Book excerpt: Using the con- cepts of institutionalchoice and recognition, the cases deal with a compre- hensive range of issues in decentralized forest management in the context of REDD+, including the institutional choices of intervening agencies; the effects of such choices on accountability and representation; and the rela- tionships between local government and other local institutions. [...] The effects of REDD+ and REDD+-like activities on forest people (those living in or close to forests who rely on forests for their livelihoods) were consid- ered in terms of four dependent or outcome variables: participation in REDD+ governance, access to and distribution of REDD+ resources, access to and distri- bution of forest resources, and access to markets. [...] 1-Anderson, The Effects of REDD+ on Forest.indd 32 29/05/2014 17:44:49 5 Implications of REDD+ for Forest People This section presents the results of this review of the literature in terms of key areas that are central to the consideration of REDD+ impacts on forest people and will need to be considered with respect to the impacts of REDD+ activities on forest people. [...] In particular, it is thought that outcomes from REDD+ for both carbon storage and local live- lihoods and the ability of the poor to participate in REDD+ design and im- plementation will depend on the existence and quality of structures to devolve funds and control and ownership of forest management to the community level (Chhatre and Agrawal 2009; Peskett et al. [...] Quality of Opportunities to Participate in REDD+ Governance The ability of forest people to take advantage of opportunities, in part via de- centralization and governance reform, and meaningfully participate in REDD+ and REDD+ governance will depend in part on the quality of the opportunities presented.
Book Synopsis Why REDD will Fail by : Jessica L. DeShazo
Download or read book Why REDD will Fail written by Jessica L. DeShazo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) attempts to address climate change from one angle – by paying developing countries to slow or stop deforestation and forest degradation. Trumpeted as a way to both mitigate climate change and assist countries with development, REDD was presented as a win-win solution. However, there have been few attempts to understand and analyse the overall framework. Why REDD Will Fail argues that the important goals will not be met under the existing REDD regime unless the actual drivers of deforestation and forest degradation are diminished. The book delves into the problematic details of the regime, ranging from; national capacity to monitor results, the funding mechanism, the definition of a forest, leakage, and the impetus behind the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. As the international community rallies around REDD and developed countries and companies are willing to commit substantial amounts to implement the scheme, this books seeks to address whether REDD has the potential to achieve its purported goals. This is an important resource for academics and students interested in the policy and management aspects of mitigating climate change, environmental policy, international relations and development studies as well as policy makers involved in the REDD process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DRC has committed to reduce its emissions effectively, efficiently, and equitably from deforestation and degradation (REDD+). The country experiences complex relationships between drivers, agents, and institutions of deforestation nationally. The REDD+ policy arena is influenced by both governmental and non-governmental actors whose number have increased in the policy arena over the years; however, weak coordination among these actors remains an issue. Since 2009, the DRC has announced several reforms relating to land tenure, land-use planning and agricultural policy, to create an institutional environment that motivates the implementation of REDD+ in the DRC. By 2019, none of these reforms had materialized, due to both political changes and a lack of finance, capacity, and political will. Between 2013 and 2019, little progress has been made on REDD+ in the DRC, as a result of conflicting interests among actors both at national and decentralized levels; information asymmetry; elite capture and corruption; and the pre- and post-election situation. To date, the effectiveness of REDD+ activities in the DRC remain unclear, due to the absence of rigorous impact assessment. However, efforts can be observed on the field where there is increased number of participants to forest policy process compared to REDD+ early years; and several ongoing projects are testing policy options within and across levels. If these efforts are sustained, they can contribute in putting in place conditions to achieve REDD+ objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a cohesive collection of contributions representing an African scholarly voice on some of the most burning and emerging topics and experiences regarding the implementation of REDD+ in Africa from a human rights perspective. It addresses the international human rights obligations of states and non-state actors in the context of REDD+ implementation in Africa; how current practices in various African states reinforce or affect human rights standards; and critical issues concerning the rights of vulnerable groups such as women, Indigenous populations, and forest dwellers in the implementation of REDD+ in Africa. Further, it investigates potential gaps in the existing laws, and how they can be addressed from a comparative point of view. The book also sheds light on the roles that different actors can play in fostering change and identifies best practices in the implementation of REDD+ in Africa. The book offers a rich intellectual resource for various actors in the environmental science, climate and environmental law fields who are often confronted with the challenge of how to manage the delicate balance of forests as a development resource; forests as a climate-change mitigation resource; and forests as a catalyst for the rights of vulnerable populations. The book responds to the imbalance and gaps in REDD+ scholarship. Addressing such lacuna in an edited volume of this nature is essential to the present and future work of practitioners, academics and other actors with a sustained interest in REDD+ in Africa.

