This book analyses and develops overarching concepts for forest
policy and forest governance and includes a detailed investigation
into the historical discussion on forests. It examines
opportunities and limits for negative emissions in a sector that
– like peatlands – appears significantly less ambivalent
compared to highly technical large-scale forms of climate
geoengineering. The analysis shows that the binding climate and
biodiversity targets under international law are much more
ambitious than most people assume. Measured against that, the
volume critically reviews the potentials of afforestation and
reforestation for climate mitigation, which is often presented as
the new saviour to fulfil the commitments of the Paris Agreement
and to reach climate neutrality in the future. It becomes clear
that ultimately only biodiverse and thus resilient forests can
function as a carbon sink in the long term. The volume shows that
the existing European and international forest governance
approaches fail to comply with these targets and insights.
Furthermore, the book develops a bundle of policy measures.
Quantity governance systems for livestock farming, fossil fuels and
similar drivers of deforestations represent the most important
approach. They are most effective when not directly targeting
forests due to their heterogeneity but central damaging factors.
With regard to the dominant regulatory and subsidy-based governance
for forests we show that it remains necessary to supplement these
quantity governance systems with certain easily graspable and thus
controllable regulatory and subsidy regulations such as a
regulatory protection of old-growth forests with almost no
exceptions; extension of the livestock-to-land-ratio established in
organic farming to all farming; far-reaching restriction of
bioenergy use to certain residues flanked by import bans; and a
national and international complete conversion of all agricultural
and forest subsidies to “public money for public services” to
promote nature conservation and afforestation in addition to the
quantity control systems.
