The FSC general assembly (GA) is FSC’s highest decision-making body, attracting hundreds of participants from indigenous people, environmentalists, business and others in FSC membership.

Leaders and decision makers come together at the GA to discuss a responsible future for the world’s forests and the people and animals who inhabit them.

The GA is traditionally held every three years, however the general assembly planned for 2020 was re-scheduled to take place in two parts at the 2021-2022 general assembly. The first part took place virtually in 2021 and the second part will take place as a hybrid event with in-person and online components.

The in-person part of the FSC general assembly is planned to take place in Bali, Indonesia from 9 to 14 October 2022.

  2. Transforming forest Solutions together with Indigenous Peoples, communities, smallholders, and workers
