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.
