SFI AND MCMASTER UNIVERSITY COLLABORATE TO ADVANCE CLIMATE SMART FORESTRY

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and McMaster University announce a new partnership to support the SFI Climate Smart Forestry Initiative, which is advancing the interpretation and implementation of climate-informed forestry practices across almost 120 million SFI-certified hectares in Canada. With investments from public and private sources, including Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the SFI Climate Smart Forestry Initiative engages experts and SFI-certified organizations to reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by identifying, developing, and implementing practices that meet the SFI 2022 Forest Management Standard objectives, while achieving co-benefits for biodiversity and wildfire risk reduction. Activities include forest GHG accounting, new research on forest vulnerability, and supporting forest management decision-makers through extension materials.
