Blue Carbon Academy - Module 2: Feasibility Assessment & Planning (PIN)

Deciding to invest in a carbon project is a significant decision that involves important financial investments and can entail a commitment of up to 100 years. This is why the feasibility assessment is important. It answers the questions: is a project feasible and likely to succeed, and does it comply with carbon standards requirements? If the answer is yes and your relevant stakeholders are supportive, then you will find here all the practical tools to submit the PIN.

Blue Carbon Academy - Module 3: Development & Design (PDD)


After establishing the project feasibility and having the PIN approved, project proponents are ready to develop a Project Design Document (PDD). This document is the result of a thorough and comprehensive process that is crucial for the success of a Blue Carbon project. This module addresses all the key aspects of this process, including designing best-practice restoration and conservation activities, engaging local communities, implementing science-based carbon accounting, and ensuring financial success.
