Ottawa, ON–The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) welcomes a major investment of $4.7M from Environment Climate Change Canada’s Nature Smart Climate Solutions Fund to advance Climate Smart Forestry in forest management across Canada. The overarching goal of the project is to identify, develop, and implement climate smart practices and strategies to make our forests more resilient. “Climate change represents a profound threat to the health and well-being of all Canadians, our forests, and our communities. That’s why SFI introduced new and progressive objectives related to climate smart forestry and fire resilience and awareness in the SFI Forest Management Standard. This is a game-changing opportunity for us to make a real contribution at a national scale by working with our diverse network of SFI-certified organizations across millions of hectares,” said Kathy Abusow, President and CEO of SFI.
