Carbon markets can provide much-needed finance for protecting forests, scaling up agroforestry, and benefiting the local communities. Indigenous Peoples and local community organizations advocate for fair and transparent benefit sharing and effective and inclusive participation in carbon projects, where revenues and benefits flow directly to indigenous peoples and communities with the power and capacity to use these revenues for their development objectives and priorities.
