Forests are one of the most traditional and representative carbon sinks, they can enhance the efficiency of domestic forest resources as a means of achieving the Nationally Determined Contributions(NDC), while at the same time stabilizing the benefits which are derived from them in a virtuous cycle model in order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to make efforts to improve the voluntary carbon offset business model of the domestic forest sector, which is currently in the non-obligation reduction sector, by comparing it with advanced overseas models. In this study, we compared the business model of the US market, which successfully carries out the voluntary carbon offset program of the forest sector such as VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) and CAR (Climate Action Reserve). By doing so, we suggested probable solutions for our system.
