Experiences from implementing and financing forest carbon projects that reduce deforestation and degradation and enhance carbon stocks using the Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standards provide some practical principles to enhance private sector finance and social and environmental benefits. These are important factors for the design of effective forest carbon programs and policies at national scale.
