Assessing Climate Change Risks, Vulnerabilities, and Responses in the Siphandone/Stung Treng Area with a Focus on Protecting Vulnerable Ecosystems
July 2010 - by Elizabeth Kistin and Peter McCornick
This workshop report reflects discussions and analysis conducted by 16 regional experts who gathered to test the methodology outlined in Flowing Forward with reference to the Siphandone/Stung Treng area in the Mekong River basin. The findings presented here highlight the significant effects of both climate change and development pressures on ecosystems and livelihoods in the case study area and discuss the ongoing and potential future policy and infrastructure responses to changing circumstances.
Public Participation in Watershed Management: An Evaluation of the Falls Lake Stakeholder Project
May 2010 - by Brooke C. Gray and Dr. Lynn Maguire, Advisor
Public participation has become an increasingly important component of effective watershed management over the last twenty years. Conducted by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, the Falls Lake Stakeholder Project is a collaborative stakeholder process that includes interested parties in drafting a federally mandated Nutrient Management Strategy. The Falls Lake Stakeholder Project worked to improve the stakeholder process by responding to issues recognized in a prior North Carolina Division of Water Quality project, the Jordan Lake Stakeholder Project.

Do Recent Scientific Findings Undermine the Climate Benefits of Carbon Sequestration in Forests?
April 2006 - by Lydia Olander
Recent scientific papers document previously unknown or under-reported methane emissions and water trade-offs that could reduce the benefits from terrestrial carbon sink practices such as reforestation and plantations. This Nicholas Institute report examines the policy implications of these findings. The report is a consensus document from a roundtable of top experts convened at the Institute earlier this year.
