With support from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), CIFOR will host a workshop to look at the lessons learned from implementing carbon sequestration projects that have strong livelihood components, at its headquarters in Bogor on 16-17 February 2005.

Workshop Objectives

To bring together practitioners, project developers, policy makers, and researchers to share knowledge, lessons and best practices in implementing projects focused on carbon sequestration and sustainable livelihoods. To provide information about both mandatory and voluntary carbon markets, and guidance on what project partners would need to do to benefit from these markets.The workshop may also examine how the provision of ecosystem services, including watershed and biodiversity protection, might be financially compensated.

Expected Outcomes

It is hoped the workshop will answer the following:

How successful have projects been with community-based NRM systems that promote climate change mitigation and improve livelihoods?
How have the progress and results achieved been reported and quantified?
How can research and extension agencies make their methodologies, tools and training materials more appropriate for rural communities?
How can the sale of ecosystem services and emission reduction credits be better facilitated to attract potential donors and investor interest?
What must be done by governments to encourage these types of programs?
