Carbon Stewardship Workshop Video #8: Blue & green carbon projects in the Salish Sea – Learn from New Zealand

On March 17th 2021, Transition Salt Spring and Raincoast Conservation Foundation hosted the Green and Blue Carbon Stewardship Workshop. This is the eighth of the series of videos from that workshop.

Malcolm Penn is a Spatial Analyst with the Ministry of Primary Industries in New Zealand (NZ) with a focus on the country’s Emissions Trading Scheme. This session provides an international carbon project example, and though not be completely applicable to the context of the Salish Sea (e.g. most land eligible for carbon projects is agricultural), there are important lessons to be learned from the Emissions Trading Scheme, which has been successfully operating since 2008.
