Fiji REDD
Carbon Partnership has been assisting the Fiji Government with its national programme for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD). In May 2009 we provided the lead consulting advice to a National Planning Workshop to develop a national REDD programme.
In September 2009 we ran the Fiji National REDD Policy & Scoping Workshop combining policy and technical training with the development of a national REDD strategy framework. This involved a technical capability and data assessment and a plan for the development of Fiji's national forest carbon monitoring programme.
