What is missing in the current context, experiences and opportunities for the agroforestry sector
On Monday, July 24, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., in the Ceibo B Room of the 2023 Livestock Expo, the National Forest Carbon Table will give a talk on the Carbon Markets in Argentina. The first block of the meeting will have Juan Pedro Cano, coordinator of the National Forest Carbon Board as the main speaker, who will speak on "Carbon markets at the international and national level: context and opportunities", followed by experts who will share "What It is already happening: The experience and projection in Argentina”.
Speakers of the stature of Sebastián Fragni from GMF Latinoamericana, José Otarán, from UNITAN, Tomás Arata from GBM / Nideport and Jan Heinrich from Ecosecurities will participate in a panel on experiences and projection, closing the day with a talk by the lawyer specializing in environmental law and climate change Manuel Frávega, partner of the Beccar Varela Law Firm, who will provide a description of the “Legal and institutional framework in Argentina”.
