A certification or project document can explain how a reforestation project is designed. But how can buyers determine whether it is being implemented effectively and whether it can continue delivering over time?
For companies purchasing carbon credits, project quality depends on more than the number of trees planted. Fire, extreme weather, pests, plantation performance, community engagement and long-term forest management can all affect permanence, credit delivery and the impact a company ultimately supports – a growing concern as more buyers commit to forward offtake agreements years ahead of delivery.
In this webinar, experts from FORLIANCE and InverBosques will take participants inside the Vichada reforestation project in Colombia. Using concrete examples from implementation, biodiversity monitoring and risk management, they will connect what happens on the ground with the questions corporate buyers should ask before selecting a project.
After this session, you will be better equipped to:
-
Identify the operational risks that can affect permanence and credit delivery
-
Leave with a due-diligence question checklist for reforestation projects
-
Understand how independent rating agencies assess projects like this, and what that means for your own procurement decisions.
-
Recognise what credible risk management looks like in practice
-
Assess whether biodiversity and social benefits are supported by concrete evidence
-
Compare reforestation projects beyond certification, price and headline claims
The session combines InverBosques’ direct implementation experience with FORLIANCE’s corporate carbon-market perspective and concludes with a live Q&A.
