The Forest Stewardship Council – US released a report that found evidence that FSC-certified forests in the US and Canada store more carbon when compared to forests managed with common practices, showing the positive climate impact of the forest management practices associated with FSC certification. …FSC engaged SCS Global Services to measure the amount of carbon stored by US and Canadian forests managed using both FSC and common practices. The studies included a mixed pine forest, a mixed boreal forest, and a redwood region. The research showed that forests in the US and Canada managed to FSC practices stored additional carbon compared to the baseline, with the results varying based on the type of forest. These results build on other findings by Ontario Nature and Ecotrust, contributing to a growing body of evidence that responsible forest management can help mitigate climate change.
