Q&A: The anatomy of a fair carbon deal

From the newsletter

What does a fair deal look like for communities in nature-based carbon projects? For 15 years, Carbon Tanzania has been attempting to answer that question by putting revenue directly into the hands of the people who protect their forests. In this dialogue, two of Carbon Tanzania’s Project Managers discuss the nuances of this revenue-sharing model.

• Isack Bryson shares insights from his community in the Yaeda-Eyasi Landscape where hunter-gatherer and pastoralist communities jointly protect the forest, while Hosea Elia Kiyogoma discusses the community-led nature of forest protection in the Ntakata Mountains.

• They reveal how their model of giving 61% of revenue to local communities has worked and how this unified approach to revenue sharing adapts to the uniqueness of the people in very different landscapes.
