CSFEP is helping local actors utilize the best available science.
With WebsEdge and IUFRO World Congress, we are excited to release a short film about CSFEP's work to help local value chains around the world better utilize relevant science to improve their impact to climate, biodiversity, and communities.
Enormous thanks goes to to BuildX Studio, which allowed us to film on-site at its Kenya project, The Rewildings. This timber development is a great example of what is possible with climate smart forest economies in East Africa.
A Scoping Dialogue on Climate Positive Forest Products
The Forests Dialogue (TFD) convened a virtual scoping dialogue on Climate Positive Forest Products (CPFP) on April 26th, 29th, and May 3rd, 2021. Using mass timber building materials as an entry point, the Initiative aims to build understanding and agreement amongst stakeholders around the opportunities, challenges, and knowledge gaps related to utilizing forest products as a climate change mitigation tool.
