NRM REDD+ Training 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand

Brief Background

This is the 3rd International training on Forest Carbon Accounting and Monitoring with reference to REDD+ to be organized by the Natural Resources Management of the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand. The new content is designed to reflect the previous training in July 2017 experiences to ensure that trainees obtain the knowledge they want. Trainees are expected to do hand-on practices and active participation in the class as well as in the field so that they will not miss any lecture and exercises. With the technology development and the increasing availability of online data and tools, this year’s training will be put more emphasis on the use of Google Earth Engine and Collect Earth for forest carbon monitoring.

This training will target anyone who has interests in understanding how to calculate carbon stocks, emissions, reductions and/or removals in tropical forests with/out financial support. Trainees are expected to have some knowledge of using computer such as internet, Gmail, google drive, spatial data or others. Trainees are encouraged to bring their own data (forest inventory data, spatially referenced Map, remote sensing images, GPS survey data, etc.) and Laptop for exercises. Trainees can bring back the results of data analysis during the training to their respective institutions after returning home. Furthermore, trainees must have good command of English.
