It was such an honor to lead the Forest Stewardship Council delegation at NY Climate Week 2024! I have so much gratitude for my colleagues who joined me and all the partners who supported our panels and joined us at various side events. Here are a few key takeaways from our team debrief last week: 1) True collaboration across organizations and sectors is crucial, especially in the Nature Based Solutions space. Our current model of “Coopetition” is not addressing the serious climate issues our world is facing including devastating hurricanes, extreme heatwaves, and severe wildfires. 2) Finance for Nature Based Solutions is growing- and FSC’s Verified Impact for Ecosystem Services has as valuable place in these conversations. 3) Indigenous Peoples are essential to maintain Forest resilience. It was great to see so many sessions highlighting the importance of self-determination and the need for Free, Prior and Informed Consent. Thank you Sarah Billig, Shawn Collier, Avia Matossian, Satnam Manhas, Amy Clark Eagle, Ursula Araya Castro, Francois Dufresne, Zehra Cheatham, Erica Fensom, Simon Jolly, Susan Goldmark, Michelle Diane Hernandez, and so many more! #ClimateWeekNYC #Naturebasedsolutions #partnerships #ecosystemservices

Sarah Billig, President of Forest Stewardship Council U.S., believes corporations must take the lead in tackling deforestation and educating consumers on the importance of sustainable choices. In this Nature’s Newsroom interview at the Nature4Climate Nature Hub, she highlights Amazon’s Climate Pledge Friendly program as a great example of corporate responsibility. Sarah also discusses FSC’s work in helping companies comply with the European Union’s deforestation regulation (EUDR) and collaborate with NGOs like WWF to identify and mitigate supply chain risks. #WithNature #ClimateAction #ClimateWeekNYC

After five years of dedicated effort, the Portland Airport has unveiled its impressive 9-acre timber roof! Crafted by ZGF Architects, this revolutionary structure is the largest of its type worldwide, set to expand the airport’s capacity significantly, with a goal of accommodating up to 35 million travelers each year by 2045. 🌲🏢 This ambitious project features wood sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified origins, including timber from family-run woodlands and tribal territories. 🌲🤝 Remarkably, 72% of the timber is derived from FSC-certified land or areas engaged in sustainable forestry practices, while 16% comes from tribal lands. Each piece of wood in this project has a documented history, reflecting the stewardship of those who managed it throughout its journey. Discover how this blend of cutting-edge design and eco-friendly materials is transforming the landscape of architecture and airport facilities.

This week at Climate Week NYC and UN General Assembly, I was inspired to see so many public and private sectors leaders working together to develop solutions for a brighter future. 🌎🌍🌏 Thank you to Forest Stewardship Council for inviting me to speak at the Nature4Climate hub, alongside Anne Samante, Sergio Guzman and Satnam Manhas. As a panel we talked about nature-based solutions, supporting indigenous self-determination, and the opportunities for AI technology to support agreements that empower change. 🌱 Docusign is proud to support the FCS verified impact program that enables collaboration with governments and businesses. The program allows forest managers to unlock forest data and issue certificate agreements for ecosystem services and nature-based solutions. 🌳 Thank you for an inspiring week in New York with so many incredible speakers across the Climate Group Hub, AI for the UN, Deloitte’s Art of Sustainability, The Female Quotient and Pledge 1%. Thank you Brendan Molony joining me and meeting in person with Sharon L. and Carla Rubio Valla. It was great to meet with new connections like Jaclyn Whittal, Jessica Thomas and Alia McCants. Thank you for hosting us at Axios Deloitte Atlassian Pledge 1% The Carlyle Group Anthesis Group Watershed! #unga #climateweeknyc #nature #climate #socialimpact

Top-down climate data collection isn’t enough. Asger Strange Olesen , Co-Director of moja global, explains the importance of decentralizing data collection to empower land managers and improve transparency. With tools like FLINTpro (Full Land-use Integration Tool), land managers and governments alike can gather accurate, site-specific data, ensuring a more consistent and effective approach to #ClimateAction. 🌿 #NaturePositive #WithNature #ClimateWeekNYC
