Green Carbon Guidebook

Through its Green Carbon Initiative, WWF is deeply involved in the process of developing a credible and comprehensive standard system for forest carbon projects. We are engaged in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiating process
to help ensure a credible and ambitious post-2012
global climate deal. We are discussing the methodological and technical issues with specialists and key carbon market players to ensure that the guidance we provide is relevant to their needs. Finally, we are working closely with the most important existing standard systems that effectively address some of the key components of a comprehensive carbon standard system.

In this guidebook, we set out what an appropriate meta-standard framework (MSF) must encompass in terms of both technical and methodological elements and implementation procedures to guide project developers and investors.
