The Terrestrial Carbon Group, 2008This paper argues that terrestrial carbon (including trees, soil, and peat) can be used to provide up to 25% of the climate change solution. The document focuses on the role and use of terrestrial carbon and provides guiding principles for terrestrial carbon to be effectively included in the international response to climate change, which would support:DocumentEmissions trading, carbon financing and indigenous peoples
Institute of Advanced Studies. United Nations University,, 2008Greenhouse gas abatement activities can have both beneficial and detrimental impacts on the communities in which they operate. For this reason, it is vital that Indigenous communities have accurate information about carbon financing and carbon market processes at the outset – to help them make informed decisions and choices about activities that work for them.
