Ministry of Forestry Strengthens Integrity of Forestry Sector Carbon Credits

Tuti said this activity was an implementation of the memorandum of understanding signed by the Ministry of Forestry and ICVCM in November 2025.

The collaboration focuses on capacity building, stakeholder awareness and the development of collaborative activities to support voluntary carbon markets with high integrity.

Participants receive material regarding the Core Carbon Principles, including carbon calculation methodology, measurement, reporting, verification, risk management, as well as principles for ensuring the quality of carbon credits.

These standards are needed so that emission reductions or absorption can be measured, verified and not calculated more than once.

The Ministry of Forestry assesses that the forestry sector and other land uses have a strategic position in mitigating climate change. The carbon market is expected to become a source of financing for forest management while providing benefits to the community.

The workshop in Balikpapan is the first activity in a series of carbon market capacity increases planned by the government.

This news was prepared based on the Ministry of Forestry's Press Release Number SP.480/HKLN/09/2026.
