URGENCY FOR SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT

 Governments and stakeholders agree that we must urgently work together to build our net zero carbon future. The cost of inaction is simply far too great.  The sooner we act, the more effectively we can reduce the risks and protect the health and safety of Canadians.

It is therefore fitting that the UN is promoting this year’s International Day of Forests around the theme “Forest Restoration as a Path to Recovery and Well-Being”. In Canada and around the world, sustainable forest management, renewable forest products, and committed forest sector workers are uniquely suited to drive a climate smart economic recovery and a net zero future. I would go so far as to say that the quickest and most effective path to meeting Canada’s net zero targets will be one that recognizes the powerful potential of Canada’s forest sector — and the people working in it.
