PRotecting Community Rights and Interests in Carbon Projects

SDSG has partnered with Rainforest Foundation UK to create a series of documents that are designed to help landholders and communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and beyond understand and protect their rights when getting involved in carbon projects associated with the Voluntary Carbon Market. These documents can be used to assist landholders, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and NGOs with anything from understanding basic rights and obligations to navigating negotiation stages; it even provides guidance on formatting an equitable and fair benefit sharing agreement.
