Afforestation/Reforestation – A Key Factor for the Success of REDD

CarbonFix e.V.

Location: 324, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius

It’s a world of supply and demand. If existing forests shall be protected it must be envisaged that the demand for timber is met with wood from sustainably managed forests. A/R in CDM failed and it is not repairable. It is up to the voluntary carbon market to create incentives for planting new forests. While FSC and CCBA ensure the sustainability aspects of forests, the CarbonFix Standard shows major success in combining quality criteria with a practical application.

This side event shows how the key for the success of A/R projects look which provides the basis for conserving existing forests.

Organiser: Pieter van Midwoud, CarbonFix
Moderator: Kai Windhorst, Independent consultant
