Assessment Resources

The HCSA Toolkit is an open resource that may be followed by commodity companies, assessment teams and stakeholders to implement No Deforestation commitments in tropical forest landscapes. The demand to stop and reverse commodity-driven deforestation through science-based, credible, and transparent assessment has never been more urgent. This resource page will be updated as new assessment research, data and thinking emerge. Please contact the Secretariat team if you have suggestions for resource materials to share at: info@highcarbonstock.org
