2015 was the year that saw the adoption of the SDGs by the UN General Assembly and important climate change commitments at COP21 in Paris. This Annual Review captures just a few of our activities and those of our members, but it already demonstrates that sustainable forest management is much more than just an environmental issue. It equally addresses the social, economic and cultural dimensions of sustainability at the core of the 17 SDGs.

By the end of 2015, over 272 million hectares of forest area was PEFC certified, and more than 10,700 PEFC Chain of Custody certificates had been issued.
