The World Wildlife Fund has selected MSU to partner in a $5 million, 18-month project to develop systems to measure, monitor and manage carbon in landscapes worldwide. “What they need is a tool to assess their carbon and climate impact, both positive and negative,” explained David Skole, a professor of global change science in the MSU Department of Forestry. “
The Carbon Benefits Project is funded by the Global Environment Facility, which joins 178 nations with international agencies, institutions and the private sector to fund sustainable development initiatives in developing and transitioning countries. The project is administered for the independent GEF and the United Nations Environment Programme by the World Wildlife Fund.
