DAY 2!!!
Started with the concept of REDD+,we came to know more about it.. During COP11(Montreal 2005),the concept of RED was emerged.And was formally introduced during COP13(Bali 2007).With incorporation of ?Forest Conservation And Enhancement Of Carbon Stock? into REDD in COP15(Copenhegan 2009), REDD+ came in scene.REDD+ encourages developing country parties to contribute to mitigation actions in the forest sector by undertaking above mention activities
REDD- Reducing emission from deforestation
Reducing emission from forest degradation
REDD+-Sustainable management of forest
Conservation of forest carbon stock
Enhancement of forest carbon stock.
.While talking about Nepal Readiness in REDD+ , Nepal became a FCPF member at 1st and then submitted readiness plan idea note on April 2008.Then further prepared R-PP with the help of world Bank financial support and finally approved by FCPF on 2012.The proposed REDD+ activities in Nepal are intended to position the country to participate and receive benefits from all possible international financing mechanisms for forest carbon and other related environmental sevices, which is fast emerging mechanism in climate change context.
Forest plays important role as sink of carbon dioxide and iscost effective means than the other. about 20% of the global carbon dioxide emission is sequestrated by standing forest.The practice of community forest management(CFM) is well demonsrated in Nepal.More than 1475 community forest user groups.This has make Nepal a leading country institutionalizing concept of CFM in national forest policy.However ,despite the success of CFM in Nepal,forest degradation continues.Hence, there is a prime need to aware people about climate change and forest role in reducing impacts.Further the presence of different types of forest like community,leasehold,scientific,religious etc depicts good opportunity for Nepal to take benefit from REDD+..

CFM not only provides environmental benefits but also improves local welfare as it becomes a great source of income and reduces rural poverty. Nepal is setting example for other countries by leading in CFM practices but as you said , inspite of successful CFM , forest degradation continues -implies still there is a need to spread awareness to wider mass about significant role by forests in mitigating climate change impacts. Thanks for your report, Sandhya.

yea bindu, the training has broadened my ideas and knowledge on climate change, carbon sequestrataion and more...i got to know more than the expectetion :)

Looks like you are enjoying the training workshop a lot, knowing about REDD and REDD+, their emergence, CFM etc. surely widened your understanding about climate change.
All the best for rest of the days dear :)

Community forests are true protagonist in our context. It is best method to celebrate diversity and utilise it responsibly. Also Community forests are best way to sequestrate carbon released in world.
