Carbon Forestry Course at University of Freiburg in Feb./Mar. 2019 –
Scholarships available
The Chair of Silviculture of Freiburg University accepts now
applications for a 3-week Carbon Forestry Course, which takes place
between 18.02. and 08.03.2019.
This course is offered to students of our M.Sc. Programme “International
Forestry”, but we also accept a limited number of external participants,
such as forest carbon project developers, scientists with a research
interest in Carbon Forestry, employees of governmental institutions and
NGOs dealing with land use issues etc.
As in past years, the course will be conducted in close cooperation with
renowned partner organisations and land-use experts. It is designed for
participants that want to increase their competencies in the field of
land use-based climate change mitigation activities and to gain expert
knowledge about climate policy instruments at national and international
levels.
Due to its interdisciplinary perspective on practical aspects of project
implementation, participants considered the course to be highly useful
for their further careers.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Design carbon forestry projects and analyse land use project
documents
Determine emission reduction effects and the amount of carbon
credits generated by the activities
Apply safeguards to reduce social and environmental risks in such
projects
Develop approaches to maximize additional ecological and
socioeconomic benefits
Critically evaluate climate change policies
Design financing mechanisms for Carbon Forestry projects
With the support of the German Federal Ministry of Food and
Agriculture, a limited number of scholarships are available for selected
participants that cover parts of the course fees, accommodation costs
and living expenses.
Application forms for the course and scholarships are available at
