Technical Workshop Announcement
Capacity Building for Forest Carbon Projects in the Ukrainian Carpathians
May 28-29, 2012
Uzhgorod, Ukraine
We are pleased to announce a technical workshop devoted to capacity building for forest carbon projects in the Carpathian Mountain region of western Ukraine, to be held May 28-29 in Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
The workshop will introduce technical experts to in-country project partners and institutional representatives. Participants will work closely together over two days, assembling information and resources that will lay the ground work for future forest carbon projects.
Our goal is to build capacity that will help project developers create "improved forest management" projects capable of generating marketable offset credits. To do this we will conduct a series of brainstorming and information sharing sessions, focusing on critical opportunities and challenges specific to this region. Outcomes will include: 1) establishment of a regional network of experts, 2) technical publications summarizing findings, and 3) creation of on-going partnerships.
