Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
ActionDescriptionStatus
Education/Communication/Raising awarenessSFI is engaging with the Maine TREE Foundation to investigate sustainable forest management strategies that pertain to both past SFI Forest Management Standard practices and the new climate-smart forestry objective in the 2022 SFI Forest Management Standard, and how these practices mitigate the negative effects of climate change. The goal of this project is to develop a reference manual to inform how SFI practices may mitigate climate change risks within Northeastern forests. This information will be communicated to landowners and SFI-certified organizations in a way that allows it to be directly applied when making forest management decisions. Furthermore, an instructional document will be created which includes a set of guidelines on how to scale these learnings across multiple geographies. On-going
