How can you assess additionality in forest carbon?


Two top questions sustainability leaders face about their offset choices are, “Will this action have real impact?” And, “would this action I’m investing in have happened anyway?” Those questions can be distilled into one: "Is this project additional?” 

To understand the climate impact of a landowner's choice to defer a harvest, we need to know what they would have harvested in the first place. In this webinar, you will learn what it takes to understand business-as-usual for every acre of forest in order to assess additionality and ensure quality in forest carbon projects.

Learn what it takes for a forest carbon credit to pass the first and most crucial test in quality carbon offsets: additionality.
