SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR INSURING FOREST-RELATED CARBON CREDITS

摘要

In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, a method is provided for insuring forest-related carbon credits against reversals. The insurance term may be for periods far longer than those for which insurance products known prior to the present invention have been offered, and also to provide replacement coverage far more expansive than that which existing products have been offered. The insurance products bring with them regulatory oversight and other advantages not provided by non-insurance methods. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure include transferring to the insurer the rights to additional forest-related carbon credits that may be issued after policy inception based on the forest assets that are the subject of the originally insured carbon credits. Further embodiments may include transferring to the insurer some or all of the rights to manage the forest asset's carbon reduction effects.
