Training Manual for Capacity Building of Assam Forest Department on Carbon Stock Assessment of Forests

This manual aims to assist the State Forest Department in meeting the requirements in respect of forest carbon inventory methods that would in turn assess the contribution of forests in sequestration of atmospheric carbon. It will be helpful not only at the State but also at the national level for analysing role of forests towards India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Forest department can evaluate quality of their forest and accordingly they can take further actions for improvement of forest cover and contribute to achieving the Forest related NDC target of 2.5 to 3 billion tons of CO2 by 2030.
