Abstract:
The low-carbon urban construction is an important carrier of the energy saving and emmission reduction,which will lead to an new trend of future city construction.while regarded as the important component of low-carbon construction, low-carbon ecology community will promote city sustainable development. And it is characteristic of the naturalness, economy and sociality. Based on present situation of chinese ecology community construction, some strategies are presented, incuding that the first is urban planning at macro-level; the second is spatial plan, transportation system, service facilities and green space system at medium measure; the third is water environment plan, energy plan, architectural design from at micro level; the fourth is community housing structure and public participation from social policies.

Abstract:
Human welfare is increasingly affected by the climate change impacts where more scientific evidence has pointed to a significant human contribution as the most contributing factors. Lately, the concept of ‘carbon-capability’ has been proposed recently to get the relative meanings related to carbon and individual power and enthusiasm to cut emissions. Thus, this paper aims to present a review ofthe theoretical framework and identifies the need for more specific components underlying the community carbon-capability. This study analyzes by using content analysis and based in part on related earlier study. The paper concludes thatcommunity carbon-capability framework's ability to help in reducing climate change impactsand highlighted the vital to understanding community engagement with overall climate change issues in Malaysia.

Full text
Abstract:
The challenge of facilitating a shift towards sustainable housing, food and mobility has been taken up by diverse community-based initiatives ranging from "top-down" approaches in low-carbon municipalities to "bottom-up" approaches in intentional communities. This paper compares intervention measures in four case study areas belonging to these two types, focusing on their potential of re-configuring daily housing, food, and mobility practices. Taking up critics on dominant intervention framings of diffusing low-carbon technical innovations and changing individual behavior, we draw on social practice theory for the empirical analysis of four case studies. Framing interventions in relation to re-configuring daily practices, the paper reveals differences and weaknesses of current low-carbon measures of community-based initiatives in Germany and Austria. Low-carbon municipalities mainly focus on introducing technologies and offering additional infrastructure and information to promote low-carbon practices. They avoid interfering into residents¿ daily lives and do not restrict carbon-intensive practices. In contrast, intentional communities base their interventions on the collective creation of shared visions, decisions, and rules and thus provide social and material structures, which foster everyday low-carbon practices and discourage carbon-intensive ones. The paper discusses the relevance of organizational and governance structures for implementing different types of low-carbon measures and points to opportunities for broadening current policy strategies.

Abstract:
Despite claims by academics and policymakers that community may offer a potentially useful context through which to tackle climate change, there is limited empirical evidence to support such an assertion. This thesis sets out to address that gap. Drawing on theories of the governance of environmental change, community, social interaction, and governmentality, it presents a qualitative case-study of the Low Carbon Communities Challenge (LCCC). The LCCC was a United Kingdom government funded policy experiment intended to develop understandings of how to deliver the transition to low carbon living at the community level. The thesis highlights a conflict between the instrumental understanding of community as a delivery-mechanism for government policy on environmental change, and the normative understanding of community based on social relations and identification with place held by residents in the communities studied. Applied instrumentally, community offered participants a largely ineffective mechanism by which to alter the social dynamics and patterns of normal behaviour within their households towards low(er) carbon lifestyles. Viewed narrowly through the stated purpose of the LCCC, it could be interpreted as a failed experiment as a result of the resistance of community members to adopting the carbon-conscious subjectivity imposed on them. However the thesis suggests that from a governmentality perspective, an alternative interpretation is that the LCCC served to reinforce neoliberal rationality which contends that community is not capable of tackling climate change and that the market, which may in turn appropriate community, is the only way forward. The thesis concludes by setting out a number of practical and conceptual implications for future research, and outlines the beginnings of a new, critical research agenda into the role of community in tackling climate change.

Rooted deep in Germany's past is its modern socio-political grounding for environmental respect and sustainability. This translates into individual and collective action and extends equally to the economic and policy realm as it does to educational institutions. This thesis evaluates research conducted in Germany with a view to what best approaches are transferable to the United States liberal arts setting. Furthermore, exemplary American models of institutional sustainability and environmental education are explored and combined with those from abroad to produce a blueprint and action plan fitting for the American college and university.

