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.
