Abstract
This research aims to propose possible reform directions for involving community in monitoring carbon stock in REDD+ implementation in Thailand. Engaging community in monitoring carbon stock in forest could help ensure more effective REDD+ implementation both in terms of carbon sequestration and improving the livelihoods of, particularly, forestry communities in REDD+ implementation. This research employed doctrinal methods and documentary analysis, which mainly involved reviewing literature from a wide range of secondary sources including articles, research reports, books, website, and government documents.
The literature review emphasised that legal framework of Thailand fails to enable effective community involvement in monitoring carbon stock for REDD+ implementation. This research, therefore, makes some suggestions to enable effective community involvement in monitoring carbon stock for REDD+ implementation in Thailand.
