WOCAN (Women Organizing for Change in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management), a Bangkok-based women’s development group launched a carbon project that specifically addresses women development in San Francisco on Wednesday 17 April 2013. The Women’s Carbon Standard aims to direct the profits from carbon offset sales back to the women’s community where the offset is originally based. This will increase benefits for women in terms of income, health, food, education and leadership. The Women’s Carbon Standard has already been tested in Western Kenya at an agroforestry project and will soon commence through three projects in Laos (an improved cookstove project), Cambodia (biodigester) and Vietnam (waste treatment).
