What role do local stakeholders play in carbon offset projects?

Local stakeholders play a vital role in the success of carbon offset projects through their involvement in project design, implementation, and monitoring. Stakeholders, including local communities, governments, NGOs, and businesses, provide valuable insights, ensure community engagement, and help balance the interests of different parties. They also help navigate the local regulatory landscape. 


Engaging with local stakeholders ensures that carbon offset projects align with local needs, respect land rights, promote social and environmental co-benefits, and create a sense of ownership. Moreover, collaboration with governments and the market helps project developers track progress and gain strategic insights, leading to successful and impactful carbon offset initiatives. DGB engages extensively with local governments and stakeholders to ensure that our projects meet regulatory requirements and local needs and achieve the desired outcomes.
