UK Carbon Code of Conduct
The UK Carbon Code of Conduct (UKCCC) has been established by a group of people from farmers and project proponents to technology and finance experts. The UKCCC has been developed as a reaction to the consumers of Carbon Credits needing absolute assurance that the carbon offsets they buy are legitimate. This has been achieved by a set of standards backed by a robust measure, reporting and verification system.
The UKCCC has also reacted to the UK Climate Change Committee who urge people to take action to combat climate change. The UKCCC has been released for testing and consultation and all those involved with developing Carbon Sequestration projects are urged to offer feedback. The aim is to ‘Learn by doing’ and to adapt the code rapidly through the first few version cycles.
what3words
what3words divided the world into 3 metre squares and gave each square a unique combination of three words. It’s the easiest way to find and share exact locations.
We use what3words in a number of our processes including identifying land ownership, recording individual trees in agroforestry projects, and creating random soil sampling locations for soil carbon measurements.
