MSI's South Asia and South East Asia Projects

Workshop: Extending Successful Community-Based Forest Management in response to Climate Change

Raffles Hotel Le Royal
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Wednesday 25 May and Thursday 26 May, 2011

This meeting brings together researchers and policy makers from Australia, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, and Viet Nam.

It addresses the tension between development of natural forestry resources and the need to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

Unresolved issues include:

• alternative livelihoods for forest-dependent communities;
• governance/land tenure;
• financial mechanisms for participation in global carbon economies;
• spatial planning; and
• legal and regulatory frameworks

These issues will be addressed in a two-day workshop including case study analyses. An emphasis will be on the identification and evaluation of cost effective and realistic policy alternatives.
