Guidance on Participatory Carbon Monitoring
This guidance document is an output of the project ‘Delivering Multiple Benefits from REDD+ in Southeast Asia’ (MB-REDD), implemented by SNV – The Netherlands Development Organisation in collaboration with the ‘Lowering Emissions in Asia’s Forests’ (LEAF) project. The MB-REDD project is part of the International Climate Initiative. The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature […]
Guidance on Carbon Stock Calculations Using Field Data Collected
This module describes the calculations necessary to estimate carbon stocks and their uncertainty, based on field data collected in a Terrestrial Carbon Monitoring System for REDD+.
Allometric Equation Evaluation Guidance Document
The study of carbon stored in forests is based on the assessment of biomass stocks found in various vegetation types, along with the carbon stored in the soil. While it is not possible to directly measure the mass of carbon or vegetation in a forest area without harvesting and weighing all tree and vegetation biomass, […]
Guidance for Developing NFI for Forest Carbon Sampling
This module describes the calculations necessary to estimate carbon stocks and their uncertainty, based on field data collected in a Terrestrial Carbon Monitoring System for REDD+.
India Water Resources Profile
India divides its surface water into 22 basins. The Ganges, Indus, Godavari, and Brahmaputra Basins cover more than half the country.
Remote Assessment of Extracted Volumes and Greenhouse Gases from Tropical Timber Harvest
Timber harvest from tropical regions generates seven billion dollars annually in exports and is estimated to occur across 20% of the area of remaining tropical forests. This timber harvesting is estimated to account for more than one in eight of all greenhouse gas emissions from tropical forests. Yet there is currently no means to independently […]
