Asia-Pacific Workshop on Environmental and Social Certification for Community and Small Private Land Owners
Hobart, Australia
September 22-25, 2010

Certification offers many opportunities for dealing with environmental or social issues through standardisation, verification and market-based rewards. However, often the costs of participation mean that community landowners and smaller private land owners, particularly in the economic south, find start-up costs prohibitive and ongoing maintenance of certification difficult to sustain financially.

This conference takes the perspective that certification needs to be seen in a broad development context rather than just a commodity context.

The goal of the conference is to link community and small private forest owners from the Asia Pacific Region with ideas, customers, resources and each other in a forum that can assist them to embrace certification and achieve sustainable development objectives. It will create a networking opportunity for land owners to share their experiences of what works and what has challenged them with their peers while making available a range of professionals and experts who can help them resolve problems and maximize the value they derive from certified resources.
