Common use of Carbon Sequestration Clause in Contracts

Carbon Sequestration. The mega-fire phenomenon has turned California’s forests into carbon emitters rather than carbon sinks. Well-managed forests provide a significant source of stable carbon storage. The Parties will manage for carbon sequestration by thinning dense stands and undergrowth and promoting growth of large trees, which provide hundreds of years of carbon storage. The Parties will work with experts like the California Air Resources Board to establish forest-specific carbon accounting techniques to incentivize stable carbon storage.
