Abstract/Summary:
The collection of case studies presented in this document attempts to explore opportunities to promote the participation of local communities in various countries with a range of socio- economic settings and institutional challenges. They fall into two groups. The first considers cases of communities that are already involved in community-based forest management in a variety of settings and have been trained to make assessment of the changes in carbon stock in these forests over time. The second group concerns small-scale AR CDM projects.