Download or read book Tenure in REDD written by Lorenzo Cotula and published by IIED. This book was released on 2009 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As new mechanisms for "reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation" (REDD) are being negotiated in international climate change talks, resource tenure must be given greater attention. Tenure over land and trees--the systems of rights, rules, institutions and processes regulating their access and use--will affect the extent to which REDD and related strategies will benefit, or marginalise, forest communities. This report aims to promote debate on the issue. Drawing on experience from seven rainforest countries (Brazil, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guyana, Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea), the report develops a typology of tenure regimes across countries, explores tenure issues in each country, and identifies key challenges to be addressed if REDD is to have equitable and sustainable impact.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Climate Change Mitigation on Indigenous and Forest Communities by : Maureen F. Tehan
Download or read book The Impact of Climate Change Mitigation on Indigenous and Forest Communities written by Maureen F. Tehan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international legal framework for valuing the carbon stored in forests, known as 'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation' (REDD+), will have a major impact on indigenous peoples and forest communities. The REDD+ regime contains many assumptions about the identity, tenure and rights of indigenous and local communities who inhabit, use or claim rights to forested lands. The authors bring together expert analysis of public international law, climate change treaties, property law, human rights and indigenous customary land tenure to provide a systemic account of the laws governing forest carbon sequestration and their interaction. Their work covers recent developments in climate change law, including the Agreement from the Conference of the Parties in Paris that came into force in 2016. The Impact of Climate Change Mitigation on Indigenous and Forest Communities is a rich and much-needed new contribution to contemporary understanding of this topic.
Book Synopsis Carbon Conflicts and Forest Landscapes in Africa by : Melissa Leach
Download or read book Carbon Conflicts and Forest Landscapes in Africa written by Melissa Leach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amidst the pressing challenges of global climate change, the last decade has seen a wave of forest carbon projects across the world, designed to conserve and enhance forest carbon stocks in order to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation and offset emissions elsewhere. Exploring a set of new empirical case studies, Carbon Conflicts and Forest Landscapes in Africa examines how these projects are unfolding, their effects, and who is gaining and losing. Situating forest carbon approaches as part of more general moves to address environmental problems by attaching market values to nature and ecosystems, it examines how new projects interact with forest landscapes and their longer histories of intervention. The book asks: what difference does carbon make? What political and ecological dynamics are unleashed by these new commodified, marketized approaches, and how are local forest users experiencing and responding to them? The book’s case studies cover a wide range of African ecologies, project types and national political-economic contexts. By examining these cases in a comparative framework and within an understanding of the national, regional and global institutional arrangements shaping forest carbon commoditisation, the book provides a rich and compelling account of how and why carbon conflicts are emerging, and how they might be avoided in future. This book will be of interest to students of development studies, environmental sciences, geography, economics, development studies and anthropology, as well as practitioners and policy makers.

Download or read book Realising REDD+ written by Arild Angelsen and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REDD+ must be transformational. REDD+ requires broad institutional and governance reforms, such as tenure, decentralisation, and corruption control. These reforms will enable departures from business as usual, and involve communities and forest users in making and implementing policies that a ect them. Policies must go beyond forestry. REDD+ strategies must include policies outside the forestry sector narrowly de ned, such as agriculture and energy, and better coordinate across sectors to deal with non-forest drivers of deforestation and degradation. Performance-based payments are key, yet limited. Payments based on performance directly incentivise and compensate forest owners and users. But schemes such as payments for environmental services (PES) depend on conditions, such as secure tenure, solid carbon data and transparent governance, that are often lacking and take time to change. This constraint reinforces the need for broad institutional and policy reforms. We must learn from the past. Many approaches to REDD+ now being considered are similar to previous e orts to conserve and better manage forests, often with limited success. Taking on board lessons learned from past experience will improve the prospects of REDD+ e ectiveness. National circumstances and uncertainty must be factored in. Di erent country contexts will create a variety of REDD+ models with di erent institutional and policy mixes. Uncertainties about the shape of the future global REDD+ system, national readiness and political consensus require exibility and a phased approach to REDD+ implementation.
Book Synopsis REDD Deployment Within the Ethiopian Forestry Sector by : J. Diels

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is considered as one of the biggest challenges of this time, demanding urgent global response. The forestry sector plays an important role in the climate change debate as it accounts for about 17% of the global green house gas emissions. Because most developing countries have limited resources (socially, technologically and financially) to adapt to climate change, they are the most vulnerable to its effects. Africa, and in particular Ethiopia, is especially vulnerable to climate variability and change, because it has to cope with multiple stresses and has a low adaptive capacity to environmental and social change. Moreover, Ethiopia is faced with a high degree of deforestation and forest degradation. In 2007 the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change introduced the REDD+ policy as a measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support developing countries in their efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation with additional attention to conservation and sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. It is based on the assumption that forests are only likely to contribute to climate change mitigation if their value increases to a level that makes the protection of forests consistent with socio-economic development strategies. Even though REDD+ is not formally adopted so far and is therefore not yet legally binding, in several countries REDD initiatives are emerging. Moreover, already some international systems for climate payments exist, such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Also Ethiopia is actively involved in the climate change debate. A CDM project has been launched and a REDD+ preparedness programme has been initiated. Also a regional REDD program is currently running. However there is still much uncertainty about how the Ethiopian forestry sector can incorporate climate concerns. To enable a proper implementation of REDD+ in Ethiopia, it is important to have a good understanding about different forestry development options in the country. In a recent effort to identify possible forestry futures, four scenarios were identified on basis of two components that affect the forestry sector. The two components are economic policy and political governance. By combining the two components, four forestry scenarios were identified: 1. Miserable forestry: This scenario can be characterized as Business-As-Usual scenario. It is based on the assumption that the current policy regime continues. The scenario describes a situation in which forest management is highly controlled by the state and decisions are made centrally. The rural economy policy is agricultural based with forestry being of minor importance. 2. Social forestry: In this scenario the rural economy policy is still agricultural based. However the governance system is decentralized, which provides forest dependent people with more secure tenure rights. 3. Economic forestry: In this scenario the economy is moving towards a liberal system and the government systems is decentralized allowing more regional and local authority. This stimulated the development of forestry as an economic enterprise. 4. Forestry in transition: Also this scenario is based on the development of a more liberal economy, resulting in an increase of private sector investments. However, land-use policies are still dominated by the central government and forests remain owned and managed by the state.
