bullet3 Criteria and Indicators

Criteria and indicators processes arose from UNCED in 1992.  They aim to contribute to sustainable forest management through the definition of its attributes (criteria) and the measurement of progress (indicators).

There are nine International Processes on Criteria and Indicators for sustainable forest management, involving 150 countries, some of which are members of more than one Process. Forty-one Commonwealth countries are members of eight of the Processes (see Annex 3.3).