Abstract:
Le changement climatique est devenu aujourd’hui le fléau environnemental qui préoccupe etmobilise le plus la communauté internationale. L’aboutissement de cette mobilisation générale reste sansdoute la mise en place du régime international de lutte contre le changement climatique dont la Conventioncadredes Nations Unies sur le changement climatique et le Protocole de Kyoto constituent les basesjuridiques. Ce régime innove en ce qu’il fixe des engagements quantifiés de réduction des émissions de gaz àeffet de serre pour les États pollueurs, mais aussi en ce qu’il instaure des mécanismes dits de « flexibilité »dont la mise en oeuvre est assortie d’un contrôle original basé sur un Comité dit de « l’observance ». Mais, endépit de toute cette production normative, il est regrettable de constater aujourd’hui que le régimeinternational du climat est un véritable échec. En effet, si la mobilisation des États ne fait aucun doute, enrevanche, les mêmes États qui ont volontairement accepté de s’engager refusent délibérément d’honorer leursengagements pour des raisons essentiellement politiques, économiques et stratégiques. Ce travail ambitionnedonc de lever le voile sur les causes de cet échec en dressant un bilan mitigé de la première périoded’engagement de Kyoto qui a pris fin en 2012, et propose des perspectives pour un régime juridique duclimat post-Kyoto efficient et efficace, en mesure d’être à la hauteur des enjeux
Climate change has become the scourge environmental concern and mobilizes more theinternational community. The outcome of this mobilization remains probably the implementation ofinternational climate change regime for which the Climate Convention and the Kyoto Protocol are the legalbases. This system is innovative in that it sets quantified emission reduction commitments for greenhouse gasemissions (GHG) for polluters States, but also in that it establishes mechanisms known as of “flexibility”whose implementation is accompanied by a control based on a Committee known as of “compliance”. Butdespite all this normative production, it is regrettable that today the international climate regime is a realfailure. Indeed, if the mobilization of states is no doubt, however, the same states that have voluntarily agreedto engage deliberately refuse to honour their commitments for essentially political, economic and strategicreasons. This work therefore aims to shed light on the causes of this failure by developing a mixed record ofthe first Kyoto commitment ended period in 2012, and offers prospects for a legal regime of the post-Kyotoclimate and efficient, able to be up to the challenges

In recent years, with in technology advances, and increasing resource consumption, pollutants emissions from the manufacturing process into the environment not only leads to environmental degradation, resulting in more greenhouse effect, climate change and other environmental issues; to echoing the sustainable use of resources and the global carbon reduction trend, the Executive Yuan in 2009, "the Third National energy Conference" proposes to construct specific timetables of "low-carbon homes" will be divided into three stages to reach the goal. Expectations based of "low-carbon model community" and combine private resources and forces, progressively development to "low-carbon city" and "low-carbon living area," the vision of low-carbon homes and sustainable society. Low-carbon communities, also called carbon neutral community, which means in a community, the carbon emissions generated in all the activities, can be reduced to a minimum. This research through literature review will be divided low-carbon transformation into six kinds, namely eco-green, low-carbon and energy-efficient buildings, low carbon transport, recycling, renewable energy and low-carbon livin, deduction low-carbon life which can not be quantified calculated, this study model simulations five parts for each carbon reduction, in each part, put forward various carbon reduction initiatives, each has its implementation characteristics, according to a characteristic of the present study, and with the following types of community residents to be considered, the simulation results presented in accordance with community characteristics. Morphology of households in the community, will be separate by each characteristics in Taiwan, including the distribution area of the northern, central or southern; community location is located in the urban or rural communities; and residential patterns of pure residential, with industrial use and with commercial or service use to classify. According to the results of model, the effect of low carbon transport located in the city''s community residents is bigger than communities located in rural, but in the eco-green, effect in rural is bigger than in urban community; in southern area, sun-light in more than north area, also more favorable to development the solar water heaters; based consumption in different households types, also made different effect of energy-saving and low-carbon buildings, this study try to make recommendation of each household types for local governments to promote low-carbon communities policy reference, and incorporate the concept of the total amount of carbon reduction, hoping to influence the density of population and households is reflected in the results.

