| Summary: | 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 requirements,
and provides methods and procedures to produce accurate and
precise estimates of changes in carbon stocks. The
sourcebook is not designed as a primer on field measurement
tech-niques, although guidance is given. The sourcebook is
intended as an addition to the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) good practice guidance on land use,
land-use change and forestry (2003), providing additional
explanation, clarification and enhanced methodologies. It is
designed to be used alongside the good practice guidance. |
