Burkina Faso is one of the world’s poorest countries (LDC), accounting for just 0.05% of the global per capita emissions and is among the 10% of the countries that are most vulnerable to climate change. But despite their limited economic capabilities Burkina Faso is highly committed to climate change adaptation and mitigation, as can be noted in their nationally determined contribution (NDC, is document where countries define how they are going to achieve their Paris Agreement commitments), where they highlight the importance of capacity development. The selected LMTs are in line with the plans defined in Burkina Faso’s NDC, which would ease their potential implementation as well as increase the government’s interest in these techniques. These are crop management, afforestation/reforestation and forest management.
Introduction: World Bank Forest Investment Program, Burkina Faso
How can we assess the impact of interventions that target the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from land-use change and forest degradation? In Burkina Faso, we aim to answer this question.
