Synopsis (short abstract) This report is prepared to provide an ex-ante appraisal of the carbon-balance of the “Environmental Services Project” (ESP) of the World Bank, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Swedish International Deveopment Cooperation Agency (SIDA) in Albania. The calculated ex-ante carbon balance is intended to complement conventional ex-ante economic and environmental analyses commonly undertaken in the planning phase of investment projects and development policies. A number of itsoutputs can furtherbe used in financial and economic analyses.This appraisal also provides the impact of the project on other forms of natural capital, such as the increaseinbiomass andsoil organic carbon, which directly affect the climate resilience of landscapes and watersheds.

    This working document presents the results of an EX-ACT Greenhouse Gas appraisal of the "Mekong Delta Integrated Climate Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Project (MD-ICRSL)" conducted with the MD-ICRSL team during the EX-ACT workshop organized by FAO and the World Bank from 14 to 17 June 2016 in Hanoi. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) is an appraisal system developed by FAO providing ex-ante estimates of the impact of agriculture and forestry development projects, programmes and p olicies on the carbon-balance. The project objectives are to improve the capacity of institutions and beneficiaries to manage increasing pressures from climate change (such as seawater intrusion).

    Greenhouse gas appraisal on sustainable management of critical wetland ecosystems 2017

    This report presents the results of an Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) Greenhouse Gas appraisal of the project “Sustainable management of critical wetland ecosystems” in Gabon. The project aims to improve protection of biodiversity in selected forested wetlands on the Ramsar list (Bas Ogooue, Monts Birougou and Petit Loango/Sette Cama). This will be achieved through knowledge creation and the development of conservation measures for the management of sustainable wetlands. The project seeks to cover 30 000 ha of forest area under sustainable forest management, benefiting 70 000 households. The GHG appraisal shows that the project has strong potential for climate change mitigation: -444 658 tCO2-e per year, if the project is implemented successfully.

    Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to increased food security and reductions in rural poverty. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on the World Bankfinanced Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation Project of the Government of Rwanda. Estim ates of the impact of project activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the implementation of the LWH project will provide additional environmental benefits by helping to mitigate climate change. Thus it reflects possible synergies between mitigation and rural development goals through a watershed approach.
