We are pleased to announce that Clara Guttman Belling, Investment Director at Cresco Capital Services, has been appointed to the UK Woodland Carbon Code Advisory Board, where she will represent and contribute with investors’ perspectives.
The UK Woodland Carbon Code is a recognised quality assurance standard for woodland carbon projects in the UK. Launched by the UK Forestry Commission in 2011, it has since served as an important point of reference for the development of voluntary carbon standards across Europe.
“We are proud to see Clara take on this important role. Her appointment reflects Cresco’s dedication to bridging the gap between investors and impactful forest investments, and to shaping standards that ensure integrity and value in the voluntary carbon market. Private investments are crucial to accelerating the green transition – and a voluntary carbon market with high credibility will be a key catalyst for attracting capital to climate-positive projects” CEO, Carsten With Thygesen.
We look forward to contributing to the ongoing development of the UK Woodland Carbon Code and to continuing to connect investors and afforestation projects in both the UK and the rest of Europe.
Our portfolio of afforestation projects in Europe is growing, and we welcome new partnerships and investors. Please do get in touch to discuss how we can work together to develop afforestation projects with climate impact.
