Background: The rules of CDM afforestation/reforestation (CDM AR) projects, set at COP9 (Milan, 2003), say that ecological and socio-economic sustainability must be a key feature of any CDM AR project and that negative impacts on biodiversity and socio-economic should be identified, avoided and remediated throughout the project, from design to monitoring and verification.
Philosophy: Maximizing synergies between the sequestration of carbon and the generation of benefits for the environment and local stakeholders.
Audience: Governments, local communities, NGOs, as well as project managers, investors and certifiers.
Partners: Face Foundation, KU Leuven, Joanneum Research, B,S,S. economic consultants, ICRAF, FIS Ltd/Unique, CETEFOR, Profafor.
Overall objective: Development of framework to design sustainable CDM AR projects taking into account the interest of all stakeholders and to test it in 4 case studies in 4 non - Annex I countries (Bolivia, Ecuador, Kenya & Uganda).
