Subject: Comments on the Initial Draft Report of the AB 398 Compliance Offsets Protocol Task Force
Comment:
1) Each member of the Stakeholder Group should declare any conflict of interest, such as involvement in, or recipient of revenue generation from the CARB protocols, project development, project ownership, or employment by CARB. No such disclosure is identified in the COMPLIANCE OFFSETS PROTOCOL TASK FORCE INITIAL DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS, October 7, 2020. Declaring conflicts of interest is a standard disclosure for committees that have the means to modify protocols that affect carbon market participants and commerce. 2) Forest carbon sequestration and storage is an active area of research with the potential to improve current CARB forest carbon protocols. The Task Force should provide a mechanism for collaboration with the forest carbon research community, including comparative studies of CARB protocols with direct measurement of CO2 in the forest, a widely employed method.
