From Measurement to Markets: Forest Carbon Learning Series for Mongolia

As part of the Mongolia Green Resilient Landscapes Technical Assistance Project, jointly implemented by AFoCO in collaboration with the World Bank and key technical partners, a series of training and knowledge exchange activities were conducted to strengthen Mongolia’s capacity in forest carbon accounting and carbon finance. Building on these events, we are pleased to share the presentation and related reference materials, which capture the key concepts, methodologies, and outcomes of the program.
