Until recently, quantification methodologies and bamboo-specific examples in climate change mitigation were limited. To harness the untapped potential of bamboo for mitigation, INBAR and partners have made significant progress in developing methodologies for bamboo carbon accounting in an afforestation projects. In this publication, INBAR builds on previous work by introducing some of the latest developments in bamboo carbon accounting methodology and climate change mitigation, and outlines INBAR’s future plans to continue to enhance bamboo’s role in the generation of carbon credits.
