Book Synopsis Selling Forest Environmental Services by : Joshua Bishop
Download or read book Selling Forest Environmental Services written by Joshua Bishop and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The risks posed by forest destruction throughout the world are highly significant for all. Not only are forests a critical source of timber and non-timber forest products, but they provide environmental services that are the basis of life on Earth. However, only rarely do beneficiaries pay for the goods and services they experience, and there are severe consequences as a result for the poor and for the forests themselves. It has proved difficult to translate the theory of market-based approaches into practice. Based on extensive research and case studies of biodiversity conservation, watershed protected and carbon sequestration, this book demonstrates how payment systems can be established in practice, their effectiveness and their implications for the poor.

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 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books 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 under REDD to reduce emissions from deforestation in developing countries in the context of other forest policies. 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.

Book Synopsis Forests and Rural Development by : Jürgen Pretzsch
Download or read book Forests and Rural Development written by Jürgen Pretzsch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the complex challenges and opportunities related to forest-based rural development in the tropics and subtropics. Applying a socio-ecological perspective, the book traces the changing paradigms of forestry in rural development throughout history, summarizes the major aspects of the rural development challenge in forest areas and documents innovative approaches in fields such as land utilization, technology and organizational development, rural advisory services, financing mechanisms, participative planning and forest governance. It brings together scholars and practitioners dealing with the topics from various theoretical and practical angles. Calling for an approach that carefully balances market forces with government intervention, the book shows that forests in rural areas have the potential to provide a solid foundation for a green global economy.

Book Synopsis Financing the Global Benefits of Forests by : J. Gabriel Campbell
Download or read book Financing the Global Benefits of Forests written by J. Gabriel Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1991 until June 1999, the World Bank took on the implentation of 162 projects with grant funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). 44 of these are classified as forest projects. These projects represent a significant proportion of the Bank's forest sector portfolio and play an important role in the Bank's implementation of the 1991 Forest strategy. This GEF portfolio is one component of this review of the 1991 forest strategy and its implementation. The review is based on an examination of a number of reports and studies and on interviews with Bank project task managers and with GEF specialists in the NGO and donor communities. Country officials were also interviewed and the review draws on six case country studies. The report recommends that the Bank's partnership with the GEF for sustainable conservation of the world's forest biodiversity is expanded, with more strategically developed realistic goals and more innovative approaches. Impact needs to be expanded through increased policy and legislative reform, new forms of financing and engagement with the private sector, including the logging industry.The critical role of the NGOs in mobilising public support and developing innovative models should be supported through more appropriate funding mechanisms. The Bank's comparative advantage in analytical work and investment leverage should be captured through expanding the trend towards incorporating GEF projects in larger strategic programs to address the powerful threats and opportunities for biodiversity conservation emerging from other, linked sectors.
Book Synopsis Incentivizing Conservation of de facto Community-Owned Forests by : Daan van Soest
Download or read book Incentivizing Conservation of de facto Community-Owned Forests written by Daan van Soest and published by . This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Payments for environmental services are a nature conservation policy in which landowners receive financial compensation conditional on verified environmental service delivery. Contracts for payments for environmental services have been found to be effective in inducing conservation on private lands, but they may give rise to strong free-riding incentives when implemented on lands that are, de facto or de jure, commonly owned. This study implemented a randomized controlled trial in arid Burkina Faso to test the relative effectiveness of two collective payment for environmental services schemes in inducing forest conservation - a linear group payment scheme, in which group payments increase linearly with tree survival rates, and a threshold group payment scheme. The extant theory predicts that the latter incentive mechanism will (weakly) outperform the former. This paper develops a new theory that shows that the reverse may also hold - but only if the relationship between effort and tree survival rates is very uncertain. The findings show that threshold group payments increase intermediate measures of cooperation, but - consistent with Burkina Faso's harsh conditions rendering tree survival quite stochastic - actual survival rates are higher with the linear group payments. The paper presents field experimental evidence as well as lab experimental results to explore the mechanisms giving rise to these results.

Download or read book The World Bank Forest Strategy written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses progress since the World Bank first issued its comprehensive Forest Strategy in 1991. It finds that the effectiveness of the strategy has been modest, and the sustainability of its impact is uncertain. The Report identifies seven factors that would make the World Bank forest strategy more pertinent to current circumstances as well as strengthening its ability to achieve its strategic objectives in the forest sector. It recommends that the World Bank use its global reach to address mechanisms for mobilisation of concessional international resources outside its normal lending activities. It also advises the World Bank to be proactive in establishing partnerships with all relevant stakeholders, governments, the private sector, and civil society to meet both its country and global roles. The focus on primary tropical moist forests should be broadened to include all types of natural forests of national and global value. The report suggests that illegal logging needs to be reduced through the promotion of improved governance and enforcement. Other recommendations are to give consideration to forest issues in all relevant sector activity and macroeconomic work, address the employment needs of all poor people while continuing to protect the rights of indigenous people, and to realign the World Bank resources with their objectives in the forest sector.
