Book Synopsis Assessing the International Forest Regime by : Richard Tarasofsky
Download or read book Assessing the International Forest Regime written by Richard Tarasofsky and published by IUCN. This book was released on 1999 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an assessment of the international forest regime, in reponse to calls from many quarters, including the UN Intergovernmental Forum on Forests (IFF) and the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development, as well as several NGOs. The focus is mainly on action taken by countries at the global level, in the framework of legally binding instruments and institutions. It builds on previous analyses of the international forest regime by looking beyond the legal mandates to begin exploring the actual performance of the components against their mandates. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests (IPF) Proposals for Action as the point for departure, the effectiveness and impact of individual legal instruments and global instutions are analyzed, as is the potential for synergy between them.

Book Synopsis International Forest Policy by International and Transnational Organizations by : Sarah L. Burns
Download or read book International Forest Policy by International and Transnational Organizations written by Sarah L. Burns and published by Göttingen University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, globalization and internationalization led to an increase in the number of international regimes attempting to influence national behaviour over many different issues. By using the case of the international forest regime complex this thesis seeks to evaluate how an international organization such as the World Bank and private institutions of forest certification influence domestic forest policy. The cases of Argentina and Armenia were selected as examples of developing countries open to international influences with weak forest sectors that went through a recent administrative restructuring. In so doing this dissertation seeks to answer how do international and transnational organizations influence domestic forest policies? The results show that: the influence of the World Bank in Argentina and Armenia pushed the forest sector towards deregulation; state bureaucracies play an important role in the implementation of transnational regimes at the national level; the political system of federal countries provides multiple institutional access points for policy change that international and transnational regimes try to use in order to influence the domestic level, consequently changing the power balance of the domestic networks.
Book Synopsis Regime Interaction in International Forest Law by : Yilly Vanessa Pacheco Restrepo
Download or read book Regime Interaction in International Forest Law written by Yilly Vanessa Pacheco Restrepo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite covering almost a third of the globe, forests do not enjoy the protection of a singular global legal convention. Instead, International Forest Law is a complex ecosystem in its own right. This book sets out to examine this complexity by analyzing forest-related Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and how the decisions of the various corresponding Conferences of the Parties (COPs) may promote regime interaction in this field of law. Through an in-depth analysis of more than 60 decisions and resolutions of such COPs, Yilly Pacheco discusses how secondary law-making activity in forest-related MEAs may be strengthened and used to fill the gaps in International Forest Law.
Book Synopsis Agents, Assumptions and Motivations Behind REDD+ by : Simone Lovera-Bilderbeek
Download or read book Agents, Assumptions and Motivations Behind REDD+ written by Simone Lovera-Bilderbeek and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was hoped that by paying forest dependent peoples and countries for their “service” of conserving their forests, REDD+ would lead to a reduction in deforestation greenhouse gases. The complexities have, however, left some ambiguities. It was never agreed who would pay for the program, and it has been criticized as ignoring the root causes of forest loss. Considering the motivations of those who promoted REDD+ this book proposes remedies to its shortfalls and recommends more efficient, equitable and effective conservation policies.
Book Synopsis The Forest Policies of International Regimes in Different World Regions: Issue Specificity, Formalisation, and Hegemony as Drivers by : Pradip Kumar Sarker
Download or read book The Forest Policies of International Regimes in Different World Regions: Issue Specificity, Formalisation, and Hegemony as Drivers written by Pradip Kumar Sarker and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests are multifunctional, including economic, social, and environmental purposes. These governed by a combination of sub-national and national and global and regional regimes. Political analysis is mainly focused on international forest regimes by global forest and forest-related regimes. However, the international forest regime is more multi-centric and fragmented than other international environmental regimes due to the absence of a legally binding agreement on the world's forests. In this vein, regional regimes that consider forest issues directly or indirectly have drawn valuable att...
Book Synopsis Forests in International Law by : Anja Eikermann
Download or read book Forests in International Law written by Anja Eikermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the potential need for an international convention on forests and establishes a multifunctional concept of forests as a cornerstone for international forest regulation. Accordingly, it examines a variety of international instruments pertaining directly or indirectly to forests and explores their entangled, fragmented nature. While contending that the lack of consistency in international law impedes the development of a stand-alone international forest convention, at the same time it argues that the lessons learned from fragmentation as well as from the history of forest discourse on the international level open up new options for the regulation of forests in international law, based on (new) concepts of coordination and cooperation.
Book Synopsis Forestry in the Midst of Global Changes by : Christine Farcy
Download or read book Forestry in the Midst of Global Changes written by Christine Farcy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forestry today, like many other sectors that traditionally rely on material goods, faces significant global drivers of societal change that are less often addressed than the environmental concerns commonly in the spotlight of scientific, political, and news media. There are three major interconnected issues that are challenging forestry at its foundation: urbanization, tertiarization, and globalization. These issues are at the core of this book. The urbanization of society, a process in development from the first steps of industrialization, is particularly significant today with the predominance and quick growth rate of the world’s urban population. Ongoing urbanization is creating new perspectives on forestry, inducing changes in its social representation, and changing lifestyles and practices with a tendency toward dematerialization. The process of urbanization is also creating a disconnect and in some ways is leaving behind rurality, the sector of society where forestry has traditionally developed and taken place over centuries. The second issue covered in this book is the tertiarization of the economy. In society today, the sector of services largely dominates the economy and occupies the major part of the world’s active population. This ongoing process modifies professional modalities and ways of life and opens new doors to forests through the immaterial goods they provide. It also profoundly changes the framework, rules, processes, means of production, exchanges between economic factors, and the processes of innovation. The third issue is undoubtedly globalization in its economic, political, and social components. Whether it’s through bridging distances, crossing borders, accelerating changes, standardizing practices, leveling hierarchical structures, or pushing for interdependence, globalization impacts everyone, everywhere in multiple ways. Forestry is no exception. Forestry in the Midst of Global Changes focuses on these global drivers of change from the perspective of their relationships with how society functions. By analyzing them in depth through multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and even transdisciplinary approaches, this book is helping to design the forestry of tomorrow.

