First public consultation of the method
'03 Climate-optimized forest management'

The scope of application of the forest climate standard is extended: OCELL enters the first public consultation with its first draft of the method '03 Climate-optimized forest management' . This is thefirst time it has been presented to the Technical Committee and the Forest-Climate Council public in written form . The aim is to develop a pilot version of the method based on the feedback from the public consultation and the subsequent deliberations of the eva foundation committees.

The method aims to increase, maintain and stabilize the carbon store . By adapting forestry operations planning to the effects of climate change and reducing the use of wood, the aim is to increase or maintain carbon stocks at the level of forestry operations. Particular attention is to be paid to forest risk management and the future stability of forests.
