A one-day Forum aimed at clarifying some issues regarding ‘carbon’, carbon cycling, stocks and flows, and carbon equivalence (for example in greenhouse gas, soil organic matter or trees) that have led to confusion and lack of buy-in by the public and primary industries to the intentions of an emission trading scheme (ETS).
The goal of the carbon day will be to build on the basis of better public understanding of the carbon cycle (and carbon equivalence) to identify how New Zealand can advocate a strategy to manage ‘carbon’, to assist in sectors’ decision-making around the effective management of carbon and all its implications to encourage NZ industry and public to ensure that resources are used more efficiently.
FREE and open to the public
