The Choice: The Guatemala Reforestation Project

The document outlines a proposal by AES Corporation, advised by the World Resources Institute (WRI), to implement a reforestation project in a tropical developing country. The project was designed to offset carbon dioxide emissions contributing to greenhouse gas buildup and global climate change, with the goal of maintaining AES's position as a low-cost supplier of clean coal-fired power while providing positive social implications.

• AES Corporation considered funding a reforestation project in a tropical developing country to offset carbon dioxide emissions linked to global climate change, arguing the project was technically feasible and would cost less than 1% of the capital costs of Thames.
• The World Resources Institute (WRI) was asked by AES to advise on the implementation of the tree-planting program, leading WRI to convene a panel of development experts and foresters over six months to analyze proposals.
