Thetrainees subsequently become resource persons inthe community level trainings. Trainings focus onpractical aspects of carbon measurement of forestsand awareness building of indigenous peoplesregarding status of forest and equal benefit sharingfrom the REDD+ strategies implementation in theirrespective communities. Trainings primarilyaccentuate the importance of carbon inventory,mapping, and delineation activities.

Objectives

s Raise awareness and build capacity on Climate Change and REDD in relation to indigenous peoples amongindigenous leaders, relevant Government Agencies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) Non-GovernmentalOrganizations (NGOs) and International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) both at national and locallevels for the promotion of Right-based, Equitable and Pro-Poor REDD Strategies in Nepal.

School Program

With a purpose of educating the new generation on climatechange and REDD in relation to indigenous peoples andlocal community, a twenty credit hours local curriculumon ‘Climate Change REDD and Indigenous Peoples’ hasbeen implemented in the schools of Lamjung district tointegrate it into the Social Studies curriculum.

Mapping and Delineation

Boundary delineation of forests is crucial in thecontext of REDD. It provides area coverage whichgives extent of forests as carbon storage. Forestmapping provides information on measurement ofareal extent of forests on species, its distribution
