The Panda Standard

THE PANDA STANDARD

• The Panda Standard is a pilot voluntary standard designed specifically for China and the Chinese carbon marketplace.
• The Panda Standard was launched by CBEEX and BlueNext in September 2009. Winrock International and the China
  Forestry Exchange (CFEX) have joined the association as co-founders. Dozens of Chinese and international organisations
  are now committed to developing the standard in a way which respects best international practices and adapt to China’s
  specific circumstances.
• The Panda Standard focuses on agricultural and forestry carbon projects and aims to serve as a domestic tool to help China
  achieve its GHG reduction commitments while facilitating the transfer of wealth from rich eastern regions to western rural
  China.
• At the16th Conference of the Parties in Cancun in December 2010, BlueNext, the Agence Française de Développement
  (AFD) and CBEEX signed a Memorandum of Understanding to support a 15000 ha Bamboo plantation as the first pilot
  project for the Panda Standard.
