Deforestation in tropical rainforest countries is one of the
largest contributors to human-induced climate change.
Deforestation, especially in the tropics, contributes around 20 per
cent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, and, in the case of
Indonesia, amounts to 85 per cent of its annual emissions from
human activities. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of
the emerging legal and policy frameworks for managing forests as a
key means to address climate change. The authors uniquely combine
an assessment of the international rules for forestry governance
with a detailed assessment of the legal and institutional context
of Indonesia; one of the most globally important test case
jurisdictions for the effective roll-out of 'Reduced Emissions from
Deforestation and Degradation' (REDD). Using Indonesia as a key
case study, the book explores challenges that heavily forested
States face in resource management to address climate mitigation
imperatives, such as providing safeguards for local communities and
indigenous peoples. This book will be of great relevance to
students, scholars and policymakers with an interest in
international environmental law, climate change and environment and
sustainability studies in general.
