Abstract:
The Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation mechanism is a policy instrument intended to achieve environmental conservation and utilization simultaneously. Recently, researchers have adopted ‘environmentality’, a theoretical approach that recognizes the different strategies for the ‘conduct of conduct’ embodied in environmental governance, to parse the diverse governing logics supporting Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation implementation. Thus far, use of this lens has focused predominantly on how Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation introduces new forms of environmentality, overlooking the pre-existing, context-specific approaches to governance on which the mechanism builds, and hence potentially overstating the novelty of its governance techniques. Challenging this dominant use of the environmentality lens, I further develop its critical potential by demonstrating how environmentality's temporal dimensions illuminate the shifts, continuities and disruptions in how environmental governance evolves over time. I do this by demonstrating how Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation builds on pre-existing forest governance interventions in Guyana and neighbouring Suriname. I argue that while Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation remains a global expression of neoliberal environmentality, it builds on a pre-existing sovereign environmentality established throughout the overlapping histories of Guyana and Suriname, draws on but also subverts context-specific truth environmentality in the spiritual relations of forest dependent communities with the forests, and is made palatable for resistant communities through disciplinary environmentality. In this way, these four forms of environmentality help to explain how Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation implementation in the two countries assumes its current character, while demonstrating how environmental projects work towards shaping the subjects of their governance.

Abstract:
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) in developing countries is a mechanism that allows industrialized countries to offset their emissions by purchasing carbon credits from developing countries, which reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation by avoiding such activities. The Government of Nepal is committed to REDD through reversing deforestation and forest degradation, conservation of existing forest and enhancing forest carbon stocks, while addressing livelihoods concerns at the same time since 2009 and now it has been flourished in the country along with concept of sustainable development of the forest resource of country. Nepal has undergone different stages during this process and has planned certain strategy for the future. The assemblages of the available information on REDD in Nepal is important to over view its holistic prospect, aspect and potentiality in the least developing country like Nepal which holds the greater possibility to be benefited from the REDD. Nepal is now in the process to prepare national REDD strategy by 2013 and there are different On Going REDD -Plus Piloting Initiatives in Nepal. Nepal has greater potentiality of being benefited from REDD though some policy related to it needed to be redefined and clarify.

Abstract:
Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the mechanism Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) has become an important option to create a financial value for the carbon stored in forests by reducing the emissions from forested lands. Thus far, many studies deal with the detectability of emissions resulting from deforestation. This study concentrates on the emissions and emission reductions from forest degradation. We show, based on data from the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization’s (FAO) Global Forest Resources Assessment 2010, the influence of uncertainties aligned to the estimation of emission reductions from forest degradation. On the example of three countries representing small to large forest areas and low to high carbon stocks, three different approaches for the inclusion of the uncertainties of estimates for two periods are analyzed. Furthermore, by simulating different sizes of areas where forest degradation takes place, the sensitivity of the estimated emission reductions with respect to the size of these areas is shown. The results of the study highlight the importance of identifying sound options of including uncertainties for different periods into a Measuring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system to avoid windfall profits from REDD. Moreover, it is demonstrated that an as accurate as possible identification of the areas where forest degradation takes place is decisive for the amount of REDD benefits achievable for a country.

Abstract:
Carbon emission increases at an early stage of industrial expansion as a transition from overdependence on agriculture. Such industrial transformation is heavily dependent on energy-intensive technologies. Moreover, the degree of environmental awareness is very low in developing countries. According to the Environmental Performance Index 2012, Nepal is among the strongest performer. A new international carbon trade mechanism, called ‘Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation’ (REDD), has been proposed to curb global Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emissions. Carbon trade entails the idea that industrialized countries pay developing countries to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. Nepal’s community forestry can reap benefits by participating in REDD, but it requires addressing a range of issues and challenges to mitigate underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation. Ultimately this type of program would encourage local people for conservation and sustainable use of forest resources.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v4i1.12181International Journal of Environment Volume-4, Issue-1, Dec-Feb 2014/15, page: 101-111

