Corporate Ecosystem Services Review

Developed in cooperation with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
(WBCSD) and the Meridian Institute, this intensive Ecosystem Services Review training for corporate consultants is sponsored by the World Resources Institute.

Since its launch this March, over forty corporations have implemented the ESR and scores of others are gearing-up to use
the methodology. As a result, demand for consultants with expertise in ecosystem services is on the rise.

This training will provide consultants with detailed information about this powerful new methodology.

ESR Case Examples

The experience of these WBCSD member companies and other ESR case examples will be explored during the training session:

Azko Nobel used the ESR to inform plants location strategies in Asia

BC Hydro ran an ESR on a commissioned hydroelectric power plant, improving its management

Mondi reviewed their FSC certified plantations, developing several profitable strategies

Rio Tinto used the Review at a prospective mine in Peru

Syngenta conducted an ESR for small farmers in India and developed new strategic ideas

Supply Chains – several firms are using the ESR to analyze and develop supply chain management strategies related to
ecosystem service-based risks and opportunities

Product Development – the Review is being woven into product design and innovation processes

EMS – from plant management to environmental impact assessments, the ESR is helping several firms improve and enhance
existing practices

Benchmarking – some companies are using the ESR to enhance their environmental performance goals, matrices, and monitoring

Navigating the Carbon Offsetting Standards Maze

Organisations who are contemplating becoming ‘Carbon Neutral’ are faced with a myriad of choices with regards to offset standards. It’s a confusing issue and one for which there is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on the brand, culture and sustainability goals of each individual organisation. EcoSecurities will facilitate an interactive discussion on the key issues which need to be considered when any organisation is contemplating which carbon offsets to use as part of any overall carbon management strategy. In particular the webinar will focus on:

– What is a standard?
– When is a high quality standard perhaps not as important?
– Building capacity
– Challenges for the implementation of projects
– Current trends
– Pricing
– Case study – Yahoo!
– Registries
– Interactive Q & A

Agriculture, Forestry, and other Land Uses: A Cinderella Story for the Carbon Markets?

Agriculture, forestry, and other forms of carbon based on land use and land use change have for a long time been the "ugly ducklings" of the regulated carbon markets. Not only is forestry carbon explicitly barred from being used in the world's largest carbon market, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, but its use has been severely limited within the Kyoto Protocol and its Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This despite the fact that forestry carbon projects have long been a mainstay of the voluntary carbon markets.

Now – with developments in California, a new President about to take office in the US, and increasing international negotiations on 'REDD' (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) – the fate of carbon from Agriculture, Forestry, and other Land Uses (or AFOLU to use the less than sonorous VCS acronym) may be about to change.

Join us for a FREE webinar to look at what is happening around the world with respect to "AFOLU" carbon, in both the voluntary and regulated markets. The webinar (which will leave plenty of time for questions, answers and a participative discussion) will cover issues such as:

• Snapshot of the markets (particularly on forestry): volumes, values, and project types

• A look at what happened in Poznan at the recent Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol

• What is happening on AFOLU in the US, and what can be expected under an Obama Presidency

• New methodologies

• How investors might look at carbon from AFOLU projects

• What's next for AFOLU and REDD, post-Poznan

• Q & A

Panelists will include:

Gia Schneider, EKO Asset Management Partners
Steve Schwartzman, Environmental Defense Fund; and
Allison Shapiro, The Ecosystem Marketplace

The Panel will be moderated by Ricardo Bayon, EKO Asset Management Partners.

Biodiversity & Ecosystem Finance

Following the success of the inaugural Biodiversity & Ecosystem Finance event which took place in New York on 27-28 March 2008 and was attended by over 100 participants from 19 countries, Green Power Conferences will once again bring together the corporate and finance communities with the biodiversity and ecosystem industry to drive this critical early stage market forward.

The March event investigated the concepts surrounding financial instruments aimed at conserving and preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services and delegates at the event came together to discuss methods to change the way the economy values the environment. The need for patient capital was the key theme across the two days as traditional banks, corporate and venture funds normally seek returns within a short time frame but these projects generally require time frames of five, ten, twenty or many more years to come to fruition.

Many companies still have trouble seeing the bottom line relationship of Biodiversity & Ecosystem services. Financiers investing in companies or projects that may have biodiversity or ecosystem impacts and businesses such as oil, gas and mining that have an impact have traditionally focused on the risk elements such as reputational risk from negative publicity but companies now need to start looking at the opportunities that can be derived from Biodiversity & Ecosystem services. This two day conference will do just that.

Carbon Markets Africa

The 2nd annual Carbon Markets Africa will once again to provide an excellent platform for business to learn about the latest developments for CDM in Africa. Although lagging behind Asia and Latin America in terms of registered CDM projects, African nations are in a position to benefit from the rapid expansion of the global carbon markets and the increasing demand for CERs. The introduction of programmatic CDM should help to attract more investors to African countries as unilateral CDM projects decrease the potential investment risks.

Developing a Forest Carbon Market in the U.S. – A Look at the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative

Join the Maine Forest Service, Environment Northeast and the Gold Standard in discussing the process and challenges of developing new carbon markets in the U.S.

This presentation and discussion will look at the role of forests in combatting climate change through carbon offsets in New England states, with a particular focus on Maine.

In September of 2008, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) was launched in the Northeastern U.S. This first-of-its-kind mandatory, market-based effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the United States has established a price on carbon. RGGI's intent is to to spur innovation in the clean energy economy and to create green jobs in participating states.

This conversation will include an overview of RGGI and what it means to forestry in Maine. This event will explore the economic and environmental benefits to Maine for protecting and managing forests through RGGI offsets. Environment Northeast and the Maine Forest Service will discuss sequestration offsets under RGGI including additionality, verifiability, and permanence with a response on methodologies by the Gold Standard.

Join Alec Giffen, Director of the Maine Forest Service, Ellen Hawes, Policy Analyst-Forestry for Environment Northeast, and Jasmine Hyman, Marketing Director of the Gold Standard.
