Forests, agriculture and soil carbon have historically been outside of
regulated carbon markets, although always critical to voluntary markets
Front and center now with development of the US and post-Copenhagen
Forestry carbon already a part of leading pre-compliance US market: CA
Recognition that forestry, soil and agricultural carbon make up 25-30% of global
GHG problem; REDD being one of the few successes of Copenhagen
Ag states and interests have a powerful voice - used it to influence the Waxman-

In Short...
Three key trends in carbon:
US building a $90b+ carbon market
from scratch

Strong interest in “Green Carbon”
Other ecosystems pricing need
similar regulatory drivers
Long-term: pricing of
ecosystems and their services
will create more mega-markets
