Schlamadinger, B.[A synopsis of land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) under the Kyoto Protocol and Marrakech Accords]A synopsis of land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) under the Kyoto Protocol and Marrakech Accords

Humans utilise about 40% of the earth's net primary production (NPP) but the products of this NPP are often managed by different sectors, with timber and forest products managed by the forestry sector and food and fibre products from croplands and grasslands managed by the agricultural sector. Ot...

Putz, F.E.Zuidema, P.A.Pinard, M.A.Boot, R.G.A.Sayer, Jeffrey A.Sheil, DouglasSist, P.Vanclay, J.K.[Improved tropical forest management for carbon retention]Improved tropical forest management for carbon retention

The authors studied the Noel Kempff Mercado Climate Action Project (NKMCAP), Bolivia, to assess whether forest protection carbon (C) projects can significantly benefit local people. They hypothesized that forest protection can only securely deliver C if significant stakeholders are meaningfully a...


Asquith, N.M.Vargas Rios, M.T.Smith, J.[Can forest carbon projects improve rural livelihoods?: analysis of the Noel Kempff Mercado Climate Action Project, Bolivia]Can forest carbon projects improve rural livelihoods?: analysis of the Noel Kempff Mercado Climate Action Project, Bolivia

Land reform settlements (LRS) in the Brazilian Amazon have been suggested to hold promise for the successful implementation of incipient efforts to reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD). However, differences in forest cover, deforestation behaviour and settler welfare plus ...


Ezzine-de-Blas, D.Boner, J.Violato-Espada, A.L.Nascimento, N.Piketty, M.G.[Forest loss and management in land reform settlements: implications for REDD governance in the Brazilian Amazon]Forest loss and management in land reform settlements: implications for REDD governance in the Brazilian Amazon

The increasing and alarming trend of degradation and deforestation of tropical peat swamp forests may contribute greatly to climate change. Estimates of carbon (C) losses associated with land use change in tropical peatlands are needed. To assess these losses we examined C stocks and peat C fluxe...


Hergoualc’h, KristellVerchot, Louis V.[Stocks and fluxes of carbon associated with land use change in Southeast Asian tropical peatlands: a review]Stocks and fluxes of carbon associated with land use change in Southeast Asian tropical peatlands: a review

Our objective was to compare and evaluate the practical applicability to REDD+ of ten forest management, social, environmental and carbon standards that are currently active worldwide: Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB), CCB REDD+ Social and Environmental Standards (CCBA REDD+ S&E), Carbon...


Merger, E.Dutschke, M.Verchot, Louis V.[Options for REDD+ voluntary certification to ensure net GHG benefits, poverty alleviation, sustainable management of forests and biodiversity conservation]Options for REDD+ voluntary certification to ensure net GHG benefits, poverty alleviation, sustainable management of forests and biodiversity conservation

Biofuels are receiving growing negative attention. Direct and/or indirect land-use changes that result from their cultivation can cause emissions due to carbon losses in soils and biomass and could negate any eventual greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction benefit. This paper evaluates the implications o...


Achten, W.M.J.Verchot, Louis V.[Implications of biodiesel-induced land-use changes for CO2 emissions: case studies in Tropical America, Africa, and Southeast Asia]Implications of biodiesel-induced land-use changes for CO2 emissions: case studies in Tropical America, Africa, and Southeast Asia

The proposed Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol paves the way for financial and technological transfers to support forestry projects that sequester carbon or protect carbon stocks. This paper examines the implications of CDM for forest conservation and sustainable use by draw...
