  • Motion 12/2014: Fast-tracking the implementation of motion 18 from GA 2011
  • FSC Global Strategic Plan 2015-2020: FSC is the leading catalyst and defining force for improved forest management and market transformation, shifting the global forest trend toward conservation, restoration, and respect for all
  • Action 15 – FSC Implementation Plan: Increase revenue to landowners to support conservation and restoration of landscapes.

The working group has six members and represent economic, environmental and social interests; and the global South and global North. They held their first in-person meeting in Bonn, Germany on 2-5 October 2018.
