Forest Carbon Asia Information Brief: Standards updates, April 2012
Anuradha Vanniarachchy
Dear all,
Forest Carbon Asia is pleased to announce its latest brief on standards relevant for REDD+ and other forest carbon activities in Asia.
Scaling up standards beyond the Project level: Programmatic, Jurisdictional and Nested Approaches (Forest Carbon Asia Brief No. 6. Methods and Standards Updates)
The last two FCA Methods and Standards Briefs focused on project-level standards, both forest carbon standards and complementary socio-environmental standards. In response to the upcoming international REDD+ mechanism that calls for national level forest carbon accounting and implementation of numerous safeguards; programmatic, jurisdictional and nested standards and approaches are being developed. This brief provides a summary and update of these evolving programmatic and jurisdictional standards; as well as a continued update on developments under project-level standards.
