WCS seeks to establish the feasibility of REDD+, blue carbon, and other nature-based carbon projects in select landscapes where we work. In each case, WCS will commence pilot activities in a small portion of the landscape at the same time as it evaluates the potential for cost-effective generation of verified emissions reductions. The final product of this work will be to prepare the studies and documentation analyzing such potential. For specific locations where these feasibility studies have demonstrated viability, these projects will be fully developed into full project design documents and undergo validation against the appropriate methodologies of the Verified Carbon Standard, JNR or ART-TREES.
