About:
The highly successful inaugural Forest Carbon Summit was held in April 2025 – a 2-day event designed to equip forest carbon practitioners, forest managers and a diverse range of stakeholders with the knowledge and tools needed to successfully navigate the forest carbon landscape. The event provided attendees with an improved understanding of the demand for forest carbon, ethics in the carbon market, and the technical and administrative requirements of forest carbon projects.

Attendees had access to a broad program, delving into critical themes such as the intersection of carbon and natural capital markets, complexities in existing and emerging forest carbon accounting methods, and opportunities in off-market carbon accounting. The program sessions also explored essential topics like forest carbon and investment; ethics & risk; agroforestry, agriculture and environmental plantings; local and international best practice, and; future legislation and reporting requirements. Breakout session opportunities included ‘Carbon 101’ for newcomers, and ‘Plantation project development and the role of the RFP’, essential for Registered Forestry Professionals.

With attendees reporting strong levels of satisfaction in the overall event and program, Forestry Australia is delighted that delegates had the chance to enhance their understanding of this important space, to drive integrity in forest carbon practices.
