Summary
The project addresses the unregulated and rapidly growing voluntary carbon market which could threaten the rights and livelihoods of forest-dependent communities in Liberia, whilst also utilising opportunities provided by the newly adopted Global Biodiversity Framework. Through training via Legal Working Groups and organisational capacity building, this project will build community legal capacity and understanding of IPLC rights in these areas, ultimately enabling them to contribute to improved legal frameworks, improved forest governance, poverty reduction, biodiversity conservation and climate protection.
