Abstract

Meaningful engagement and effective participation of
developing countries and forest managing communities in international climate negotiations, national REDD+ policy formulation and local institutional processes of forest management have implications in the future global climate
regime, national forest management strategy and the local ecosystem management. This article primarily draws on the process and learning of REDD+ capacity building activities implemented from 2009 to 2014 in Nepal. With a brief description of key initiatives taken, this paper aims to highlight some critical lessons from this NORAD- funded project that show both opportunities and challenges of REDD+ capacity building program in Nepal. Some important insights gained so far from the project experience and implications for the future program of REDD+ in the developing countries like Nepal are highlighted.