Abstract:
Deforestation and forest degradation due to land use, land cover change (LULCC) have become one of the prime contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, after fossil fuel combustion. Greenhouse gas emission from forestry is occurring in the atmosphere as a result of forest biomass combustion, forest fires and decomposition of deadwood materials. This is how increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is adding to the global warming and climate change. Many worldwide recognized studies have measured that forest ecosystems have the capacity to absorb more than 1/3rd of total carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which is the minimum requirement for keeping the atmospheric temperature under 2 °C by 2030. One of the commonly accepted methods for reducing carbon is carbon sequestration through forests. India has committed to capture 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 by enhancing forest and tree cover through 2030. To achieve this target, India has adopted REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) strategy which aims to mitigate climate change by enhancing forest carbon sequestration through incentivizing forest conservation. Furthermore, this strategy strives to address the drivers of forest degradation and deforestation and also provides a roadmap for forest carbon stocks enhancement and sustainable forest management through REDD+ actions. This study investigates REDD+ contribution against global warming and climate change in India through forest carbon sequestration.

Abstract:
There is a new international policy focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), as well as promoting forest conservation, the sustainable management of forests and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD-plus). The recent Conference of Parties meeting of 196 countries of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Cancun, Mexico (December 2010) was able to advance initiatives on REDD-plus even while there was limited progress on fossil fuel related aspects of an international climate change agreement. The Cancun meeting recognised that there was strong and broad support for REDD-plus and was able to agree to the development of a formal Mechanism under the UNFCCC for incentivizing REDD-plus activities. Implementing the Mechanism is another matter, and will require the development and coordination of country REDD-plus readiness and financing, including detailed consideration of country reference levels, measurement, reporting and verification methodologies, and sub-national and national program coordination.

Abstract:
Since 2005, negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have focused on deforestation in developing countries. These negotiations led to the global initiative Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), an incentive based program to provide finance and technical support to developing countries for mitigation initiatives in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sector. REDD+ has rapidly evolved into a complex array of policy reforms, initiatives and demonstration projects in approximately 60 countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa, funded primarily from multilateral climate funds and bilateral development assistance. Under UNFCCC rules and funding agreements, participating countries are required to develop national REDD+ strategies and actions, design funding and benefit distribution mechanisms, and develop robust measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems. In addition, governments should implement social and environmental safeguards, such as engaging with local communities and resolving tenure issues, improving governance in the forest sector, and protecting biodiversity. However, the international REDD+ framework is incomplete and it remains at the discretion of participating countries to initiate policies and activities that address local drivers of deforestation, and meet domestic priorities.

Indigenous Peoples and REDD+: A Critical Perspective / Indigenous Peoples' Biocultural Climate Change Assessment Initiative (IPCCA) / November 2014 / Public Political Ecology Lab
Executive Summary: REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in developing countries (REDD) and includes conservation, sustainable forest management and the enhancement of carbon stocks (the +). An international initiative negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), REDD+ has been proposed as a central strategy for mitigating climate change in forests. While advocates highlight the cost effectiveness and social and ecological co-benefits that can be generated through REDD+, many indigenous and forest dependent groups have expressed concerns about the potential effects of projects on their access to land and resources. This report identifies key issues facing indigenous and forest-dependent communities with respect to REDD, and is based on existing academic literature and more current reports by NGOs and indigenous organizations. We first lay out a brief history of REDD+, interrogate its key assumptions, and discuss major issues of concern. We then discuss REDD+ as it relates to indigenous peoples and forest-dependent communities. This is followed by a series of case studies of developing countries participating in REDD+. We conclude with a discussion of the principal elements for an alternative vision for REDD+ that takes seriously the rights of indigenous peoples. /
Resumen Ejecutivo REDD+ es acrónimo para Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (Reducir las Emisiones por Deforestación y Degradación de bosques) (en países en desarrollo). Incluye acciones para la conservación, el manejo sustentable de bosques y el aumento en los suministros de carbono (el +). Como una iniciativa internacional negociada bajo el United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático), REDD+ ha sido propuesto como una estrategia principal para mitigar el cambio climático en bosques. Aunque sus defensores enfatizan la eficacia financiera y los co-beneficios sociales y ecológicos que se pueden generar a través del REDD+, muchos grupos indígenas y de gente quien depende de bosques para su sustento tienen preocupaciones acerca de los posibles efectos de los proyectos sobre el acceso a la tierra y los recursos forestales. Este informe identifica los problemas principales que enfrentan las comunidades indígenas y gente dependiente de bosques con REDD. Está basado en la literatura académica existente y otros reportes actuales escritos por organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONGs) y organizaciones indígenas. Primero proveeremos una historia breve de REDD+, evaluaremos las suposiciones principales y discutiremos los problemas de mayor preocupación. Luego describiremos la relación entre REDD+ y los pueblos indígenas y comunidades dependientes de bosques. Esto será seguido por una colección de casos de estudio en los países en desarrollo que participan en REDD+. Concluiremos con una discusión de los elementos principales para una visión alternativa de REDD+ que toma en cuenta los derechos de los pueblos indígenas.

