AS IN YEARS PAST, WE HAD A PRESENCE AT INFLUENTIAL CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCES IN THE US AND IN EUROPE INCLUDING SUSTAINABLE BRANDSSAN DIEGO, SUSAINABLE BRANDSLONDON, GREEN SPORTS ALLIANCE SUMMITCHICAGO, AND CARBON EXPO. IN ADDITION, A GRANT FROM THE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION ALLOWED CODE REDD TO HOST ITS OWN EVENTS, SUCH AS REDD TALKSSTOCKHOLM, AS WELL AS DEVELOP EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND RUN WORKSHOPS TO PROMOTE DIRECT PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT WITH REDD, MOVING REDD FROM THE PERIFPHERY TO THE CENER OF CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY DISCUSSIONS AND CONNECTING REDD TO SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS, NATURAL CAPITAL ACCOUNTING AND CARBON MANAGEMENT. LASTLY, CODE REDD HAD THE DISTINCT HONOR TO BE INVITED BY A NUMBER OF PRIVATE ENTITIES TO COLLABORATE ON INITIATIVES SURROUNDING OUR UNIQUE MISSION STATEMENT, WHICH INCLUDED SUPPORT FROM SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED ENTERPRISES FROM AROUND THE WORLD. 576797 1096435 CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT -STAND FOR TREES IN 2015, WE CONTINUED TO NURTURE A MORE PROACTIVE APPROACH TO MESSAGING REDD BY DEVELOPING OUR OWN DIRECT TO CONSUMER INITIATIVES TO STIMULATE MARKET DEMAND. FOR EXAMPLE, USING FUNDING FROM USAID/CHEMONICS AND A PORTION OF THE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION GRANT, CODE REDD PRODUCED THE VIDEO WITH PRINCE EA TITLED DEAR GENERATIONS SORRY WHICH HAD OVER 100 MILLION VIEWS BY THE END OF 2015. JUST PRIOR TO COP21, PRINCE EA RELEASED A SECOND VIDEO IN SUPPORT OF STAND FOR TREES ENTITLED, MAN VS EARTH WHICH ARTICULATES THE URGENT NEED FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NEGATIVE IMPACT HUMANS HAVE HAD ON THE PLANET IN THE SHORT TIME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ON EARTH. ADDITIONALLY, VIA ITS CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN STAND FOR TREES, WE ALLOWED USERS TO VOLUNTARILY SEND A LETTER TO GLOBAL LEADERS URGING CALIFORNIA POLICY MAKERS TO INCORPORATE REDD INTO A BINDING CLIMATE AGREEMENT IN PARIS. 148315 150000 34964 RESEARCH AND POLICY ALIGNMENT IN 2015, CODE REDD RESEARCH EFFORTS INCLUDED RESEARCH ON CORPORATE OFFSETTING STRATEGIES, CARBON MARKET PRICING INITIATIVES, AND CARBON MARKETIZATION AND SEGMENTATION OF THE VOLUNTARY MARKET.

CODE REDD PROVIDED THE CALIFORNIA AIR AND RESOURCES BOARD CARB WITH EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF SECTOR-BASED OFFSET CREDITS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA CAP-AND-TRADE PROGRAM, INCLUDING FROM JURISDICTIONAL REDD PROGRAMS. REDD INCLUSION IN CALIFORNIAS CAP AND TRADE SYSTEM IS AN IMPORTANT STEP FOR SCALING RELIABLE FINANCE FOR FOREST CONSERVATION AS A CRITICAL AND NECESSARY MITIGATION ACTIVITY. ADDITIONALLY, CODE REDD SUPPORTS THE INCLUSION OF REDD CREDITS VIA MONITORING, REPORTING, AND VERIFICATION MRV STANDARDS THAT ENSURE QUALITY OFFSETS ARE DELIVERED.
