Shan State REDD+ action plan, Myanmar

The Shan State REDD+ Action Plan has been developed through multi-stakeholder consultation processes and expert meetings under the REDD+ Himalayas project jointly organized by the Forest Department's Forest Research Institute and ICIMOD. This action plan has identified major drivers of deforestation and forest degradation as well as barriers to forest carbon stock enhancement activities and developed targeted intervention packages to address them. This sub-national and regional-scale information will be helpful in finalizing the national REDD+ strategy, and local people will benefit from the implementation of the SRAP.
