Forests as a Climate Solution is a three-part podcast series that takes you inside the frontlines of climate change in our forests – from caribou in Labrador to wildfires in Western Canada – and explores how forest managers, Indigenous leaders and scientists are reshaping what “sustainable forestry” means in a warming world.
Why this series matters now
Climate change is no longer a distant threat for forests – it is here, and it is changing everything from wildlife behaviour to wildfire risk and business models for forest companies. Across the three episodes, you will hear how forests are both highly vulnerable to climate impacts and are one of the most powerful climate solutions we have, storing vast amounts of carbon, cooling the planet and supporting communities and biodiversity. The series follows how FSC and its partners are responding: rethinking standards, developing new tools, and centering Indigenous knowledge to keep forests healthy, resilient and economically viable.
Listen and get involved
Together the three episodes offer a clear, hopeful message: with the right mix of planning, science, Indigenous knowledge and innovative finance, we can keep forests standing, resilient and full of life – and support the communities and businesses that depend on them.
Listen to the Forests as a Climate Solution series to hear these stories first-hand, explore practical examples you can apply in your own work, and learn how to engage with initiatives like Climate Vulnerability Assessments, Verified Impact and the Forests as Climate Solutions program.
