PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
The Lao People's Democratic Republic still has one of the highest forest cover rates in Southeast Asia and is rich in natural resources such as water and minerals. More than 70 percent of the population lives near the forest and derives around 20 percent of their livelihood from its use. Since the 1960s, forest areas have declined dramatically, primarily due to the expansion of agriculture, shifting cultivation, infrastructure development and timber exploitation.
The result is increasing greenhouse gas emissions, loss of biodiversity and decreasing water and soil protection. This particularly affects the poorest parts of Laotian society, especially women and ethnic minorities, who rely on intact forests to make a living.
Goal
The Lao People's Democratic Republic succeeds in reducing emissions resulting from deforestation and forest degradation, promoting sustainable forest management and advancing the preservation and expansion of forest carbon storage.
Approach
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is a key strategy for the Laotian government to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The project contributes to a conducive environment for the implementation of REDD+ through
better financial resources for the transformation of forest management;
revising and improving the legal and regulatory framework for forestry;
promoting the enforcement of the new regulatory framework (governance
