To Researchers, Practitioners, and Policy Makers,
Compliance and voluntary carbon markets are growing worldwide together with supply and demand for emissions reductions credits from protecting, restoring, and managing forests, as well as from other natural climate solutions.
Yet, there are many market design, governance, and implementation issues relating to approaches for incorporating forest carbon credits as a policy tool with high environmental integrity that contributes to driving down greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing broad climate mitigation ambition, and fostering inclusive and sustainable economic development.
To shed light on some of the benefits and challenges of using forest carbon credits in carbon markets and how to scale up environmental and social impacts, we have opened two calls for papers in special issues of the journal Frontiers in Forests and Global Change (Forest Management):
The first research topic focuses on the broader question of when and how should forest carbon credits be used in voluntary and compliance carbon markets, while the second deals with the market design and implementation challenges.
1. Forest Carbon Credits as a Nature-Based Solution to Climate Change?
2. Implementing Forest Carbon Credits as a Nature-Based Climate Change Solution: Scaling Up for Impact
Please submit full manuscripts by 30 April 2022 for both special issues.
