- Project descriptionThe Hariyo Ban Program is designed to build resilience to climate change in communities and ecosystems by restoring and conserving Nepal’s forests; The five year program works on biodiversity conservation, payments for ecosystem services (including REDD+) and climate change adaptation. To achieve this aim, the project will: - Initiate capacity building on GHG emission monitoring; - Conduct feasibility assessments on PES and promising mechanisms, to be tested and replicated. - Support the development of a new biogas Verified Emission Reduction (VER) project in TAL using Gold Standard methodology to generate payments from carbon credits. - Identify and tackle drivers of deforestation, to restore biodiversity corridors in two key regions: Terai Arc Landscape (TAL) and Chitwan-Annapurna Landscape (CHAL).
