The First 30×30 Program, led by Nature For Justice in collaboration with IISAAK OLAM Foundation, Nature Focus Development, and the RAD Network, offers a resource on Atmospheric Benefit Agreements (ABAs) within British Columbia’s carbon governance framework. It 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.
