  • Summary
The “Kyoto: Think global Act Local” initiative is an international project. It was set up to assess the potential for communities such as those in the state of Uttarakhand, India, to benefit from carbon trading. Members of village forest councils were trained to measure how much carbon their forests store per year. They are now looking for more “buyers” for their carbon, while continuing to manage their forests sustainably.
