Forestry and other land-use projects are among the fastest growing sectors of the carbon market and have been stimulated recently by the Cancun Agreement and inclusion in the emerging Californian cap-and-trade framework. However, developing and investing in REDD+ and other land-use carbon offsets requires specialised expertise. This series of four webinars – produced in association with Terra Global Capital – will cover all the key technical aspects of developing and investing in REDD+.
