Healthy, resilient forests are our best defence against the climate catastrophe. Three reasons why:
🌳 Forests absorb vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.
Research shows they absorb twice as much carbon as they emit each year. By becoming carbon sinks, forests help to offset human-driven emissions. ( Resources Institute)
🌳Forests enhance climate resilience.
They are a buffer against extreme weather events like floods, droughts, and heatwaves. They stabilize soil, prevent erosion, and reduce the frequency and severity of landslides. They help rural and Indigenous communities adapt to climate impacts by providing income and vital resources.
🌳If forests are healthy, these benefits multiply.
Restoring degraded forests and maintaining healthy ecosystems is critical for adapting to climate change ( Environment Programme (UNEP)). Stewardship Council (FSC) means forests are managed in a way that protects, enhances and restores ecosystems. Independent studies also show that carbon stocks in FSC-certified forests often increase over time.
This is why we use FSC-certified materials. Because we are committed to the world’s forests.
