During his recent trip to Cambodia, Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh spoke with Charles Bedford, chief impact officer at Carbon Growth Partners about the characteristics of a good carbon project and what buyers should look for in REDD+ forest projects. They discuss the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration with active engagement and ownership from all parties, particularly from local communities, to deliver success.
