The three-year project will examine: the potential for carbon offset programmes to contribute to poverty alleviation and mangrove conservation; the carbon sequestration potential of small mangrove forests; the capacity for offset payments to communities to meet basic education and health needs; and the relationship between small projects in the voluntary market and programmes under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
