Is the new HCS approach a deforestation breakthrough?

The new high carbon stock approach, developed by the HCS Convergence Working Group, promises to end the period of confusion created by the previous HCSA and HCS+ programmes, which had differing definitions of what consitutes high carbon stock. In this webinar, three experts debate what the new approach is designed to do better, and how it has brought together the best of both the previous approaches, how the new approach will help companies deliver on their zero-deforestation commitments and the challenges it will present.

Panel:

• Dr Simon Lord, group chief sustainability officer, Sime Darby
• Grant Rosoman, forests campaigner in Indonesia, Greenpeace, and chair of the High Carbon Stock Approach steering group
• Dr Kuan-Chun Lee, senior scientist, P&G
