• Land use and land use change contribute 30% of greenhouse gas emissions
• Sustainable land management projects have potential to:
• reduce GHG emissions• sequester carbon
• GEF need a standardized way of assessing carbon benefits & smallholders could benefit through carbon credits

The Carbon Benefits Project: Modelling, Measurement and Monitoring
Aims to develop scientifically rigorous, cost-effective tools to establish carbon benefits of sustainable land management interventions in terms of protected or enhanced carbon stocks and reduced greenhouse-gas emissions.(1) estimate and model carbon stocks and flows and GHG
emissions under present and alternative management, and (2) measure and monitor carbon changes under specified land use
and management

The Carbon Benefits Project: Modelling, Measurement and Monitoring
• A suite of tools, with instructions on how to use them, available from a single website.
• Applicable to all projects involving interventions in natural resources management, such as forestry, agroforestry, agriculture and pasture management, in all climate zones, soils types and land uses.
