Conference June 9 – June 13, 2008

This discussion forum will focus on discussing CARBONplus accounting tool in
the context of the compliance markets.
Background Material:
It is recommended that contributors have an understanding of the CARBONplus project and of the compliance carbon markets.

An overview of the CARBONplus project can be found in the CARBONplus Overview presentation, with more details on the externalities accounting in the CARBONplus Accounting presentation.
For those who are not aware of the carbon markets, we invite you to go through the Compliance driven Carbon Markets presentation that will provide a brief background.
We invite you to reflect upon the following questions included in the following posts.

Please see below.

One of the flaws with the regulated markets is that they fail to significantly contribute to sustainable development of poor populations in developing countries. Do you think the CARBONplus accounting system can be used for evaluating sustainability issues related to CDM projects?

Taking into account that CARBONplus accounting system is designed to be used on community based micro-scale projects that produce other co-benefits besides GHG mitigation. Do you think CARBONplus accounting tool can help micro-scale projects to achieve higher prices in the market therefore overcoming the prohibitive CDM transaction costs?
