Helping pave the way for sustainable carbon financing in Nepal.
In the face of climate change and its challenges at both a local and global scale, carbon financing has come as an opportunity to combat climate change by promoting renewable energy, engergy efficiency and forest carbon related projects. Local communities are the stewards of nature conservation and when the world is looking towards solution to combat climate change, it si vital to engage local communities in this process. WWF-Nepal, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, Embassy of Finland, USAID, and the WWF network offices in Finland, US and UK is helping build a team of trained local resource persons (LRPs) and students on forest carbon and REDD+ issues. The opportunity bridges local level knowledge and enhances capacities and the technical skills of local youth, government officials and aspiring students on forest carbon and inventory issues, 148LRPs have been trained on forest carbon inventory in Nepal's two biggest conservation landscapes the Terai Are Landscape (TAL) and the Sacred Himalayan Landscape (SHL). The training runs for 5 days and includes both theory and practical sessions before doing field-level work.
The LRPs proved instrumental in developing the forest carbon status in TAL. which is now being replicated in SHL, with plans to upscale it in Chitwan-Annapurna Linkage, using both students and replicated in LRPs. Thid engagement will help local people understand the technicalities behind REDD+and the complexities behind the process. This will also serve as a platform for local youth to share views on scio-economic issues the local drivers for deforestation and degradation, sustainable management of forest, forest carbon enhancement, benefit sharing and the role of forests for both adaptaion and mitigation.
