Resumo(s)
Forest certification is a voluntary market-based instrument that emerged in the 1990’s. Forest
certification systems are sustained through consumer support to ensure that forest products meet their
standards and regulations, from the forest, through the supply chain, to its end use. These systems
maintain credibility to users and consumers through independent and accurate audits, assessments
and monitoring processes. Forest certification is also seen as an indirect political and economic
incentive to forest management improvement, segregated from the traditional state mechanisms. 20
years after its emergence, expansion and evolution to its current model, the impacts of its governance,
certification and accreditation processes are assessed in the forest sector worldwide and forecast to a
nearby future. Forest certification has been active in Portugal for nearly 10 years and its evolution and
integration within the Portuguese forest sector are assessed in this work as well.
