Sample Project 2

• Organisation: Sebajagat
• Project: Orchard plantation
• Activity: Orchard plantation and land development
• Objectives achieved: Livelihood and income generation

Were there any climate co-benefits? (benefits related to environment and climate which were overlooked, that is achieved but were not reported)

Yes: Some of the potential climate co-benefits

• Carbon Sequestration
• Food security (availability of nutritious fruits)
• Micro-climate regulation
• Increase in biodiversity (birds and animals around orchards)
• NTFP benefits (dry leaves, fodder, fuelwood, honey, gum and resin)

How to measure these climate co-benefits

How

• Carbon sequestration estimation
• Biomass estimation (plantation) and soil survey (pre (control) and post (treatment) project survey)
• Beneficiary interviews

Requirements

• Skilled personnel for field surveys and interviews, data analysis and reporting
• Tool for conducting field surveys
