This webinar will help participants understand emerging voluntary and regulatory carbon markets and how these markets can be leveraged to benefit NRCS land conservation activities.
Voluntary private land conservation activities can be leveraged by agricultural producers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance soil health, and capitalize on emerging carbon credit revenue opportunities. In this webinar, attendees will be provided with a brief scientific refresher of global climate change and the role that greenhouse gases play in our planet’s climate system. The webinar will also cover the basic concepts of ecosystem services and environmental markets; emerging environmental markets are assigning an economic value to tradable environmental commodities such as greenhouse gases. California’s greenhouse gas regulations and the associated cap and trade program will serve as an example of environmental markets being integrated into greenhouse gas reduction regulations. The webinar will conclude with an overview of NRCS conservation activities that dovetail very nicely with greenhouse gas reduction measures and carbon sequestration opportunities.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS National Air Quality and Atmospheric Change Team located at the West National Technology Support Center.
