their quantified emission limitation
Participatory approach to Forest Management
Benefits to accrue to the communities

CFM

Self initiated forest protection committees

Spread of JFM

JFM in 23 states of India
Over 62,894 Village Forest Committees formed
14 million ha of JFM area.
Afforestation/Reforestation in degraded forest

Funded through central, state and external agencies

Future Plans for JFM


GoI plans to cover nearly 1,73,000 forest fringe
villages
Target for greening programme
 15 Mha of degraded forest - JFM
 10 Mha of irrigated area - commercial agroforestry
 18 Mha of rainfed area - subsistence agroforestry
 Rs 4800 crores annually; existing Rs. 1615 crores
Potential area available for reforestation
and afforestation

Methods for estimating C
sequestration

COMAP Model
 Annual and cumulative carbon stock changes
 Incremental carbon stock
 Total C stock per ha
 Cost-Effectiveness;




Investment cost; Rs/tC or Rs/ha
Life cycle cost; Rs/tC or Rs/ha
Net present value of returns; Rs/tC
Calculation method
 Area under JFM
 Annual Above Ground Biomass Growth Rates
 Financial value of carbon credit at Rs 500/tC
 Total Mitigation Potential
 Financial Potential
