A search for new methods for dealing with climate change led to
the identification of forest maintenance as a potential policy
option that could cost-effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
with the development of measures for Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This book explores how
an analysis of past forest governance patterns from the global
through to the local level, can help us to build institutions which
more effectively deal with forests within the climate change
regime. The book assesses the options for reducing emissions from
deforestation in developing countries under the international
climate regime, as well as the incentives flowing from them at the
national and sub national level and examines how these policy
levers change human behaviour and interface with the drivers and
pressures of land use change in tropical forests. The book
considers the trade-offs between certain forestry related policies
within the current climate regime and the larger goal of
sustainable forestry.
Based on an assessment of existing multi-level institutional
forestry arrangements, the book questions how policy frameworks can
be better designed in order to effectively and equitably govern the
challenges of deforestation and land degradation under the global
climate change regime. This book will be of particular interest to
students and scholars of Law and Environmental Studies.
