Transforming REDD+
Constructive critique. This book provides a critical, evidence-based analysis of REDD+ implementation so far, without losing sight of the urgent need to reduce forest-based emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change. REDD+ as envisioned
Capacity development in national forest monitoring
The development of a system for forest monitoring and measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) is an on-going priority and challenge for REDD+ countries. Although many countries already have some form of national forest monitoring in place, the existing capacity often falls short of the level required to participate fully in REDD+. In this context, a group of experts from around the world met in September 2012 to share their experiences and to discuss some of the central and at times controversial issues for national forest monitoring readiness and REDD+.
Translating Technology in Africa. Volume 1: Metrics
Translating Technology in Africa brings together authors from different disciplines who engage with Science and Technology Studies (STS) to stimulate curiosity about the diversity of sociotechnical assemblages on the African continent. The contributions provide detailed praxeographic examinations of technologies at work in postcolonial contexts. The series of 5 volumes aims to catalyse the development of a field of research that is still in its infancy in Africa and promises to offer novel insights into past, present, and future challenges and opportunities facing the continent. The first volume, on "Metrics", explores practices of quantification and digitisation. The chapters examine how numbers are aggregated and how the resulting metrics shape new realities. Contributors include Kevin. P. Donovan, Véra Ehrenstein, Jonathan Klaaren, Emma Park, Helen Robertson, René Umlauf and Helen Verran

Land Tenure Security and Sustainable Development
This open access book presents a nuanced and accessible synthesis of the relationship between land tenure security and sustainable development. Contributing authors have collectively worked for decades on land tenure as connected with conservation and development across all major regions of the globe. The first section of this volume is intended as a standalone primer on land tenure security and its connections with sustainable development. The book then explores key thematic challenges that interact directly with land tenure security, followed by a section on strategies for addressing tenure insecurity. The book concludes with a section on new frontiers in research, policy, and action. An invaluable reference for researchers in the field and for practitioners looking for a comprehensive overview of this important topic. This is an open access book.
REDD+ : la transformation
Critique constructive. Cet ouvrage propose une analyse critique de la mise en œuvre de la REDD+ jusqu'à présent, étayée par des données scientifiques, sans perdre de vue le besoin urgent de réduire les émissions forestières pour éviter des catastrophes liées au changement climatique.Tester la REDD+ à grande échelle : une nécessité. Élément innovant de la REDD+, le paiement basé sur les résultats a rarement été testé jusqu'ici. Qu’ils soient publics ou privés, les financements internationaux restent maigres, et la demande via les marchés du carbone fait défaut.Des conditions plus favorables dans les pays. Plus de 50 pays ont inclus la REDD+ dans leurs contributions ...
Handbook of International Climate Finance
The concept of international climate finance channelled from developed to developing countries through public interventions for mitigation and adaptation has been developed over the last decade, but its roots date back to the early 1990s. Despite the high relevance of the topic in the international climate negotiations, illustrated by the (missed) target to mobilise USD 100 billion by 2020, there is no book that provides an overview accessible to academics and practitioners alike.

Este libro proporciona un análisis crítico basado en evidencia de la implementación de REDD+ hasta el momento, sin perder de vista la urgente necesidad de reducir las emisiones relacionadas con los bosques para prevenir el catastrófico cambio climático.La necesidad de probar REDD+ a escala. El pago por resultados, la característica innovadora de REDD+, no se ha probado extensamente. El financiamiento internacional (tanto público como privado) sigue siendo escaso, y la demanda de los mercados de carbono es insuficiente.Mejores condiciones habilitadoras nacionales. Más de 50 países han incluido a REDD+ en sus Contribuciones Determinadas a Nivel Nacional y sus es...

This is the first book devoted entirely to summarizing the body of community-engaged research on environmental justice, how we can conduct more of it, and how we can do it better. It shows how community-engaged research makes unique contributions to environmental justice for Black, Indigenous, people of color, and low-income communities by centering local knowledge, building truth from the ground up, producing actionable data that can influence decisions, and transforming researchers’ relationships to communities for equi...
