The World Bank has mobilized a new fund to demonstrate projects that sequester or conserve carbon in forest and agro-ecosystems. The Fund, a public/private initiative administered by the World Bank, aims to deliver cost-effective emission reductions, while promoting biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation. The Fund started operations in May 2004 and has a total capital of $53.8 million.

NOTICE: Tranche One of the BioCarbon Fund is closed to further participation. Tranche Two is now opened to contributions. Private or public sector entities interested in participating in the BioCarbon Fund should contact Benoit Bosquet (bbosquet@worldbank.org). The project portfolio of Tranche One is now identified and no new project proposals will be received. However, the present announcement serves as a call for projects for Tranche Two. Proponents interested in submitting a LULUCF project proposal to the BioCarbon Fund should submit a Project Idea Note via the website. The BioCarbon Fund's capacity to respond is conditioned upon susccessful capitalization of Tranche Two. Please also note that priority will be given to projects from the World Bank's project portfolio or that fit in the World Bank's country dialogue and have demonstration value and replication potential.