Book Synopsis Putting the National Back in Forest-related Policies by : Benjamin Singer
Download or read book Putting the National Back in Forest-related Policies written by Benjamin Singer and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the International Forests Regime (IFR) and Forest-Related Policies (FRPs) is a frequently studied issue in forest management, but the lack of rigorous research on the subject has given rise to a number of erroneous assumptions about the influence of one on the other. This study looks at this question by focusing on 12 case-studies in 3 countries (Brazil, Cameroon and Indonesia) from a public policy perspective. An overview of the IFR shows its plurality and fragmentary character. It is composed of both formal elements (negotiations and the few agreements that have been reached) and informal elements (namely forest management principles). As for Brazilian, Cameroonian and Indonesian FRPs, they have all evolved considerably over the past four decades but change varies according to the case-study, period covered and the sector. In order to shed light on the mechanisms that underlie these variations in change, a new theoretical tool is established to account for the evolution of policies studied and is based on a new concept, that of network projections. These may be defined as the perception that actors have of policy networks that surround them as they see them or wish to see them. This approach not only allows us to explain changes observed, but also show (i) that the role of the national sphere remains the main source of change in FRPs, and (ii) that within the IFR it is informal components (i.e., forest management principles) that have most influenced FRPs

Book Synopsis Climate Change, Forests and REDD by : Joyeeta Gupta
Download or read book Climate Change, Forests and REDD written by Joyeeta Gupta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A search for new methods for dealing with climate change led to the identification of forest maintenance as a potential policy option that could cost-effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with the development of measures for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This book explores how an analysis of past forest governance patterns from the global through to the local level, can help us to build institutions which more effectively deal with forests within the climate change regime. The book assesses the options for reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries under the international climate regime, as well as the incentives flowing from them at the national and sub national level and examines how these policy levers change human behaviour and interface with the drivers and pressures of land use change in tropical forests. The book considers the trade-offs between certain forestry related policies within the current climate regime and the larger goal of sustainable forestry. Based on an assessment of existing multi-level institutional forestry arrangements, the book questions how policy frameworks can be better designed in order to effectively and equitably govern the challenges of deforestation and land degradation under the global climate change regime. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Law and Environmental Studies.
