The report looks at key climate change incidences in global and country level of Nepal and analyse the causes of forest and land use change in green house gas emission in the atmosphere. This report tries to link between forestry and climate change events, forestry and mitigation response to climate change in the context of community based forest resource management. More importantly it analyse the concept of REDD, different approach of it and it’s applicable to the community forestry of Nepal. More importantly, the report documents the practices of reducing emission through deforestation and degradation of forest by community forestry user groups and promoted by UK aid Livelihoods and Forestry Programme in Nepal.

I expect that the report is fruitful for development professional and researcher who work in forest resource management and REDD to climate change. As the report document the best practices of community forestry management of the country, it seems effective to replicate the practices in other sectors and areas of REDD programme.
