LULUCF climate change mitigation projects in the Philippines: A PRIMER
This primer is written for people who are interested in mitigating climate change through planting of trees, conserving existing forests, or what is collectively known as LULUCF (land use, land use change, and forestry) projects. These projects are also more popularly known as carbon sequestration projects or “sinks” projects. Policy makers, project developers, NGOs, researchers, community organizations, donors and students will principally benefit from this document. Because of the wide range of intended users, the language and style of the primer has been adapted accordingly. It should be noted that, while the so-called ‘Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)’ projects are tackled here, the primer is for more than just CDM projects. It is intended to provide a general introduction for all types of “sinks” projects. Its goal is to help ensure that projects are environmentally, technically and socio-economically sound. It is unavoidable that much of the terminology used in this primer has unique meaning specific to the context LULUCF, CDM and climate change. To assist those readers for whom this terminology may be unfamiliar, a glossary is provided in the back of the primer.
