The First 30×30 Program, led by Nature For Justice in partnership with IISAAK OLAM Foundation and Nature Focus Development, has collaborated with the RAD Network to develop a resource on Atmospheric Benefit Agreements (ABAs) within British Columbia’s carbon governance framework. This resource explains how ABAs are used to define the allocation of carbon offset credits for projects on Crown-classified public lands, and how they support clarity, revenue generation, and market confidence in carbon projects. Grounded in the recognition of Indigenous rights and ongoing jurisdictional considerations, this resource is designed to support informed, strategic, and self-determined decision-making for Indigenous governments and partners navigating carbon opportunities.

The First 30×30 Program, led by Nature For Justice in partnership with IISAAK OLAM Foundation and Nature Focus Development, has collaborated with the RAD Network to offer a resource highlighting British Columbia’s Forest Carbon Offset Protocol (FCOP), outlining how forest-based carbon projects are developed, measured, and verified within the province’s regulatory system. This resource explains how carbon offsets function as a tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions while supporting conservation and ecosystem stewardship. Grounded in the recognition of Indigenous rights and ongoing questions of jurisdiction, this overview is designed to support informed, strategic, and self-determined decision-making for Indigenous governments and partners exploring carbon opportunities.
