  Fact sheet. Project: Development of biomass estimation models for carbon monitoring in selected vegetation types of Tanzania

  2013

  The carbon benefits of any forest carbon project are estimated on the basis of changes of carbon stocks in different biomass pools and such changes may be determined through continuous forest inventories, possibly combined with growth estimates, and the use of models for biomass estimation, i.e. allometric biomass equations.

  Development of clean development mechanism projects in Tanzania by Green Resources as lessons learnt

  The Norwegian Embassy in Tanzania, 2010

  Green Resources AS of Norway (GRAS) conducted a number of studies on the possibility of developing two Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in Tanzania.

  The REDD direction: the potential for reduced forest carbon emissions, biodiversity protection and enhanced development: a desk study with special focus on Tanzania and Uganda

  Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 2009

  This paper examines whether reduced emissions from forests – from deforestation and forest degradation (the REDD project) - should be included in a post-Kyoto agreement . It focuses on how REDD could be instituted at the national level, and sheds light on specific challenges for two African countries – Tanzania and Uganda.