In recent years, due to people increased demand for recreation, and government supported to develop tourism, and the policy of opening Chinese visitors coming to Taiwan, led to many famous attractions are overcrowded. Community tourism has become a new tourist preferences , through community development projects or in rural communities towards renewable sustainable tourism development. It’s necessary for establishing the indicators of Low-carbon community tourism. The purpose of using systematic scientific research for establishing the indicators of Low-carbon community tourism, it is not only providing a self-assessment tool to low-carbon future intention toward tourism development community, but also as a reference for an environmental protection authorities and local government policies. Modified Delphi expert questionnaires (1-3 rounds), were used as a research method. The first round is semi-open questionnaire to collect indicators of experts and scholars on the ability of the proposed project. First, from literature review to create of low-carbon tourism-related indicators, including the entire community's carbon emissions will appear in the project. The industry, government and other scholar were investigated. The mean, mode, quartile deviation of the indicators were examined with SPSS 20.0 software tools, and finally examined its consistency. The 4th questionnaire is using the network Analytic Hierarchy Process (ANP) to investigate the findings from using Super Decisions software tools to analyze and discussed. Finally developed six dimensions, 24 indicators of community self-assessment questionnaire, and Pinglin District, New Taipei City. It measured by interviewing the community analysis questionnaire, and practically understanding of community self-assessment questionnaire on the implementation each indicator. The results will provide the government and community toward to the Low-carbon tourism development.

This study investigates processes and effects of policy implementation of the Low-Carbon Demonstration Community in Taichung from a policy-implementing perspective. After the implementation of the “Low-Carbon City Project- Establishing a Low-Carbon, Lively Home” was finalized in 2009, demonstration communities have gradually been established in northern, central, southern, and the east of Taiwan. During this process, the formations of the low-carbon demonstration communities have been complicating and full of challenges. Taichung, being the leader of the low-carbon demonstration cities and with its essential role, initiates the move of establishing low-carbon communities in the great central Taiwan. In the past, most research of low-carbon policies focused on quantitative studies of carbon reduction evaluation indexes and ecological-beneficial analyses. However, through literature reviews, this study discovers that the obstacle of policy-making lies in policies and policy implementations of local governments. In the view of this, the study adopted policy implementation theory and evidence-based practices to highlight the importance of implementation in policy process. Not only it investigates factors affecting policy implementations, this study also observes difficulties of policy implementations of local governments. Basing on literature analyses and in-depth interview as well as having the Taichung Low-Carbon Demonstration Community as an example, the study analyzes effects of policy process in five aspects, including perspectives of implementers, willingness of participants, policy resources, organizational partnerships, and environmental factors. The findings of this study are described as follows: 1. The low-carbon policy implementation model of Taiwan is a top-to-bottom decision model, with the central government being the authority of policy-making and resources allocation, linking the effectiveness of projects to perspectives of implementers. In which case, the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan decides on policy goals and the Taichung government and relevant divisions comply with resolutions of the central government and are responsible for policy implementations, having not much capabilities of project expansion.. 2. In addition, this study also observes the adequacy of policy resources. During the interviews, community representatives and academic experts raised their concerns of a lack of policy resources, that under the challenges of the fund distributions and the authority allocations , the communities may only achieve superficial low-carbon restructure and may not fulfill the goal of low-carbon restructure that is practical for everyday living.

Taipei County Government is anticipating to reduce the carbon dioxide emission amount and to reach the goal of “ twenty percent’s reduction in twenty years” through the “low carbon society” works in aspects of energy saving, green transportation, low-carbon living and resource recycling works, which will make the Taipei county to be the first low-carbon living city in the nation. However, Taipei county is the most populous administration region with the population of 3.8 millions, and there is a considerable gap between urban and rural areas. Therefore, we suggest planning it in a strategic point of view. The perspective of Bernard Boar (2001) in strategic planning is adopted in this research for analyzing the strategy planning of “low-carbon society” promulgated by Taipei County Hall. The main research methods in this report include literature research and in-depth interviews: Currently, the related literature reviews on “low carbon society” are mainly based on UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and Kyoto Protocol. In addition to the review on related literatures both from local and abroad, we also refer to the attachment one of Kyoto Protocol which provides useful policies and measures to guide the major international countries and cities to overcome the global warming problem on the specific practices. Furthermore, we also interview the local governor, central authority officers who are in charge of the related affairs, chief of agencies and project managers who are in charge of local enforcement of low carbon society policies, and all other operational officers, basic level implementation officer who are in charge of the related affairs and so forth to make sure the research is well considered in every aspects. In this research we find that: 1. It is more effective when local government promote the low carbon society works from “household commercial” and “transportation” department and it is also more productive when promoting with economy incentives. 2. The result of low carbon related policies implementation is depend on the determination of the local governor. 3. Local government should aim to foster people’s low carbon living habit in all activities. The main objective of low carbon policy promotion should lay in reducing the future carbon emissions. We suggest that: 1. The local government should strengthen the communication and interaction with Taipower to reach the win-win situation. 2. Legislation of “low carbon society” works and establishment of both central and local agencies to enforce the “low carbon society” related policies. 3. Economy incentives are the most effective way of promoting low carbon society works. Local government can foster people’s low carbon living habit through providing more economy incentives.

