Dear all,

The USAID-funded Lowering Emissions in Asia’s Forests (LEAF) Program
has published the proceedings of the Workshop “Road to REDDiness –
Making RELs Work” held from 23-25 August, 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand.
This was a technical capacity building program with a training
workshop focused on the creation of Reference Emission Levels (RELs).
Participants came from Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia &
papua New Guinea.

LEAF is a five year program that will continue to engage regional
governments, forestry and climate mitigation specialists and
universities in a technical capacity building program focused on REDD+
Readiness. The program also works on policy and market incentives for
improved forest management and land use planning, develops innovative
pilot interventions, and strengthens regional platforms and mechanisms
for sharing lessons learned and scaling up innovation.
