永續森林經營發生的二三事...PEFC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 7.3 & I 7.3.1)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 7.3 & I 7.3.1).

PEFC（Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification，森林驗證認可計畫）與FSC (Forest Stewardship Council，森林經營委員會)，同為全球兩大森林驗證系統。全球林業經營者，在追求森林的永續經營上，所採用的經營標準內容，有否差異呢?我們將瞭解PEFC的驗證框架之原則與準則內容，及如何準備PEFC驗證的要求。

7.3 Communication溝通

7.3.1 The effective communication and consultation with local communities, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders relating to sustainable forest management shall be provided.

7.3.1 與當地社區、原住民和其他利害關係人在永續森林經營方面進行有效的溝通和諮詢。

可能資料的整備：

        組織應建立與當地社區、原住民和其他利害相關者之間的雙向溝通管道，且應主動提供相關的森林經營資訊，並聽取這些群體的意見和建議。在做出影響當地社區或原住民的決策時，應讓他們參與決策過程。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.        保留與當地社區、原住民和其他利害相關者會議或諮詢的紀錄，例如:社會/環境影響諮詢紀錄、開工說明會。

2.        並記錄當地社區、原住民和其他利害相關者提出的意見和建議做出回饋。

3.        提供證明組織在決策過程中，已考慮了當地社區、原住民和其他利害相關者的意見決策紀錄。

PEFC and FSC are the two biggest names in forest certification. So, what's the difference between these two systems? Are they asking forest managers to do completely different things to get certified? Let's dive into PEFC and see what it takes to get certified:

7.3 Communication溝通

7.3.1 The effective communication and consultation with local communities, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders relating to sustainable forest management shall be provided.

Preparation of possible information:

       Organization should establish two-way communication channels with local communities, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders, and should proactively provide relevant information on forest management and listen to the views and suggestions of these groups. Involve local communities or indigenous peoples in the decision-making process when making decisions that affect them.

Therefore, the organization should prepare the following information:

1.        Keep records of meetings or consultations with local communities, Indigenous peoples and other stakeholders, e.g., social/environmental impact consultations, briefings.

2.        Recording the comments and suggestions made by local communities, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders to give feedback.

3.        Provide evidence that the organization has taken into account the views of local communities, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders in the decision-making process.
