Land and property partner, Don Macleod, said: “Over the last couple of years we have been advising some of the major participants in the UK forestry and peatland carbon markets, and it seems to us that the evolution of the market is now at a relatively critical juncture.

“Whilst some say that the market is still in its infancy, and the risks are difficult to quantify, in actual fact the UK Woodland Carbon Code has been in circulation for more than a decade. Norms are beginning to develop in carbon contracts in relation to the allocation of liabilities and risks amongst the landowner, the end user and the organisation that has brokered the sale.”

The seminars will cover topics including: whether the UK carbon standards are fit for purpose; the evolution of the market in its first decade and where the market is heading; and how a commercial market sits with climate change and community drivers.

The seminars are open to all – for further details please click here.
