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.

Winners And Losers
Author: Chris Hamnett
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135366748
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
First published in 1998. The growth of home ownership since the end of the Second World War marks one of the most fundamental social changes to have taken place in Britain. From being a nation of renters at the end of war, Britain has been converted into a nation of home-owners. In 1945 approximately 25% of households in Britain owned their own homes. Today the proportion is just over two-thirds. In the process, the proportion of households renting from private landlords has fallen from 65% to about 8%. As a result, the home ownership market in Britain plays a far more important role today than hitherto: both in housing the population and as a potential source of capital gains and losses. In addition, the home ownership market plays a significant role in the overall health of the economy. This is not to deny the importance of social and private rented housing or the major problems of homelessness. It is simply to assert that the home ownership market now affects two out of three households in Britain, and many more who wish to gain access to it. This book is about the dramatic booms and busts of the home ownership market in Britain during the last twenty years: and their causes and consequences both for the individuals involved and for the economy as a whole. It argues that the home ownership market in Britain, particularly in southern Britain, where the booms and slumps have been experienced most sharply, has been akin to a casino. There have been big winners, but there have also been big losers. The last thirty years have been a roller coaster ride for owners: exhilarating, but potentially highly dangerous, not least for those who fell off, or were thrown off, in the slump of the early 1990s.
