This document outlines the Tropical Wetland Initiatives for Climate Adaptation and Mitigation partnership. It discusses capacity building activities like training workshops on measuring greenhouse gas fluxes and carbon stocks. It also mentions the development of a database to store and share tropical wetlands data. The partnership aims to provide information to bodies like the UNFCCC and IPCC on methodological issues related to wetlands and climate change adaptation strategies.