Abstract:
Forests in developing countries have the potential to contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change, promote biodiversity and support the livelihoods of rural, local people. Approximately one-fourth of such forests are under the control of local communities, which primarily manage forests for subsistence and to meet their livelihood needs. The trend of bottom-up community control is increasing through the adoption of decentralization reforms over the last 40 years. In contrast, the United Nations has introduced the top-down program, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) for the conservation and enhancement of forest carbon and the sustainable management of forest in developing countries. REDD+ incentivizes forest-managing communities to sequester carbon and reduce emissions. REDD+ has created hope for managing forests to mitigate climate change and has created fear that the new initiative may not be effective and may not ensure continuing forest-managing community benefits. However, little research has been conducted to answer these concerns. By taking nationally representative data from Nepalese community-managed forests (“forest commons"), I bring insights into whether and how these forests can contribute to REDD+ initiatives, particularly as they relate to carbon sequestration, biodiversity, equity in benefit sharing and collective action. My results indicated the highly variable carbon and biodiversity in the forest plots across the country, depicting the availability of space for additional growth in carbon storage and biodiversity conservation. My results also reflect the complex and varied relationships of carbon with different indices of biodiversity at the national level, across geographic and topographic regions, and in forests with varying canopy covers. Weak positive relationships between carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation indicate the possibility of synergies between carbon-forestry and biodiversity conservation. I also found that the formal community forestry program (CFP) has clearly positive impacts on biodiversity conservation and household-level equity in benefit sharing and a negative impact on carbon sequestration at the national level. However, disaggregated results of impacts of CFP on biodiversity, carbon and equity across geography, topography, forest quality and social groups display mixed results i.e., either positive or negative or neutral. I also identified that different drivers of collective action have different (i.e., positive, neutral, and negative) associations with carbon sequestration, which either supports or challenges established knowledge. In aggregate, my research indicates the potential of contribution by forest commons, and specially the CFP, to global environmental initiatives such as REDD+. It suggests that targeted, dedicated policies and programs to increase carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation and foster equity and collective actions are critical. In addition, my results also contribute to the growing literature on socio-ecological implications of forest commons that demonstrated the need of interdisciplinary research to understand human-nature relationships in the changing context.

