Sourcebook for land use, land-use change and forestry projects
@inproceedings{Walker2013SourcebookFL, title={Sourcebook for land use, land-use change and forestry projects}, author={Sarah M. Walker and Timothy R. H. Pearson and Sandra A. Brown}, year={2013} }
This sourcebook is designed to be a guide for developing and implementing land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) projects for the BioCarbon Fund of the World Bank that meet the requirements for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. Only project types and carbon pools that are eligible for credit under the CDM during the first commitment period (2008-2012) are covered. With its user-friendly format, the sourcebook introduces readers to the CDM processes and…
