The pan-European Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management (C&I for SFM), also known as FOREST EUROPE criteria and indicators, are an internationally agreed policy instrument for evaluating and reporting on sustainable forest management at the pan-European and national levels. The pan-European C&I set consists of 6 criteria and 35 quantitative indicators as well as additional qualitative (policy) indicators. They serve as the basis for assessment of the "State of Europe´s Forest" (2003, 2007 and 2011) and provide the basis for regional and national policy, analysis, and monitoring.
