A guide to facilitate community-owned climate change and forest carbon projects.

This toolkit is for project coordinators working on community-owned and high-integrity forest carbon projects in the Pacific region. Sections include how to assess community knowledge, understanding the causes of climate change, how forest carbon projects operate, and how rights and decision-making must always remain with Indigenous customary landowners. Background information, workshop guides and step-by-step activities support project facilitators to work alongside Indigenous landowners who are establishing forest carbon projects, or those who are deciding if this is the right alternative for them.

A collaboration between Nakau and Live and Learn, this toolkit is available to other organisations, governments and policy-makers also committed to rights-based forest carbon projects.
