Carbon Forestry Course at Freiburg University // 15 October 2024
With respect to climate change mitigation, the sequestration of carbon by forests and soils is one of the most important ecosystem services of terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore, large efforts have been undertaken and major political initiatives started to increase the carbon storage capacity of forests and their products. Competencies and human resources to develop projects for land-use based mitigation and knowledge of related climate policy instruments at local, national and international levels are critically needed for successful projects and policies to increase the carbon stocks in forests and forest-related landscapes. In this course participants will learn to develop and evaluate such greenhouse mitigation initiatives among other things related to recent developments in international climate change policy. A limited number of scholarships will become available in 2025 for selected participants (for eligible candidates from developing countries) that covers a 50% reduction of the course fees, accommodation costs and daily subsistence allowance during the 8-10 days stay in Freiburg.Date: 24 February - 14 March 2025