Abstract:
Today, the Earth is facing climate change, a seemingly direct result of our greenhouse gas emissions. Around one-fifth of these emissions originate from land-use change, mainly deforestation, in the planet's densely forested and carbon-rich tropical regions. Addressing the drivers of deforestation will go a long way towards mitigating the costly and destructive impacts of climate change. In Central Africa's Congo Basin Forest, the second largest tropical forest in the world, deforestation is a result of poverty, unclear land tenure and inadequate environmental management. International coordination to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation, known as REDD, is still in the planning process. Any future REDD strategy that will address Central-African deforestation will have to integrate local preoccupations and realities, especially those of the indigenous inhabitants who have been living in the tropical forest for centuries. A holistic strategy that preserves the Congo Basin Forest whilst also protecting and furthering indigenous people's interests will ensure the sustainable development of the region and guarantee a durable reduction of deforestation, thus decreasing global CO2 emissions and man-made climate change whilst also reducing poverty. This thesis aims to design such a strategy; a tailor-made REDD plan for the highly biodiverse and carbon-dense tropical forests of the Sangha landscape (TNS), in south-east Cameroon. As of today, this area is under threat from increased logging and has not been subjected to a thorough and concrete REDD plan, thus underlining the unique contribution of this thesis. I shall first conduct a thorough literature review, examining the connection between tropical forests and climate change, the strengths and weaknesses of the REDD mechanism and the unique position of forest-dwelling indigenous people. These will provide the platform for the actual REDD strategy that I shall design in the latter part of this thesis. This thesis's main theoretical premise is that deforestation is driven by a fundamental and global market failure, and that REDD has the potential to reverse this trend, reduce poverty and mitigate climate change, if designed carefully, thus underlining the importance of planning balanced, holistic and area-specific strategies. The practical REDD strategy for the TNS proposed by this thesis will be based on the relatively successful Brazilian model of tenure reform in the Amazon rainforest.
Aujourd'hui, notre planète subit les changements climatiques, un résultat censément direct de nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Autour d'un cinquième de ces émissions proviennent de la déforestation dans les régions tropicales densément couvertes de forêts. S'intéresser aux sources de la déforestation est une étape importante vers l'atténuation des impacts coûteux et destructifs des changements climatiques. Dans la forêt du bassin du Congo en Afrique centrale, la deuxième plus grande forêt tropicale du monde, la déforestation est une conséquence de la pauvreté, d'un système de propriété foncière confus, d'un cadre institutionnel inapproprié et d'une gestion environnementale inadéquate. La coordination internationale pour réduire les émissions provenant de la déforestation et de la dégradation, connus sous le nom de REDD, est encore en phase de planification. Toute stratégie future REDD qui tentera de ralentir ou d'arrêter la déforestation en Afrique Centrale devra intégrer les préoccupations et réalités locales, particulièrement celles des habitants indigènes qui vivent dans la forêt tropicale depuis des siècles. Un projet global qui préserve la forêt du bassin du Congo tout en protégeant et promouvant les intérêts des peuples autochtones assurera le développement durable de la région et garantira une réduction durable de la déforestation, diminuant ainsi les émissions globales de CO2 et les changements climatiques causés par l'homme tout en réduisant la pauvreté. Ce mémoire vise à créer une telle stratégie, un plan REDD adapté aux spécificités du paysage Sangha (TNS) au sud-est du Cameroun, hautement riche en biodiversité et carbone. A ce jour, cette zone est menacée par l'augmentation de l'exploitation forestière et n'a pas été sujet à une étude approfondie et concrète d'une application REDD. Ceci constitue la contribution unique de cette thèse. Je vais d'abord entamer une revue approfondie de la littérature en analysant le lien entre les forêts tropicales et les changements climatiques, les forces et les faiblesses du mécanisme REDD et la position unique des peuples forestiers indigènes. Ceci constituera la base sur laquelle ma stratégie REDD se fondera en deuxième partie. La théorie principale sur laquelle s'appuie cette thèse est que la déforestation est due à un échec économique fondamental et global, et le REDD a le potentiel de renverser cette tendance, de réduire la pauvreté et d'atténuer les changements climatiques, s'il est conçu soigneusement. Ainsi s'impose l'importance de planifier des stratégies équilibrées, holistiques et secteurs-spécifiques. La stratégie REDD pour le TNS proposé par ce mémoire sera basé sur le modèle assez réussi de la reforme foncière au Brésil dans la forêt amazonienne.

