Costs and Benefits of Reducing Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Nepal
This study, supported by UN Environment under the UN-REDD Technical Assistance was commissioned at a time when the Government of Nepal is preparing for REDD readiness phase. The findings and cost estimates of this study for implementing REDD+ in Nepal provide some valuable insights for planning REDD+ interventions. For instance, the annual costs of reducing deforestation in Nepal is between USD 654/ha to USD 3,663/ha, and the associated opportunity cost of carbon sequestration ranges from USD 1.11 to USD 3.56 per tCO2. This figure will be useful when negotiations begin for developing a carbon purchase agreement and for estimating the financial contribution of the forestry sector to the national GDP.
