The forest carbon offsetting report 2010

A new analysis of perceptions and opinions of offset buyers towards forestry as an option for corporate offsetting. It finds that there has been less interest in forest carbon offsets from India and China despite the large potential for afforestation and reforestation activities in these countries.

A great deal happened in the climate change policy arena in 2009. There were significant developments at an international
level with the push to achieve a new global deal at the Copenhagen Conference of Parties (COP15) as well as advances towards the implementation of regional cap-and-trade
schemes in countries such as the United States, New Zealand and Australia. Forestry is increasingly moving towards the centre of
these developments. This report therefore analyses the perceptions and opinions of offset buyers towards forestry as an option for corporate offsetting in a dynamic period of policy development.
