Workshop on Community Forests, Climate Change and REDD+ in Ethiopia

This workshop was organized by the Environmental Economics Policy Forum for Ethiopia (EEPFE) in collaboration with Portland State University and the World Bank on the 10th of December 2012 at Desalegn Hotel, Addis Ababa.

The main research questions addressed by the project included what the potential GHG impacts are on REDD+, how forest reliant population will be affected by REDD+, and what the implications of different forest management systems are for REDD+ design and efficiency.
