Abstract
Summary
Description
In this episode we dive into ecosystem services and give room for a basic introduction. What is it? What is FSC doing on it? How does it connect to nature based solutions? And how does what FSC is doing connect to what the rest of the world is doing?
Product to protect ecosystem services comes in many shapes and forms. The most known one is probably carbon credits, but the group also include biodiversity protection, water management, and a range of other solutions.
To help me learn much more about Ecosystem services and how they play a role in the FSC system, I’ve asked Asger Olesen to join me online. Asger recently joined FSC as our new Chief Climate and Ecosystem Services officer and comes with a background of being part of international carbon and climate negotiations and solutions development for years. So who better to ask?
