As you might know, the FSC International Board of Directors has made EUDR one of the top priorities for the whole organization worldwide as they expect this project to have impacts way beyond the European Union.

We will also have the opportunity to discuss and receive your comments on other topics such as:

The first public consultation for the first draft of the Global Strategic Plan 2021-2026 was carried out from 18 December 2019 to 26 February 2020. The consultation provided insights into the ideas that are shaping the Updated Global Strategic Plan 2021-2026 which will be finalized by the of this year. Based on the results of the first public consultation, the board can now take this process a step further to the next version of this ‘living’ document, which will continue to guide FSC towards helping create a future of Forests For All Forever.
In terms of participation, 151 inputs were collected, 98 of which were from FSC international members. Overall, the first draft of the Global Strategy 2021-2016 was positively received by the stakeholders who participated in the consultation.
The public consultation of the second draft of the Global Strategy 2021-2026 was open for 30 days, from 4 September until 4 October 2020, with the aim to collect stakeholders’ feedback on a series of questions about the second draft. This second consultation was one of the additional engagement mechanisms incorporated by the FSC International Board of Directors in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the postponement of the FSC General Assembly.
In total, 80 participants provided feedback, 59 of whom were FSC International Members. The second draft of the FSC Global Strategy 2021-2026 was in general well received by the participants of the consultation. Most of the answers showed levels of agreement of ≈ 3/4 of all responses, with the remaining quarter consisting of neutrality and disagreements. Most of the views reflected that the FSC Global Strategy 2021-2026 represents a set of consolidated and agreeable aspirations for the years to come.

The objective of this document is to specify the requirements for FSC-accredited certification bodies for developing Interim National Standard (INS) or Interim Regional Standard (IRS), depending on the geographic scope of the standard, for the certification of responsible forest management and the responsible management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) at the Management Unit (MU) level. These standards shall be based on the International Generic Indicators (IGI) and shall address the regional, national or sub-national conditions in which they are to be used and shall consider input from local stakeholders. The FSC Board of Directors at FSC International, acting through the Policy Steering Group (PSG) shall approve Interim National Standards (INS) before they can be used for FSC certification purposes. In March 2020 the revised procedure was published to reflect the FSC Board of Directors’ decision during their 82nd meeting to delegate the approval of INS to the Policy Steering Group.
