FSC Research Portal

Permanent URI for this collection

The FSC Research Portal is an online catalogue that aims to facilitate the search for studies relevant to FSC operations and provide syntheses of the most relevant evidence for decision making by FSC stakeholders. Publications included in the portal to date are of two types: FSC Effect-Related Studies, empirical studies that report on the results and/or impacts of FSC certification; and FSC Relevant Studies, publications that contain information relevant to the development of FSC normative documents. These publications range from scientific articles to grey literature, reports, working papers and books.
