Purpose and scope of the Toolbox

The purpose of the Toolbox is to provide

basic training materials for academia, policy-

makers, and practitioners on issues related to

climate change adaptation and mitigation

strategies to be built around high-carbon

reservoirs performed in wetland ecosystems The scope of the Toolbox ranges from global,

national through local perspectives. Although

limited to climate change adaptation and

mitigation it also discuss issues beyond

carbon

Why Wetlands?

SWAMP concentrates its work on wetlands for two reasons:Wetlands are important in the global C cycles

• Very high C stocks, some of the highest on the planet

• Highest land cover change/deforestation rates in the tropics, hence, GHG emissions

Wetlands provide numerous Ecosystem Services • Provisioning (food, fuel, fiber/wood)• Supporting (primary production of terrestrial

and aquatic forms of lives, nutrient accumulation)

• Regulating (climate, fresh water cycles, pollution control)

• Cultural (aesthetic, recreational, educational, spiritual)

What is SWAMP?Sustainable Wetlands Adaptation Mitigation

Program – a partnership between the Center for

International Forestry Research (CIFOR), USDA

Forest Services, and Oregon State University –

supported by the US Agency for International

Development (USAID)

What is SWAMP?

SWAMP Goal

The overall goal of SWAMP is to provide policy makers with credible scientific

information needed to make sound decisions regarding the role of tropical

wetlands in climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies.

To achieve this goal the program has been implemented in a multi-disciplinary

fashion to respond to a variety of national and international needs.

What is SWAMP?

SWAMP Objectives1. Quantify C stocks of representative tropical forested wetlands of the world

2. Quantify greenhouse gas emissions from both intact wetlands and sites undergone land cover change

3. Develop ecosystem modeling tools and remote sensing technology to scale up C measurements

4. Quantify the role of tropical wetland systems in climate change adaptation and mitigation

5. Build capacity of stakeholders through training and outreach activities in countries and relevant agencies
