Description
Given the large amount of people who registered to attend the Copenhagen proceedings (around 45,000) and that over 5,000 journalists were present, clearly the environment and climate change is an issue of international strategic importance and forestry is an essential feature of this ongoing debate. Join us and our prestigious guest speakers in this free interactive webinar to discuss forestry and the future in more depth. Topics we intend to cover include:
- Why is forestry important?
- What are the current market trends in terms of forestry?
- What opportunities are available for organisations wanting to use forestry in a voluntary carbon management strategy?
- What standards and methodologies are available? How do they work?
- Policy and the post 2012 landscape (US Cap & Trade, REDD, COP15 outcomes)
- Investment - how can money be successfully deployed on the ground? How can private investors get involved if REDD comes into play at a national level?
- Q & A
