Description

A conservation offset is a tool that enables industry to offset adverse effects of their activities and development by supporting conservation efforts on other lands. In 2009 the Government of Alberta commissioned a study to conduct an analysis of conservation offset options for Alberta. The objective of the study was to evaluate a suite of design options in terms of their ecological and economic impacts and their institutional feasibility. The purpose of the analysis is to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of different offset design options on policy goals, and demonstrate through a proof of concept how different policy options could work in a scaled-up regulated offset market.

Description

The Land-use Framework is a cross-ministerial initiative which will set forth an approach to manage Alberta's public and private lands and resources thereby guiding the government in achieving Alberta's long-term social, economic and environmental goals. To aid in the development of the framework, a workbook instrument was distributed to provide all Albertans with the opportunity to provide their views and perceptions on land-use management in Alberta. This summary report encapsulates the findings derived from the Workbook submissions.