Carbon offset is one type of flexibility mechanism in greenhouse gas emission trading schemes that helps nations meet their emission commitments at lower costs. Carbon offsets take advantage of lower abatement cost opportunities from unregulated sectors and regions, which can be used to offset the emissions from regulated nations and sectors. Carbon offsets can also meet multiple objectives; for example, the Clean Development Mechanism in the Kyoto Protocol encourages Annex I countries to promote low carbon sustainable projects in developing countries in exchange for carbon offsets. Alternatively, the costs under cap-and-trade policies are subjected to uncertainties due to uncertainties about technology, energy markets, and emissions. There are several cost-containment instruments to address cost uncertainties, such as banking, borrowing, safety valve, and allowance reserves. Although carbon offsets are verified to reduce expected compliance costs by providing a surplus of cheap allowances that can be used by Annex I countries to help meet their commitments, they have yet to be studied as a cost-containment instrument. Carbon offsets could potentially be a cost-containment instrument as purchasing carbon offsets during instances of high carbon price volatility could potentially provide some relief from high prices. This paper analyzes the effect of carbon offsets on carbon prices, specifically under carbon price uncertainty. I use carbon offsets from abatement activities that reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) as a case study example. My results show that carbon offsets reduce upside costs and thus can be an alternative cost-containment instrument, but cost-effectiveness can be limited by supply uncertainties, offset purchasing restrictions, emission target stringency and competition over demand. Carbon offsets, such as REDD, can serve as a flexibility instrument for developed nations, encourage global participation in reducing GHG emissions, and provide sustainable development support to developing nations.

Abstract:
The goal of quantifying the woody cover and biomass of tropical savannas, woodlands and forests using satellite data is becoming increasingly important, but limitations in current scientific understanding reduce the utility of the considerable quantity of satellite data currently being collected. The work contained in this thesis reduces this knowledgegap, using new field data and analysis methods to quantify changes using optical, radar and LiDAR data. The first paper shows that high-resolution optical data (Landsat & ASTER) can be used to track changes in woody vegetation in the Mbam Djerem National Park in Cameroon. The method correlates a satellite-derived vegetation index with field-measured canopy cover, and the paper concludes that forest encroached rapidly into savanna in the region from 1986-2006. Using the same study area, but with radar remote sensing data from 1996 and 2007 (ALOS PALSAR & JERS-1), the second paper shows that radar backscatter correlates well with field-measured aboveground biomass (AGB). This dataset confirms the woody encroachment within the park; however, in a larger area around the park, deforestation dominates. The AGB-radar relationships described above are expanded in the next paper to include field plots from Budongo Forest (Uganda), the Niassa Reserve (north Mozambique), and the Nhambita Community Project (central Mozambique). A consistent AGB-radar relationship is found in the combined dataset, with the RMSE for predicted AGB values for a site increasing by <30 %, compared with a site-specific equation, when using an AGB-radar equation derived from the three other sites. The study of the Nhambita site is extended in the following paper to assess the ability of radar to detect change over short time periods in this environment, as will be needed for REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation). Using radar mosaics from 2007 and 2009, areas known (from detailed ground data) to have been degraded decreased in AGB in the radar change detection, whereas areas of agroforestry and forest protection showed small increases.

