Carbon Stewardship Workshop Video #1: Carbon 101

Featuring Dirk Brinkman & Briony Penn with workshop opening blessing by W̱IĆKINEM (Erik Pelkey), Hereditary Chief of Tsawout.

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

Otherwise known as “carbon projects for beginners” this webinar unpacks the complexities of implementing blue/green carbon projects in a simplified way. Drawing from a combined 30+ years of experience developing BC-based climate projects, Dirk Brinkman and Briony Penn highlight the importance of establishing co-managed projects and provide definitions of key terms like leakage and additionality. Featuring hand-drawn art and other explanatory diagrams to aid in the learning experience, this session is the ideal starting point for those seeking to improve their understanding of nature-based carbon projects.
