The
Canadian Criteria and Indicators Framework of the Canadian Council of
Forest Ministers (CCFM) is a science-based framework used to define and
measure Canada’s progress in sustainable forest management. The
criteria represent forest values that Canadians want to enhance or sustain,
while the indicators identify scientific factors to assess the state of
the forests and measure progress over time.

The CCFM released its first framework of criteria and indicators (C&I) for sustainable forest management in 1995, and subsequent reports in 1997 and 2000. These were important steps in implementing Canada’s national and international commitments related to sustainable forest management.
In 2003, the CCFM released an updated C&I framework. In 2006, the CCFM released its report on national progress toward sustainable forest management.
The CCFM is also involved with the Montréal Process, which has established and is reporting on criteria and indicators for the sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests. The Montréal Process includes 12 non-European countries covering 90% of the world's temperate and boreal forests. Its liaison office is provided by the Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada.
