Open Call: Field Dialogue on Climate Positive Forest Products by The Forest Dialogue

12-15 September 2022

IFSA’s Sub-commission of The Forest Dialogue(TFD) is happy to announce that the application period for the Climate Positive Forest Products dialogue organised by TFD is now open! The open call will close on 18 August 2022.

The Forests Dialogue (TFD) is an organisation that provides international leaders in the forest sector with an ongoing, multi-stakeholder dialogue (MSD) platform and process focused on developing mutual trust, a shared understanding, and collaborative solutions to challenges in achieving sustainable forest management and forest conservation around the world. For more information about TFD visit their website  https://theforestsdialogue.org/

TFD is convening a Field Dialogue on Climate Positive Forest Products (CPFP) focused on Mass Timber from 12th-15th September 2022 in and around Helsinki, Finland with the goal of building collective understanding, trust, and collaboration across diverse stakeholders.  For more details on the dialogue click https://theforestsdialogue.org/sites/default/files/cpfp-finland_concept_note_2022.pdf

IFSA is excited to collaborate with TFD. For their CPFP dialogue TFD has invited two IFSA members-one preferably from Finland/EU and a global member, to join them in Finland. We are not necessarily looking for experts in mass timber or forest products; rather, we are looking for someone who is eager to learn and share what they will learn at this dialogue with IFSA. TFD prefers that our members participate as stakeholders rather than as observers.

If you are interested, please register here by the 18th August, https://forms.gle/fMr6sVsbm5uVj8T28
