Summary
Carbon sequestration projects conducted as part of community development strategies can offer considerable environmental and social benefits. The lessons learned from such initiatives in Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Philippines, Indonesia, and Timor Leste generally demonstrate the importance of engaging strong local participation. The workshop reviewed in this paper examined a range of possibilities, including mainstreaming gender equity, reviving traditional laws and implementing adaptation measures. Findings from the workshop suggest that climate change projects must include practical livelihood options and that further investigation of donor and policy responses is needed to determine the level of public funding these projects should receive and how to best encourage private sector involvement.
