GuateCarbón
GuateCarbón is a project co-organized by both a civil society council and a State council, for which the objective is the strengthening of the concessionary model (a model of community forestry development) through activities that reduce deforestation of the Maya Biosphere. Over a time period of 28 years, it is expected to reduce 55 million tons of CO2e (equivalent) in the region. In order to carry out the project, a Free, Informed and Prior Consultation Process (Span. CLIP) was carried out to request the endorsement and participation of the communities living in the Biosphere. The project is based on three components: territory, community and monitoring. The territory component is responsible for local governance and law enforcement, while the community component is dedicated to improving the quality of life of people living in concessions, and the monitoring component manages the project and assesses its impact.
