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 implementation of Motion 23/2022 ‘Use landscape-wide approaches adapted to local conditions and strengthen Standard Development Groups (SDGs) to improve the protection of Intact Forest Landscapes’ has reached an important milestone. Thanks to a collaborative work which included researchers, experts, Focus Forest Advisory Group, FSC International and FSC National Offices, landscape considerations for certification within Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) can now be tested on the field through pilots. Interested Standard Development Groups in countries with IFLs can follow the Procedure FSC-PRO-60-004 V1-0 EN Draft 1-0 ‘Development of indicators for the protection of Intact Forest Landscapes considering the landscape level’ and its supporting Guidance.
