Advancing Understanding of Natural Forest Carbon Stock Enhancement as part of REDD+

This project, funded by German Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation & Nuclear Safety (BMU), aims to advance understanding of forest carbon stock enhancement as part of any future REDD+ Agreement through exploring the technical and economic feasibility of different forest carbon stock enhancement strategies in pilot sites, across Vietnam and Lao PDR. The sites will be chosen to reflect representative forest ecosystems of the region. The results and operational guidance will feed into the National REDD+ Strategies, which will ensure their replication across the respective countries. The project also aims to better understand the socio- economic feasibility of different options and the incentives which need to be in place to engage local communities and improve their living conditions.
