Understanding and Accessing Carbon Offset Markets: A New Source of Funding for Community Forestry? ( 08-DG-11420004-293)

Grant Number
08-DG-11420004-293

In consultation with community groups, we will conduct original research and adapt existing information on how the voluntary carbon offset market is evolving, how forest carbon plays a role, and the barriers and opportunities for local communities to help fund urban and community forestry through carbon offsets. This project will identify and profile models in which communities have or could access carbon offset funding to help fund their forestry efforts. Products include a full report and a condensed guide for community members and local government, which will both be disseminated nationally through established networks and made available on our websites.
