| dc.description | An account of the proceedings of the above workshop held from 27 to 29 August 2003 in Seoul, Korea which brought together 47 experts from the Asia-Pacific region. A number of new and interesting initiatives where examined. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – payments for afforestation and reforestation activities to mitigate climate change – is attracting global attention. However, opportunities to tap this source are confined to larger organizations and it remains an uphill task for the poo r to capture this source of funding. Likewise, biodiversity wealth remains largely untapped. Converting ecological services into financial payments offers a ray of hope. Albeit, there are still disputes about who should be the recipients and how the payments should be spread. This publication is a compilation of the papers presented at the workshop whose focus was on improving the contribution of forests to poverty reduction strategies. A summary of the recommendations is included. | |
