PA DCNR Carbon Management Project

In the summer of 2006, the PA DCNR convened a stakeholder process led by PEC and the Center for Climate Strategies to develop a carbon management plan for the DCNR.  The Plan includes recommended policy options regarding terrestrial and geologic carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas registry design and landscape conservation. 

In anticipation of state, regional, national or international climate change regulation and the development of carbon offset markets.  The PA DCNR wishes to explore how it can participate, as an agency, in a carbon constrained world and advance its mission of stewardship and conservation of public lands and maximize geologic and terrestrial carbon sequestration.  The project is funded by the DCNR and was launched in the summer of 2006 and is scheduled to conclude in January 2008.  PEC worked with multiple partners and stakeholders in developing the plan.
