*BACKGROUND *
Unsustainable fuelwood extraction is one of the key drivers of forest
degradation and deforestation in India. More than 200 million people of the
Indian population are extracting fuelwood from the forests. A large part of
this fuelwood is directed towards meeting household cooking needs. In
Assam, around 72% of the households are extracting fuel wood from forests
annually which leads to the degradation of the quality of forests and land
and has also decreased the forest cover. GIZ and TERI have been involved in
implementation of India's first Pilot Forestry NAMA on Sustainable Fuelwood
Management in 6 forest divisions namely Sonitpur East and West, Nagaon and
Nagaon South, Cachar and Dibrugarh. With active support of Assam Forest
Department, Assam Energy Development Agency and Assam Branch of Indian Tea
Association the project is getting implemented in Forest Villages, Forest
Fringe Villages and selected Tea Estates in the state to address knowledge,
planning, financing and communication gaps towards enhancing forest carbon
stock through conservation and plantation; reducing fuelwood demand by
promoting fuelwood saving technologies. The project has been able to deploy
clean cooking technologies to 15,000 households such as Improved Cook
Stoves developed by AEDA (Sukhad model) in convergence with Pradhan Mantri
Ujjwala Scheme, facilitated plantations over 1000 hectares and to achieve
total emission reductions of 84,000 tCO2e. Thus, Pilot forestry NAMA has
showcased pathways to achieve sustainable fuelwood management through a
balanced mix of the supply and demand-side management options to meet the
varying needs of fuelwood consuming regions and communities in Assam.
With regards,
Priya