Climate change has become an important international issue. As an island country, Taiwan's implementation of low-carbon lifestyle and construction of low-carbon environment is an important means to cope with climate change. How to withstand natural disasters and adapt to climate change under limited resources has become a pressing issue. Therefore, this study makes an in-depth study on low-carbon lifestyle in island communities. To explore the relationship between community capacity and low-carbon lifestyle, place relationship and quality of life, and to find out the key factors to foster low-carbon lifestyle of community residents, and to improve their quality of life. This study took Magong city of Penghu as the research field and sampled the top ten neighbourhood units of Magong city population as the research object. After the issuance of the questionnaire, 403 valid questionnaires were collected, and the data were analyzed and discussed. Using structural equation model to analyze its behavior structure, the results show that community capacity has a direct impact on low-carbon lifestyle and place relationship, and indirect impact on quality of life through place relationship, which belongs to the complete intermediary; low-carbon lifestyle has a direct impact on place relationship, but also on quality of life through place relationship. The relationship has an indirect effect and is also a complete intermediary; the place relationship has a significant impact on the quality of life. The results show that there is a structural relationship among the four concepts of community capacity evaluation, low-carbon lifestyle, place relationship and quality of life. At the same time, it is found that community capacity and low-carbon lifestyle have no direct impact on the quality of life, and it needs to be through local relations to influence residents'evaluation of their quality of life.

Abstract:
The energy-Internet is a new energy supply method based on urban compact and densely populated community in a low-carbon city. The principle is to connect small energy generation stations and combined heat and power system (CHP) based on distributed energy technology and renewable energy into a network in the urban district. In this way, the cooling, heating and electricity could all back each other up. Each building of the community could collect the energy and then put that energy into the energy-internet to supply the heating and power to buildings. The power in the energy-internet could also be used for charging electric vehicles. So the energy use in the urban community would be basically self-sufficient. The energy generation stations in the energy-internet could be solar power, wind power, biomass cogeneration (including refuse power generation), household fuel cell, low-grade heat in rivers, lakes, urban sewage and soil. In this way, large-scale renewable energy and unused energy could be fully used and applied in a compact and dense community. If the energy-internet is suitable designed, the equipment capacity, energy consumption and CO2 emission of the community could be greatly reduced, energy efficiency could be optimized and improved and the heat island effect could also be alleviated. This article explores three major problems of the construction of energy internet and their solutions: namely, the location and layout of the energy station, the environmental economic dispatch model of the energy internet with power dispatching as an example, the optimal path design of hot water pipe network combined with graph theory and genetic algorithms.

Abstract:
Variety researches and developments have been performed in order to decrease the emission of carbon dioxides as known of major cause on global warming. The SMART study group has proposed a concept of the solution for the low carbon dioxides emission and the disaster-proof community cooperating with industries, academics and municipal offices. This concept is based on the distributed energy network as known as SMART grid technology proposed in 2004. The system consists of the micro-grid system with distributed energy and IT network securing the power supply apart from the power utility in case of emergency and disasters. The proposed SMART system has major three functions. The first is to provide the ability to use the renewable energy generated in the local community. The renewable energy is most expected one but the output is too fluctuating to use usually. The second is to provide the tools to cooperate with citizens. The advanced demand-side control can contribute to save the energy. The third is to prepare for the disaster as mentioned above.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the mid-1980s, the international community has controlled refrigerants that may damage the ozone layer and cause climate change based on several international agreements. In particular, the Montreal Protocol contributed to not only solving the ozone layer depletion problem but also limiting global warming. Given that the global demand for cooling would triple by 2050 and this rise would increase global greenhouse gas emissions significantly, the Montreal Protocol has expanded its regulatory scope to decarbonize the cooling sector through the adoption of the Kigali Amendment. Also, increasing interest in low-carbon cooling has driven the launch of various global initiatives to complement the international agreements and accelerate low-carbon cooling in developing countries. The experience of implementing the Montreal Protocol and its amendments suggests some lessons and insights for making the Kigali Amendment work well. First, each country should develop and enforce national policies aligned with international agreements. Second, financial and technical support mechanisms should be strengthened to facilitate developing countries’ compliance with the Kigali Amendment. Third, along with the improving energy efficiency of cooling, the substances that neither harm the ozone layer nor exacerbate climate change should be used as substitutes for hydrofluorocarbons. Last, the monitoring, reporting, and verification of controlled substances need to be strengthened.

