Controlling deforestation, which is responsible for about one-fifth
of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, has become a major tool in
the battle against global warming. An important new international
initiative - Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation (REDD) - provides economic incentives to forest users
to encourage preservation of trees. Nearly all Latin American
countries are introducing national REDD strategies and pilot
schemes. This insightful book raises questions over some of the
basic assumptions that underpin REDD policies in Latin America. It
raises doubts about whether sufficient account is being taken of
the complex social, economic, cultural and governance dimensions
involved, advocating a comprehensive 'social development' approach
to REDD planning. Forests and Climate Change is the first book to
comprehensively examine REDD policies across Latin America,
including a focus on social aspects. It will prove invaluable for
academics and postgraduate students in the fields of environmental
studies, environmental politics, geography, social planning, social
and environmental impact assessment, development studies, and Latin
American area studies. Policy makers, planners and practitioners
working on REDD at national and international levels (both official
and NGO sectors) will also find plenty of refreshing data in this
much-needed resource.
