Forest Certification and Climate Change (FCCC) is a mini course expected to take 2-3 weeks to complete for a working professional, offered by the Michigan State University Department of Forestry Forest Carbon and Climate Program (FCCP). This training may be used to fulfill SFI continuing education (CE) requirements in participating states. The course is currently pre-approved for SFI continuing education credits in nine states, and is pending pre-approval in many more.
Forest Certification and Climate Change is designed to provide participants with a robust understanding of how forest land and ecologic services linked to climate change mitigation interacts with existing forest certification. Participants will develop expertise in:
-
Valuing working forests for carbon sequestration
-
Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in forest certification standards
-
Climate benefits for forest certification in wood products
-
Distinguishing climate benefits in chain of custody standards
-
Ensuring climate values of harvested wood products (HWPs) through certification
