The FSC International Summit on Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) and Indigenous Cultural Landscapes (ICLs) held in Bonn, Germany from November 30th to December 2nd 2015 generated a solutions-oriented momentum for Canadian participants. Prominent representatives from Canada participated in the session including Minister Laurent Lessard, Quebec Minister of Forests, Wildlife and Parks, Jim Lopez, President & CEO Tembec, aboriginal representatives, and members of the environmental community.

In the run-up to the 21th UN Climate Change Conference (COP 21), FSC France has prepared a manifesto calling on the attending governments to take firm and effective decisions concerning the world’s forests. FSC International is proud to endorse this manifesto, which demands clear and transparent commitments to ambitious reductions in CO2 emissions which include the forestry and land-use sectors.
