry Initiative was developed to accelerate the implementation and interpretation of Climate Smart Forestry across the SFI footprint. ​
