From YouTube: Colombia/Latam Acting on Offsetting Carbon Emissions - Ester Fonseca Silva - Selva (Track 2)

Description

Bringing info on “Offsetting carbon emissions” in Colombia and Latam countries. Reduction of emissions from deforestation and degradation. When, how and why to mitigate and reduce greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere. Also commenting on region-real problems, for example, one of the cases in which these emissions occur is when it is that a tree burns - but in Colombia, many communities have as their only source of income in this activity, which, in addition to deforestation, leads to the degradation of ecosystems.

How this contributes to local communities: Additional revenue from carbon credits closer to the ground could uplift the communities the projects originate from, hitting more than just the E (Environmental) in ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and how their involvement through transparency hits the G (Governance)

Talk about regulations right now: Colombia is one of the countries that has advanced the most in its regulations of carbon markets, in the development of climate mitigation projects and has a mandatory market created in addition to the voluntary market.
