In its 20th year, the Forest Stewardship Council (Fsc) invites all media to attend the “Fsc+20 Forum”in Seville, Spain, from 8-10 September 2014. Part of the week-long 7th Fsc General Assembly (GA) 2014, the “Fsc+20 Forum”is made up of three key sessions where an unprecedented number of heads of business, environmental and social Ngos, and other organizations will discuss the greatest challenges facing Fsc and the world’s forests. With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) coming up in 2015, the event will bring together the key people from the environmental, social and economic sectors at a time crucial to the future of our forests and our planet. The Fsc+20 Forumis part of 50-plus GA side events that are taking place across these three days, and will include sessions on Tropical Forest Timber: avoiding deforestation while ensuring market value; dollars and sense: Balancing consumer demand with forest resources; show me the money: the role of finance and investments in responsible forest management.

Media will have access to these sessions, as well as the opportunity to attend events and conduct interviews with the panelists. More details about the panelists, and the opportunities to attend events, will be released in coming months.
