Katoomba Group

The Katoomba Group is an international working group composed of leading experts from forest and energy industries, research institutions, the financial world, and environmental NGOs dedicated to advancing markets for some of the ecosystem services provided by forests – such as watershed protection, biodiversity habitat, and carbon storage. The Katoomba Group seeks to address key challenges related to developing markets for ecosystem services, which range from enabling legislation to establishing new market institutions, to developing strategies for pricing and marketing, and monitoring performance.
