The Government of British Columbia is developing a Forest Carbon Offset Protocol (FCOP) over the coming months that will guide the design, development, quantification and verification of B.C forest carbon offsets from a broad range of forest activities on private and public land in B.C. Forest carbon is an increasingly significant component of climate action, and the protocol will ensure that forest carbon offsets developed in B.C. meet domestic and international quality standards. Given the importance of the forested land base in the province, this project is a key element in sustaining B.C.’s reputation as a leader in climate action in North America.
