Dear colleagues,
The University of California San Diego and World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
are pleased to announce the launch of a new international certificate
program in Advanced Terrestrial Carbon Accounting.
This unique program will train professionals from around the world on
how to measure forest carbon. By using the latest scientific tools
and methods to measure forest carbon, participants will be able to
provide rigorous estimates of how conserving tropical forests avoids
greenhouse gas emissions. In turn, the new certificate course will
help participants advance major global initiatives such as Reducing
Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+).
The certificate course will be held August of 2013 on the UC San
Diego campus in southern California. Limited spots are available.
Scholarships will be awarded to select individuals. Application
information can be found at
