Strong Support for CARB Endorsing the Draft California Tropical
Forest Standard

Public comment from Earth Innovation Institute

The Earth Innovation Institute strongly supports the California Air
Resources Board endorsing the draft California Tropical Forest
Standard as a step toward integrating international jurisdictional
sector-based offsets for reducing emissions from deforestation and
forest degradation into the California cap-and-trade program. 

In the attached letter of support, we: 

i) describe the importance of the Standard in the larger context of
solving climate change; and 

ii) offer specific points of feedback on elements of the draft
Standard with the goal of approving the strongest possible final
Standard.
