Hi All,
FSC is working on some exciting new research to help further quantify the carbon impact of forestry management and they are looking for your feedback. If you are interested in providing your voice or just staying informed of what is happening in this space, please see the details below and register to attend.
FSC Forest Carbon Research Methodology & Outputs
The Forest Stewardship Council U.S. invites you to a workshop for architects, engineers and contractors.
June 30 from 12:00pm - 1:30pm PT / 3:00pm - 4:30pm ET
FSC has hired SCS Global Services to conduct a research project to quantify the carbon impacts of FSC-certified forest management in North America. A key objective for the research is to inform efforts to reduce embodied carbon in construction materials.
This workshop will include a brief presentation of the proposed methodology and outputs for the research, followed a discussion with participants. Input from the workshop will be used to refine the approach.
This workshop is co-hosted with Chris Hellstern (Miller Hull Partnership), Don Davies (Magnusson Klemencic Associates), and Ryan Poole (DPR Construction).
The research is made possible due to financial support from Cascades, DPR Construction, Google, IKEA of Sweden AB, International Paper, Kimberly-Clark, Kruger, Lowe’s, Procter & Gamble, and the Fox Foundation.
Register here for the workshop
FSC will share the research methodology brief ahead of the workshop so participants can review it in advance. This workshop will kickoff a 60-day public comment period.
