The project stems from the need to spread and strengthen awareness of GEDI (Gender Equality, Diversity & Inclusion) principles among FSC staff and members, while deepening their understanding of FSC principles related to these themes.

In Italy, over one-third of the territory is covered by forests, but many of them are now abandoned. Small, fragmented properties—often in remote areas and owned by elderly or untraceable proprietors—make effective forest management difficult. This leads to environmental, social, and economic consequences: forests become more vulnerable to the effects of the climate crisis, the risks of fires and hydrogeological instability increase, and the natural and productive heritage is gradually impoverished.

The Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, a historic institution in the Italian Alps, manages a forest heritage of over 19,500 hectares, certified since 1997 under the FSC® standard. This territory is a model of sustainable forest management that protects biodiversity, ensures carbon sequestration, and preserves water and soil quality. However, extreme climatic events such as Storm Vaia have jeopardized the resilience of these forests and their ability to provide benefits—so-called ecosystem services—to the community and surrounding area.
Read MoreFrom storm Vaia to regeneration: the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme certifies positive impacts on carbon, biodiversity, water, soil, and tourism.
In February 2024, the European Parliament and the EU Council reached provisional agreement on the proposal for a Regulation on the establishment of the Carbon Removals Certification Framework (o CRCF), the first EU-wide voluntary framework for certifying carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in products across Europe.

La riforestazione è il termine più comunemente usato per indicare l’impianto di alberi, ma non sempre è il più corretto. Quando si parla di piantare nuovi alberi, c’è un termine più generico e più appropriato che dovrebbe essere utilizzato: forestazione.

How is work in forestry and related sectors changing? We will need qualified personnel to prepare Europe’s forests for the consequences of the climate crisis. At the same time, new occupations are emerging: a report published by FOREST EUROPE analyzes the field of new “green forest jobs.” Unlike traditional forestry jobs, these do not end up in the statistics, so examining them is crucial to understanding how forestry work will change in the coming years.
Read MoreThe forestry workforce in Europe is undergoing significant changes, according to recent reports. Traditional roles like timber harvesting are declining, while challenges such as an aging workforce and gender imbalance persist. However, there’s a growing emphasis on multi-functional forest management and green jobs, challenging old perceptions of the sector. How are the forestry