Pinto de Moura, Maria Cecilia. Low-Carbon Pathways for Transportation: Ramping up vehicle electrification and phasing out petroleum. Union of Concerned Scientists, September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.47923/2022.14770.

Full text
Abstract:
We have an urgent need—and a unique opportunity—to profoundly transform the ways in which people and goods move around in the United States. A collaborative analysis led by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that using existing technologies, and at modest cost, we can achieve a zero-carbon, equitable transportation system by 2050. This transformation is made possible by phasing out petroleum and transitioning to low and zero-carbon fuels. This eliminates tailpipe emissions that endanger communities, and at the same time keeps our climate targets within reach. To get there, we need to rapidly electrify vehicle fleets; strengthen efficiency standards for both electric and internal-combustion engine vehicles; reduce emissions from the remaining liquid fuels in hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as aviation, shipping, and long distance road transportation; and enable communities to reduce or eliminate the need to drive. Achieving these goals will require a suite of forward-thinking policies and regulations at all administrative levels that are implemented with meaningful community engagement.

Potts, Tavis, and Rebecca Ford. Leading from the front? Increasing Community Participation in a Just Transition to Net Zero in the North-East of Scotland. Scottish Universities Insight Institute, December 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.57064/2164/19722.

Full text
Abstract:
n line with Scottish Net Zero targets and the national strategy for a Just Transition, the Northeast of Scotland is transforming towards a low carbon future with a number of high-profile industry and policy initiatives. With the region home to global energy companies and historical high levels of energy sector employment, the narrative on transition is predominantly framed within an industrial and technological context, including narratives on new opportunities in green jobs, green industrial development, technical innovation and new infrastructure to support energy transition. As the energy landscape shifts in the North-East of Scotland, the impacts will be felt most keenly in communities from shifts in employment to changes to local supply chains. It is important to note that Net Zero ambitions will also change the nature and structure of communities in the region, for those within a shifting oil and gas industry and those without. A just transition ensures that all voices are heard, engaged and included in the process of change, and that communities, including those who have benefited and those who have not, have a stake in determining the direction of travel of a changing society and economy of the North-east. As a result, there is a need for a community-oriented perspective to transition which discusses a range of values and perspectives, the opportunities and resources available for transition and how communities of place can support the process of change toward Net Zero. Social transformation is a key element of a just transition and community engagement, inclusion and participation is embedded in the principles laid down by the Just Transition Commission. Despite this high-level recognition of social justice and inclusion at the heart of transition, there has been little move to understand what a just transition means in the context of local communities in the NorthEast. This project aims to address this imbalance and promote the ability of communities to not only engage but to help steer net zero transitions. It seeks to uncover and build a stronger local consensus about the vision and pathways for civil society to progress a just transition in the Northeast of Scotland. The project aims to do this through bringing together civil society, academic, policy and business stakeholders across three interactive workshops to: 1. Empower NE communities to engage with the Just Transition agenda 2. Identify what are the key issues within a Just Transition and how they can be applied in the Northeast. 3. Directly support communities by providing training and resources to facilitate change by working in partnership. The project funding supported the delivery of three professionally facilitated online workshops that were held over 2021/22 (Figure 1). Workshop 1 explored the global principles within a just transition and how these could apply to the Scottish context. Workshop 2 examined different pathways and options for transition in the context of Northeast Scotland. Workshop 3, in partnership with NESCAN explored operational challenges and best practices with community participants. The outcomes from the three workshops are explored in detail.

