Abstract

There are many ideas presented in this document but here we highlight some of the major points. There is much still to be learned for implementing a forest offset program and what works for one market is likely to be emulated or adapted in other markets. Goldstein and Nayland (2015) note that “there are a few key compliance carbon-pricing policies to watch” and “California represents the most certain source of demand for forest carbon in the next few years.” Challenges that are met can be modified and improved in other markets and in new iterations of existing markets. A key objective is to maintain fungibility among markets and between emissions and offsets (Lee et al. 2013).
