This year's theme, Trust the Tree, will shed light on the key role forests play in fighting the climate and biodiversity crises. Forest Week will see daily content across leading social platforms for the seven days of the campaign. This will be complemented by events and special partnerships with schools and organizations dedicated to safeguarding forests worldwide.
Last year, Forest Week 2022 saw more than 1,200 partners from over 40 countries actively participate in the campaign, reaching 42 million consumers worldwide.
"FSC Forest Week 2022 demonstrated the collective passion and commitment towards the world's forests," said Trevor Armel, Director of Marketing at FSC International. "We're very inspired to see so many engaged in making this year's effort bigger than ever, raising awareness about the irrefutable role forests play in the fight for a climate-resilient future."
As consumers increasingly consider the impact of their shopping choices, and favour brands that provide sustainable options, Forest Week is the opportunity to turn consumerism into a force for good. Forests sustain us, and sustainably sourced forest products can help ensure resilient, thriving forests for all, forever.
