Avoided deforestation can be characterized as the use of
financial incentives to reduce rates of deforestation and forest
degradation, with much of the focus on forests in tropical
countries.
While avoided deforestation, as a policy issue, is not new, the
current debate in academic and policy circles on including it in
future climate change mitigation strategies such as the Clean
Development Mechanism is gathering pace ? and this debate is only
likely to intensify as negotiations continue over what should be
included in the successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol, which is
set to expire in 2012.
Up until now, however, the debate in terms of the scientific and
economic implications of avoided deforestation has not been brought
together. This book aims to bring together important research
findings in the area along with their policy implications, whilst
linking avoided deforestation to political economy as well as to
the latest developments in environmental and natural resource
economics.
