As organisations in the compliance, pre-compliance and voluntary markets are increasingly looking to fully understand their carbon liabilities, this Working Group has been set up to help companies, across a variety of sectors (including retail, financial, transport and aviation), develop and implement the right carbon management strategies to mitigate the impact of climate change and ease the transition to a low carbon economy. The WG will cover a broad range of topics including internal abatement measures, carbon standards, the role of offsets, forestry and REDD, small-scale community projects and emerging policy and legislation from the UN negotiations.
Activity plan (January – April 2010):
We are planning to focus on the following sub-categories in detail in the Carbon Management WG over the next 3-4 months:
- Business implications and outcomes from COP 15 – webinars, reports and forums with CBI, Verdantix, EcoSecurities and CMIA.
- Latest developments in forestry, an update on REDD policy and private sector investment.
We are always interested in hearing feedback from our members, be it around content - if there are topics, challenges or issues you would like to see addressed - or you'd like to go over how 2degrees works and find out more, please contact Roz Curzon Lewis - Head of the Carbon Management Working Group.
