Community forestry adaptation roadmap to 2020 for Lao PDR

Community-based forest management in Lao PDR lacks strong legal standing. However, the legal revision process currently underway promises increased rights for communities over local forest areas. As forest laws are being reformed, various community forest-based adaptation projects have been implemented, including projects from Mekong Asia-Pacific Community-Based Adaptation, and Norwegian Church Aid. In addition, the For Info project has piloted market-based forest adaptive management technologies to benefit smallholder farmers. While Lao PDR’s National Adaptation Program of Action to Climate Change (NAPA) has proposed projects to support village forestry, funding has yet to come through for implementing these proposals.
