Abstract
This paper introduces a research project intended to evaluate the capacity of landowners in the Philippines to engage in small-scale carbon forestry projects and participate in international environmental markets, specifically through the clean development mechanism (CDM) or other similar schemes in regulated or voluntary markets. The paper discusses relevant policy mechanisms, presents a review of current literature, and then describes the structure of the research project that will be conducted in the study area of Leyte, the Philippines. The research project will apply a systems methodology which is explained in this introductory paper. The literature review provides initial assumptions that will be applied in this systems methodology.
