The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) has released new science-based resources designed to support the identification and prioritization of climate risks to forests in the United States.

The summaries provide a practical, region-specific foundation for climate risk assessment and adaptation planning, drawing on the best available scientific information based on observed and projected climate trends. They include three regions — the Northeast and Lake States, the Northwest, and the Southeast.

“By grounding climate risk assessments in North American-specific data and forest-specific vulnerabilities, SFI is supporting certified organizations as they take proactive, science-based steps to strengthen forest resilience, protect biodiversity, and sustain the many benefits forests provide,” said Greg Cooper, director of conservation implementation at SFI.
