Indonesia's commitment to reducing land-based greenhouse gas
emissions significantly includes the expansion of conservation
areas, but these developments are not free of conflicts. This book
provides a comprehensive analysis of agrarian conflicts in the
context of the implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and forest carbon offsetting
in Indonesia, a country where deforestation is a major issue. The
author analyzes new kinds of transnational agrarian conflicts which
have strong implications for global environmental justice in the
REDD+ pilot province of Jambi on the island of Sumatra. The
chapters cover: the rescaling of the governance of forests;
privatization of conservation; and the transnational dimensions of
agrarian conflicts and peasants' resistance in the context of
REDD+. The book builds on an innovative conceptual approach linking
political ecology, politics of scale and theories of power. It
fills an important knowledge and research gap by focusing on the
socially differentiated impacts of REDD+ and new forest carbon
offsetting initiatives in Southeast Asia, providing a multi-scalar
perspective. It is aimed at scholars in the areas of political
ecology, human geography, climate change mitigation, forest and
natural resource management, as well as environmental justice and
agrarian studies. The Open Access version of this book, available
