Project Catalyst has, through its Working Group on Forestry, which met in the second half of 2008 and early 2009, conducted analysis on what is required to capture the vast mitigation opportunity available in the forestry sector.
Since the Working Group meetings (which ended in March 2009), Project Catalyst has also been working with specific countries on forestry issues and low carbon growth planning.
