Sustainable Development and Forest-related German Development Cooperation: Discourses, Mindsets, and Practice
Author: Reiner Buergin

Pages :
Book Description
Abstract: In the context of the guiding principle 'sustainable development', environmental protection, economic development, and social justice are conceptualized as converging and mutually supportive objectives, which require integrated approaches and ensure synergies. Environment and development politics, in practice, are fraught with diverging interests, goal conflicts and trade-offs regarding the different objectives, as well as competing approaches and incalculable impacts of measures. Based on a study of forest-related German development cooperation in Indonesia, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this article explores interdependencies between discursive framings and the practice of environment and development politics, with a focus on unequal weightings of ecological, economic, and social objectives as well as different strategic approaches. To capture different discursive positions and conceptualize the interrelation between discourse and practice, the mindsets 'regulation', 'competition', and 'empowerment' are distinguished. These cognitive frames, coined by different positions at the discursive level, guide perceptions, assessments, and action at the level of individual actors, and co-determine the practice of environment and development politics. Their impact has to be considered in order to devise development cooperation in a more reflective and deliberative way

Governing Africa's Forests in a Globalized World
Author: Laura Anne German
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136545514
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

Realising REDD+
Author: Arild Angelsen
Publisher: CIFOR
ISBN: 6028693030
Category : Climatic changes
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
REDD+ must be transformational. REDD+ requires broad institutional and governance reforms, such as tenure, decentralisation, and corruption control. These reforms will enable departures from business as usual, and involve communities and forest users in making and implementing policies that a ect them. Policies must go beyond forestry. REDD+ strategies must include policies outside the forestry sector narrowly de ned, such as agriculture and energy, and better coordinate across sectors to deal with non-forest drivers of deforestation and degradation. Performance-based payments are key, yet limited. Payments based on performance directly incentivise and compensate forest owners and users. But schemes such as payments for environmental services (PES) depend on conditions, such as secure tenure, solid carbon data and transparent governance, that are often lacking and take time to change. This constraint reinforces the need for broad institutional and policy reforms. We must learn from the past. Many approaches to REDD+ now being considered are similar to previous e orts to conserve and better manage forests, often with limited success. Taking on board lessons learned from past experience will improve the prospects of REDD+ e ectiveness. National circumstances and uncertainty must be factored in. Di erent country contexts will create a variety of REDD+ models with di erent institutional and policy mixes. Uncertainties about the shape of the future global REDD+ system, national readiness and political consensus require exibility and a phased approach to REDD+ implementation.
