• 3) The climate risk and vulnerability assessment is proportionate to the scale of the activity and its expected lifespan, such that:

    3.1) For activities with an expected lifespan of less than 10 years, the assessment is performed, at least by using climate projections at the smallest appropriate scale

    SFI Section 7 - Part 1

  • 3) The climate risk and vulnerability assessment is proportionate to the scale of the activity and its expected lifespan, such that:

    3.2) The assessment is performed using the highest available resolution, state-of-the-art climate projections across the existing range of future scenarios consistent with the expected lifetime of the activity, including, at least, 10 to 30 year climate projections scenarios* for major investments

    OBJECTIVE 9. CLIMATE SMART FORESTRY

    Performance Measure 9.1 requires certified organizations to identify and address the climate change risks to forests and forest operations and develop appropriate adaptation objectives and strategies. Strategies are based on best scientific information.
