As global demand for high‑integrity nature‑based solutions grows, so does the need for transparent and credible data on their real‑world impact. This session explores how ecosystem services—carbon, biodiversity, water, soil, air quality and cultural and recreational values—can be robustly measured, monitored and verified.

Introducing FSC Verified Impact, we will demonstrate how a science‑based, third‑party verified framework enables forest managers, project developers, investors and businesses to access high‑quality, trusted data from FSC‑certified forests. The session will also showcase real-life, investment- and sponsorship-ready forest projects, illustrating how verified ecosystem service outcomes can build confidence, unlock finance and turn responsible forest stewardship into measurable, credible impact.
