Public Consultation

Through the Public Consultation process, we invite stakeholders from around the world to actively contribute to the development and continuous improvement of documents and projects under our GHG, Biodiversity, and Water programs.

This page serves as a central hub where you can explore all documents and projects currently open for public consultation. Each consultation period remains open for a minimum of 30 calendar days from the date of publication. During this time, we welcome comments, suggestions, and observations from all interested parties.

Public consultation is essential to:

  • Ensure open and transparent interaction between BioCarbon and stakeholders;
  • Apply the guiding principles of our programs, including responsibility, quality, and integrity;
  • Uphold the right of individuals and organizations to influence decisions in a free, individual, and collective manner.

We encourage participation from a broad range of stakeholders, including:

  • Project developers, validation and verification bodies, and actors in national and international carbon, biodiversity, and water markets;
  • Relevant industry and sectoral stakeholders affected by the document in question;
  • Governmental and regulatory entities.
