DocumentSFI education and job matching programs expand and deepen youth connection to forests and build future forest and conservation leaders
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) believes that building a next generation of leadership that will take responsibility for solving environmental challenges is one of the best investments a society can make. Promoting an appreciation for the natural world is a key component of SFI’s work because it helps ensure youth can be effective future leaders and have a strong understanding of the value of well managed forests.
Project Learning Tree, SFI’s environmental education program, advances environmental literacy, stewardship, and career pathways using trees and forests as windows on the world. Encouraging children to spend time outside improves creativity, imagination, academic achievement, and overall health and fitness.
PLT tools, resources and training are designed for educators, parents, and community leaders working with youth from preschool through college and university. PLT’s Nature Activities for Families offers fun and easy-to-do activities are perfect for parents and grandparents to help introduce children to nature. For educators, PLT has recently released Explore Your Environment, K-8 Activity Guide to support learning from grades K through 8. It includes online professional development to train educators and those that engage with youth in using the resource. Project Learning Tree Canada is Connecting Youth with Green Jobs and Forest Mentors
PLT Canada is committed to using the outdoors to engage youth in learning about the world around them—in rural, Indigenous and urban communities—and advancing environmental literacy, stewardship, and career pathways.
By 2022, in partnership with the Government of Canada, PLT Canada will have supported over 5,000 green jobs in the forest and parks sectors. Our expanding mentorship program connects youth directly to forest and conservation sector professionals. These SFI education programs provide opportunities for forest leaders to build bridges to future generations.

DocumentForest Monitoring and Assessment for Climate Change Reporting: Partnerships, Capacity Building and Delivery 2007
Also available in:
No results found.This working paper was prepared in light of the upcoming Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in December 2007 to inform about the status and ongoing efforts in the field of forest monitoring, assessment and reporting at national and international levels. Part I is a review of partnerships between FAO and countries for building capacity and supporting implementation of forest monitoring, assessment and reporting, to meet requirements at national and international levels. At national level, FA O works with countries to establish long-term and robust monitoring systems, based on systematic field sampling and data collection. At international level, FAO supports countries to report to the Global Forest Resources Assessments, which is the leading global reporting process on forests, their management and use. Part II presents basic requirements for national forest monitoring systems, seen from a broader policy context. It reviews the current status in countries with respect to two variabl es that are important for climate change reporting – forest area changes and forest carbon stock. It is concluded that in most developing countries the quality of current forest monitoring would not be satisfactory for an accounting system of carbon credits. However, it is also suggested that investment in national forest monitoring is attracting greater interest, as exemplified by the increasing number of countries requesting support from FAO. FAO continues to work in close collaboration with i ts member countries to improve forest monitoring, assessment and reporting, including helping them to meet requirements for forest carbon reporting.
