This presentation is the result of recent study I have conducted in collaboration with RECOFTC. The findings have presented in a workshop entitled REDD+ Status, Opportunities, and challenges in the Asia-Pacific held on 20-21 Sept, 2011 in Dhulikhel and organised by RECOFTC in collaboration with FECOFUN Nepal.

Objectives of this presentation are to aware the national and international stakeholders about the possible conflict situation that can emerge after REDD+ implementation informing the current state of conflict, and to understand conflict over forests and land in Nepal as well as approaches to conflict management, in order to inform the design and implementation of REDD+.