Abstract:
Properly designed intergovernmental fiscal transfers (IFTs) offer an innovative instrument to create incentives for local public actors to support conservation. As conservation restricts local governments' capacity to generate revenues from alternative land-use activities, compensation to reconcile local costs with the benefits of conservation that reach beyond local boundaries is required. Whilst studies on IFTs for conservation have focused mainly on the distribution formula, this thesis comprehensively examines all elements of the design of IFTs, including conditionality and accountability. The thesis considers both the theoretical justifications and the wider political and administrative context in developing the design of IFTs for conservation. The case of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) revenues distribution in Indonesia is selected as the case study. The pragmatism paradigm, which incorporates both qualitative and quantitative methods, is adopted in this study. Policy analysis to develop policy options to address environmental problems should emphasise integration of the interpretivist and rationalist approaches. Decision makers need to define policy problems with the target groups, who often have contradictory values and beliefs; whilst simultaneously, environmental issues involve a great number of technical issues that require a rationalist approach. A multiple case studies approach is applied as the research strategy with two sample provinces, Riau and Papua. In-depth interviews with government officials reveal that a dynamic interaction between actors and their different interest determine the final decision on land-use activities. Several factors should therefore exist when transferring IFTs for REDD+ revenue distribution including, inter alia, voluntary participation of local governments in REDD+. Moreover, government officials perceive that conditionality of IFTs is preferred in conservation for political and administrative reasons. When the use of IFTs for conservation is left to political processes, there is a high possibility that the funds may be used for other development priorities. Earmarking is therefore important for IFTs, to compensate for the management and transaction costs of conservation; whilst, for opportunity costs, IFTs can be transferred with more flexibility for local governments to decide on the use of the funds. The opportunity cost analysis conducted in this study shows that REDD+ would lead to a substantial loss of public revenues at all government levels. Institutional and political (including informal benefits) may no longer be obtained if local government choose to pursue REDD+. The distribution of REDD+ revenue, using IFTs, needs to create a direct link between the distribution of public revenues and district governments' decisions on land-use activities. To determine the amount of IFTs to distribute REDD+ revenues, both the cost reimbursement and derivation approaches can be used. The cost reimbursement approach distributes IFTs just enough to cover the costs of REDD+, which vary between localities; whilst the derivation approach sets a fixed rate to determine the amount of IFTs and ignores the costs of REDD+. Finally, the successful implementation of IFTs will be determined by the technical capacity of local governments to manage public resources at the local level. Hence, designing IFTs for conservation should consider political and administrative factors within a complex bureaucratic environment.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the role of tenure in conditional incentives for ecosystem conservation, often known as PES or payment for ecosystem services. PES systems that mimic market exchange require that resource tenure be clear and uncontested. In practice, there are different levels of conditionality in PES and different types of tenure challenges. REDD+, or Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, was initially conceived as a PES system embedded in a global exchange of carbon credits, thus requiring secure forest tenure. We examine one global initiative to achieve that, the Dedicated Grant Mechanism for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. Cases in Peru and Indonesia illustrate how tenure interventions can both enable implementation of conditional incentives and become part of those incentives.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aims of this chapter are to seek answer, through a document review, case studies, and thematic content analysis, to which direction Southern Africa should take in the face of climate change and to suggest a framework for adaptations by communities experiencing climatic events. Acknowledging that the fundamental set of ideas provided by indigenous knowledge (IK) works best at a small scale, the chapter argues for the need to seriously value IK-based response practices in the knowledge hybridization agenda. The worsening vulnerability potentiated by the increasing magnitude and severity of climate change impacts is a reminder that local-based indigenous response practices in Africa need to be complemented. Adaptation to climate change calls for real and surreal measures all being applied in combination. Across Africa, these measures have, at times, included the preservation of forest resources which increased carbon sinking and enhanced community resilience against climate change. Universalistic and orthodox sciences have punctuated and amplified these efforts by speaking of such initiatives as mitigation and adaptation through programs, e.g., Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). The merits of the two approaches have resulted in increasing call among scholars for the merging of these programs with IK. However, it remains to be fully understood how such a hybrid approach could be operationalized without treating the latter as an inferior element in climate science discourses.

Abstract:
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is a voluntary international initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and to promote conservation and sustainable management of forests. It has significant implications for tenure rights, including for women. Although women use forests to support their own as well as their families’ livelihoods, they are frequently overlooked as key stakeholders. Women often face discrimination in resource management processes, largely through unequal, insecure, or unclear tenure rights. Hence, there is a significant risk that the implementation of REDD+ could exacerbate existing inequalities for women. Securing women’s tenure rights is fundamental, as tenure rights provide recognized rights-holders with the ability to be involved in and to benefit from the design and implementation of REDD+ activities.

Abstract:
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is an international initiative to mitigate climate change in the forest sector. It is intended to incentivize developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, as well as promote sustainable management of forests, and conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. REDD+ has significant implications for land and resource rights, and raises particular concerns for women. These concerns arise from discrimination that women already face in resource management processes, largely due to unclear, unsecure and unequal tenure rights. Women represent a large percentage of the world’s poor, and they are often directly dependent on natural resources. As a result, there are significant risks that REDD+ could exacerbate existing inequalities for women if it fails to respect women’s tenure rights. This paper makes a case for advancing women’s tenure rights and how international law can be used to promote those rights in the context of REDD+.
