Reputational risk primer: Carbon markets

This guidance was produced as part of an Advancing Restoration Knowledge grant on Voluntary Carbon Markets carried out by UNEP-WCMC, Fauna & Flora and the RSPB. One barrier to landscape restoration projects engaging with voluntary carbon markets is the potential reputational risk associated with selling carbon credits. This primer is intended to increase awareness of some of the major risks that can be associated with engaging in voluntary carbon markets for restoration practitioners.
