Have your say!

Public consultations are open on the revised Regional Risk Assessments (RRAs) for British Columbia and Quebec, and the newly developed RRAs for Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Denmark – Trees Outside Forests, and US – Primary Sourcing Regions. These consultations close on Friday, 6 December 2024.

Two further, newly developed RRAs for US – National Forests and Vietnam are also being consulted on. Both these consultations close on Friday, 13 December 2024.

All stakeholders are invited to participate in the public consultations on the draft RRAs. Stakeholders may access the documents via the links below, and are requested to submit comments through the individual feedback platforms set up for the respective RRAs. (Note that feedback platforms might differ between RRAs.)

Consultation process

All comments received from the public consultations, alongside comments from local experts mandated by SBP, will be reviewed by the Secretariat and may lead to changes to the draft RRAs. Updated versions will then be published by SBP (expected Q1 2025) for Biomass Producers to use for certification purposes. At the same time, those versions will be shared with SBP Technical Committee for final review and recommendations for endorsement.

If you have any questions regarding the public consultations or the RRA development procedure, please do not hesitate to contact us at RRA@sbp-cert.org.