Abstract:
In response to the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the IDB Group Board of Governors endorsed the target of increasing climate-related financing in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) from 15% in 2015 to 30% of the IDB Groups combined total approvals by 2020. Currently, the IDB Group is on track to meet this commitment, as in 2018, it financed nearly US$5 billion in climate-change-related activities benefiting LAC, which accounted for 27% of total IDB Groups annual approvals. In 2019, the overall volume and proportion of climate finance in new IDBG approvals have increased to 29%. As the IDB continues to strive towards this goal by using its funds to ramp-up climate action, it also acknowledges that tackling climate change is an objective shared with the rest of the international community. For the past ten years, strategic partnerships have been forged with external sources of finance that are also looking to invest in low-carbon and climate-resilient development. Doing this has contributed to the Banks objective of mobilizing additional resources for climate action while also strengthening its position as a leading partner to accelerate climate innovation in many fields. From climate-smart technologies and resilient infrastructure to institutional reform and financial mechanisms, IDB's use of external sources of finance is helping countries in LAC advance toward meeting their international climate change commitments. This report collects a series of insights and lessons learned by the IDB in the preparation and implementation of projects with climate finance from four external sources: the Climate Investment Funds (CIF), the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). It includes a systematic revision of their design and their progress on delivery, an assessment of broader impacts (scale-up, replication, and contributions to transformational change/paradigm shift), and a set of recommendations to optimize the access and use of these funds in future rounds of climate investment. The insights and lessons learned collected in this publication can inform the design of short and medium-term actions that support “green recovery” through the mobilization of investments that promote decarbonization.

Abstract:
How can education in Aotearoa New Zealand respond to climate change? This report, part of our wider education and climate change project, outlines findings from 17 in-depth interviews with individuals with a range of viewpoints about climate change and the role of education. Five priority perspectives are covered: youth (aged 16–25); educators; Māori; Pacific New Zealanders; and people with an academic, education system, or policy perspective. Key findings are: Education offers an important opportunity for diverse children and young people to engage in positive, solutions-focused climate learning and action. Interviewees shared local examples of effective climate change educational practice, but said it was often down to individual teachers, students, and schools choosing to make it a focus. Most interviewees said that climate change needs to be a more visible priority across the education system. The perspectives and examples shared suggest there is scope for growth and development in the way that schools and the wider education system in Aotearoa New Zealand respond to climate change. Interviewees’ experiences suggest that localised innovation and change is possible, particularly when young people and communities are informed about the causes and consequences of climate change, and are engaged with what they can do to make a difference. However, effective responses to climate change are affected by wider systems, societal and political structures, norms, and mindsets. Interviewee recommendations for schools, kura, and other learning settings include: Supporting diverse children and young people to develop their ideas and visions for a sustainable future, and to identify actions they can take to realise that future. Involving children and young people in collective and local approaches, and community-wide responses to climate change. Scaffolding learners to ensure that they were building key knowledge, as well as developing ethical thinking, systems thinking, and critical thinking. Focusing on new career opportunities and pathways in an economic transition to a low-carbon, changed climate future. Getting children and young people engaged and excited about what they can do, rather than disengaged, depressed, or feeling like they have no control of their future.

Securing Rights, Combatting Climate Change: How strengthening community forest rights mitigates climate change. Rights and Resources Initiative, August 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.53892/chet6628.

Full text
Abstract:
The international community agrees on the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. With 13 million hectares of forest cleared every year, such efforts are critical to curbing climate change before it reaches a dangerous tipping point. But we are missing a vital opportunity to combat climate change—strengthening the land and resource rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities whose well-being is tied to their forests. This publication analyzes the growing body of evidence linking community forest rights with healthier forests and lower carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. It presents a compelling case for expanding and strengthening community forest rights based on evidence drawn from comparative studies, advanced quantitative research, case studies, and original deforestation and carbon analyses by the World Resources Institute. The findings center on examples from 14 forest-rich countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Together, these countries contain about 323 million hectares of government-recognized community forest —68 percent of the estimated total in all low- and middle-income countries—as well as large areas of community forests without legal or official recognition. Our analysis focuses on the links between legal community forest rights (or lack thereof), the extent of government protection of those rights, and forest outcomes.
