ActionDescriptionStatus
Scientific/technical activitiesSFI engaged with the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) Foundation to develop an online tool that calculates forest carbon stocks, rates of sequestration, and long-term carbon storage in forest products associated to SFI-certified lands in the USA. The tool is useful for SFI-certified organizations as it helps forest managers make sound management decisions. It is also valuable for others interested in evaluating the carbon contributions of SFI-certified forests, including brand owners that use SFI‑labeled products, and academic and non-profit organizations seeking to better understand contributions of SFI-certified forestlands for climate change mitigation.Completed
Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken: 
SFI coordinated a public webinar showcasing the online tool, including a brief background of the data and processes involved, the operation of the tool, and the outputs available.
