Forest-based Solutions

Learn about the opportunities and challenges associated with forest management and climate change, with a focus on how climate models can be used to visualise and support the development of long-term adaptation and mitigation strategies in forest environments to address climate risks.

Learn about the recent advances in the quantification of three vulnerability components in Canadian forests and discover what this means for developing “climate friendly” silvicultural practices in this webinar.

Watch this webinar to learn about two products of the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) Forest Change Project which aim to increase awareness of on-going climate-induced changes and inform decision-making around the adaptation of the forest sector.

In this webinar, learn how might climate change affect forest growth and what can we do about it?

The CVFM tool shows the historical and projected trends for climate indicators identified to be most related to climate events that impact forest operations. The tool graphically highlights differences in climate indicators between regions, lists which climate indicators are linked to forest operations activities, and provides examples of adaptive changes to forest operations.

This report highlights the many ways that conservation serves as a core principle of sustainable forest management in Canada, so that forests will remain healthy and resilient and continue to support and enrich the lives of Canadians for many generations.

The most recent revisions to Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)'s forest management standard (2022) includes 2 new objectives that are focused significantly on forest management adaptation to climate change. In this webinar, Darren Sleep, PhD, Senior Director of Conservation Science and Strategies at SFI explores these new objectives that will help drive forest management adaptation to climate change across Canada.

This standard promotes sustainable forestry based on 13 Principles, 17 Objectives, 41 Performance Measures and 114 Indicators related to water quality, biodiversity, wildlife habitat, species at risk and Forests with Exceptional Conservation Value.

This guide explores terrestrial, aquatic, soil, and wildlife restoration and discusses restoration efforts, action plans and case studies, as well as the organizations that have brought these restoration efforts to life.
