Climate change is the biggest threat to life on our planet, raising the possibility of extinction on a scale unseen since the end of the dinosaur age. Over the last two decades a robust voluntary market and burgeoning compliance market have arisen where corporations will pay landowners to implement activities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or sequester them from the atmosphere. South Pole is a global leader in this space, with nearly 20 years of experience in carbon markets in over 50 countries. Our Innovation Zone presentation will be lecture-based, providing carbon market intelligence and guidance on how to apply it to enhance the practice of forestry.
The presentation will cover opportunities and trade-offs when managing for ecosystem services like carbon and biodiversity, which can inform foresters in resource assessment and management planning. Further, we will cover options for project types, the pros and cons of different standards and methodologies, and pricing trends for carbon credits, to enable attendees to evaluate and access opportunities in developing markets.
