REDD is being trumpeted as a way to both mitigate climate change and assist countries with development. It is also supposed to protect biodiversity and the rights of indigenous peoples by securing land tenure. There have been few attempts to understand and analyse the overall framework of REDD schemes and whether or not the actual drivers of deforestation and forest degradation will be diminished on a global scale. This book argues that these important goals will not be met under the existing REDD regime unless the actual drivers of deforestation and forest degradation are diminished.
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) attempts to address climate change from one angle – by paying developing countries to slow or stop deforestation and forest degradation. Trumpeted as a way to both mitigate climate change and assist countries with development, REDD was presented as a win-win solution. However, there have been few attempts to understand and analyse the overall framework.
Why REDD Will Fail argues that the important goals will not be met under the existing REDD regime unless the actual drivers of deforestation and forest degradation are diminished. The book delves into the problematic details of the regime, ranging from; national capacity to monitor results, the funding mechanism, the definition of a forest, leakage, and the impetus behind the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. As the international community rallies around REDD and developed countries and companies are willing to commit substantial amounts to implement the scheme, this books seeks to address whether REDD has the potential to achieve its purported goals.
This is an important resource for academics and students interested in the policy and management aspects of mitigating climate change, environmental policy, international relations and development studies as well as policy makers involved in the REDD process.
