| Short Web Description: |
| This primer was written in response to the increasing number of inquiries that we have been receiving about information on climate change and forestry projects for climate change mitigation, the popularity of the topic undoubtedly spurred by recent developments surrounding the Kyoto Protocol. As of the time of writing, the Russian Federation has already ratified the Protocol, clearing the way for the global climate pact to enter into force early 2005. Of particular significance to the Philippines is an instrument under the Protocol, called the Clean Development Mechanism (COM), which enables industrialized countries to meet their emissions-reduction targets by investing in climate-friendly projects in developing countries that promote sustainable development. This will provide unprecedented opportunities for a wider group of people, including low-income upland farmers and forest dwellers in the Philippines, to benefit from environmental services provided by forestry activities. However, there are also outstanding issues that need to be addressed if these potential benefits are to be realized and the environmental integrity of the Protocol safeguarded. |
