In this study, analysis of land use and suitability maps for 2 contrasting mountainous ecosystems was used to identify areas where a change from existing to potential land use was required. A socioeconomic survey was carried out to select locations for implementing 2 land management packages with the full participation of farmers.
Carbon projects often impact lands managed by communities with insecure or informal tenure rights, especially in Africa and Asia, where carbon markets are expanding rapidly. Nearly 80% of land managed by Indigenous Peoples and local communities in these regions lacks formal recognition.
This report aims to help put forest peoples back at the centre of discussions on financing the preservation of forests by exploring non-market approaches (NMAs) and the contribution they can make to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss. It offers a description of six NMAs, and of the relative strengths and weaknesses, to inform civil society, IP and LC organisations, policymakers, scientists, economists and the private sector who seek ways to move away from contested carbon or biodiversity markets and who would benefit from more
GLA believes it is crucial to collectively advance thinking, dialogue, and action on the role of land rights and tenure security to make the VCM and other nature-based markets equitable, efficient and sustainable. In the following sections of this brief, we set out some key considerations and propose concrete actions to make the VCM work for IPs and LCs, the carbon market and the global climate agenda.
A fully operational Article 6 offers countries a powerful tool to scale up mitigation efforts to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). If implemented right, Article 6 will help channel much-needed climate finance – both public and private - to developing countries, enabling meaningful investments in mitigation activities. That said, the process does not end here. While there will be no further Article 6 negotiations until 2028, significant work lies ahead for the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body in 2025.
