\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
The challenges of climate change and sustainable development are presently, and has been, on the top of the political agenda for the last decades. A vast majority of the developed countries in the world have through the Kyoto Protocol, signed in 1997, committed to targeted emission reduction. The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is part of the carbon market and aims to achieve sustainable development in developing countries. You can find one of these CDM projects in the Dokolo district, in the northern part of Uganda. The aim of this project is to reduce the carbon emission by planting trees (pines) that are binding carbon in an area of \mbox{2669\,ha}. In the vicinity of the plantation you can find approximately 19 villages with inhabitants that have various relations to the plantation area. The aim of the plantation project is not only to bind carbon, but it is also about sustainable development with focus on local development activities (such as employability on the plantation, giving seedlings to the people in the area, construct school buildings and boreholes, energy saving stoves project, etc.)



During my field study in the area (18\textsuperscript{th} January- 20\textsuperscript{th} march 2016) I was started to question: who is benefitting of the results of the local development activities? Are there any differences regarding gender and their possibilities to influence this local development? The empirical material I collected, by using methods such as interviews and observations, suggests that men and women get different benefits from the plantation. It was both in connection to decision"=making but also when it came to differences of land rights between the gender. For example, there is a problem with land rights for women in Uganda. In Uganda, women only own \mbox{7\,\%} of the land, leaving \mbox{93\,\%} with access to land only through a male relation, even if women do \mbox{85\,\%} of the agricultural production and processing. This is one of the factors that make it hard for women to take part of the advantages of the seedlings from the plantation, and therefore an important benefit from the plantation. 



This abstract is a brief introduction to the study. To reach a fair use of resources, I would say, that it is essential to include the gender approach in projects like this one. In this way we can achieve a more equal and sustainable world.}
