Abstract
REDD pilot projects are being developed around the world to demonstrate how REDD might work on the ground in preparation for the implementation of this policy and the buying/selling of these emission reduction units on the regulated market. This document provides guidance on key questions to ask when assessing the feasibility of developing a REDD project and key steps for developing a successful REDD project. Although REDD refers to deforestation and degradation, he projects and training workshop from which this guidance document has drawn have focused primarily on deforestation; thus, that will be the focus of this manual, but many of the guiding principles may also hold true for a project that is addressing forest degradation.
Keywords
