What is FSC Forest Week?
Forest Week is an annual campaign that raises awareness about FSC’s work and highlights the role forest stewards, like you, have in fighting climate change and biodiversity loss by supporting responsible forestry.
Thriving forests are key to our fight against the climate and biodiversity crises. To achieve our vision of healthy and resilient forests that sustain life on Earth, it is critical to raise awareness and inspire responsible actions that positively impact our environment.
With 1.6 billion people reliant on forests for their livelihoods, and approximately 80 per cent of the world’s terrestrial animal species calling them home, it is our shared responsibility to protect these precious ecosystems. Choosing FSC-certified products helps safeguard biodiversity and protect endangered species.
Who can take part?
FSC certificate and licence holders, individuals and non-licence holder organisations, such as NGOs and government entities, can all participate in the campaign to help raise awareness about the importance of responsible forestry.
What is happening in 2024?
Save the date, FSC Forest Week 2024 will be taking place September 21-27, 2024. Register here if you would like to take part in the campaign.

FSC Forest Week in 2023
From September 23 - 29, 2023, companies, NGOs, influencers and people from all over the world came together for FSC Forest Week to educate consumers about the social and environmental benefits of certification, and about FSC's mission of ensuring we have Forests For All Forever. We're encouraged by the positive impact we created, together.
Under the theme “Trust the Tree”, we successfully drove awareness around FSC's work and highlighted the role that forest stewards, like you, have in combating climate change and biodiversity loss by supporting responsible forestry.
