  • Features of carbon certification, including the steps and formula used to calculate carbon potentials
  • Market mechanisms for addressing climate-related and environmental challenges
  • Models of carbon intervention possible for the USAID ERAS-I Oasis Project
    • Carbon model for forest plantation in desert and semi-desert regions;
    • Soil restoration model for pastures and abandoned drylands;
    • Carbon certification of regenerative (restorative) agriculture, methods for increasing carbon sequestration in farmers' fields.
