This webinar will spotlight women leaders in the forest and environmental sectors, both within FSC and externally. Speakers will share their experience and points of view of leadership while relating this year’s theme of innovation and technology for gender equality to FSC’s work in forests.
FSC has prioritized diversity and gender equality in the Global Strategy 2021-2026, and this webinar follows FSC’s recent milestones, including the release of the Strategic Framework on Diversity and Gender at the General Assembly in October 2022.
We look forward to a session that is sure to be inspiring and compelling for all members, not only women.
"Motions in Motion" are global membership meetings, providing a dedicated space for cross chamber discussions around all statutory motions and each chamber’s top five policy motions. It is a space for negotiation, merging, refinement, and amendments in relation to secretariat feasibility analyses and members’ feedback.
In this session, members had the opportunity to start the discussion with the motion’s proposers and members. The motions for this discussion were:
This dialogue provided members and stakeholders with a presentation of the Green Paper “Conversion and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) 1994 Cut-Off Date & Beyond”, produced by Richard Donovan and an update on the Conversion Policy Working Group (WG) process with WG members Dr. Marcus Colchester and Annika Terrana.
This is the first of a series of four Conversion Dialogues that seek to:
- Support FSC membership and stakeholders in developing an understanding of the facts, opinions, opportunities and challenges of a change in the FSC Conversion rule,
- Introduce possible solutions and their impact for acceptance, conditions, safeguards, equality of forest management in different regions that are acceptable for FSC members and certificate holders, and
- Provide transparency on the effects of a possible change of the conversion rule in FSC, as well as transparency on the effects if the conversion rule remains.
Background
FSC requested Richard Donovan to develop a Green Paper on the topics of conversion, deforestation and related key issues within the FSC system. Richard examined documents and emails related to the topic and interviewed over 60 individuals over an eight-week period who have been most active on the topic of conversion and deforestation, restoration and social, economic and environmental implications thereof in the FSC system.
This Green Paper is intended to complement the ongoing work in the revision of the Conversion Policy (asked for in the approved Motion 7/2017) by providing background and reference material for wider discussions among FSC members and stakeholders.
The document can be downloaded below in English and in Spanish.

- A 20 minute introduction on the Green Paper by Richard Donovan
- 10 minutes introduction by WG members Dr. Marcus Colchester (26 October Online meeting) and Annika Terrana (27 October Online meeting)

In this event we also had the motions discussion, where the proposers provided information on their motions, members were able to ask questions or comment on the motion and had a lively debate with the motion proposers.

Policy Motion 24/2020
FSC's advocacy to promote forest management certification in tropical protected areas

"Motions in Motion" are global membership meetings, providing a dedicated space for cross chamber discussions around all statutory motions and each chamber’s top five policy motions. It is a space for negotiation, merging, refinement, and amendments in relation to secretariat feasibility analyses and members’ feedback.
The global chamber meetings are an opportunity for members to provide their thoughts on the final motion text and define their general chamber positions on the motions.
Motions and methodology
On 15 September, members will meet with their respective chambers to discuss the final motion text, identify priority motions for the chamber and define their general positions on the motions. Then on 22 September, each chamber will share their general positions on the motions with the other chambers.
The current motions text is available online here, and the final version can be accessed through the same link on 03 September 2022.
Please note that in the original membership engagement plan there were 4 chamber meetings scheduled in September. However, in order to allow members the ability to discuss the motions during the week of the General Assembly, FSC has now reduced this to 2 meetings in September and 2 meetings during the week of the General Assembly.
