The recent climate talks in Durban gave a major boost to developers and investors in projects that reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). In particular, it was agreed that private capital and market mechanisms will have a role to play in such projects. As a result, more countries will start to develop large-scale pilot projects. However, developing and investing in forest carbon offsets requires specialised expertise. This series of four webinars – produced in association with Terra Global Capital – will examine the key demand and supply drivers in this market and all the key technical aspects of developing and investing in REDD+.
