Annual Review
Climate change, population growth, urbanization, poverty and inequality... these are just some of the issues that we as society have to tackle, and forests are an important part of the solution. The PEFC family can, and will, place forests at the heart of the solutions to these challenges. Together, we have the opportunity to demonstrate the real value of sustainably managed forests and their contribution to achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
