Coastal Blue Carbon: Methods for assessing carbon stocks

The webinar will provide a deep dive into carbon mapping for land protection and provide opportunities to engage with peers to discuss best practices for optimizing carbon through easement protections and management.

This pointer provides risk evaluation considerations for carbon projects that will vary depending on the land trust’s role in the carbon project.

This pointer addresses how nature-based carbon credits work and the public perception concerns that have arisen from the carbon market.

A Land Trust Alliance pilot program opens the door to carbon financing for two land trusts in Maine.

Pacific Forest Trust is an early pioneer of techniques and standards used to create forest carbon projects—also known as emissions reductions or offset projects—which harness and protect the natural ability of forests to accumulate and hold carbon, acting as carbon “sinks” and providing essential climate benefits.

Carbon storage by ecosystems is valuable for climate protection. This study assesses how combining carbon storage with other ecosystem services affected by biodiversity may well enhance the economic arguments for conservation even further.

Open Space Institute developed this guide to help groups that protect and steward land determine how much carbon a forest stores today, and how much additional carbon could be sequestered by 2050.

As climate change impacts intensify around the world, nature-based carbon sequestration and storage are essential tools to addressing the climate crisis. The question remains where to focus conservation in order to maximize climate benefits. The Conservation Carbon Map can help answer that and more.

This publication offers practical guidance to land trust practitioners on drafting conservation easements to allow the development of carbon offset projects.

"Building Carbon in America's Farms, Forests, and Grasslands: Foundations for a Policy Roadmap" offers new analysis to support long-term planning to enhance U.S. land management of carbon sinks to ensure healthy and productive landscapes contribute to greenhouse gas reduction goals.
