Can’t see the Wood for the Trees?
Perspectives – your partner for high quality forest carbon services

Many side benefits – many winners

Forest carbon projects are highly attractive projects providing many services and valuable side benefits if compared to standard carbon projects. Among those are environmental and social benefits, sustainable forest management as well as a renewable end product. Forest carbon projects not only generate carbon stocks and greenhouse gas (GHG) removals by sinks, they also reduce pressure on natural forests.

 

Forest carbon project challenges

The management of forest carbon projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the voluntary market system requires in-depth understanding and up to date knowledge of the regulatory framework. CDM is a densely regulated instrument and is characterized by a highly dynamic regulatory environment. Forest carbon project ideas have to be carefully pre-assessed, planned and implemented in order to manage the intrinsic risks associated with them such as forest loss and effectual carbon sequestration by trees.
