Policy without politics: technocratic control of climate change adaptation policy making in Nepal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors critique the ways in which the politics of representation and climate science are framed and pursued in the process of climate policy development, and contribute to an understanding of the relative effectiveness of globally framed, generic policy mechanisms in vulnerable and politically volatile contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifting regimes of management and uses of forests: What might REDD+ implementation mean for community forestry? Evidence from Nepal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how REDD+ has been downscaled into the community forestry context and with what implications for CF governance, and they argue that the technical and financial logic of REDD+, has had implications for community forestry governance, risks of co-opting local voices and has contributed to an ongoing commercialisation of community forests, at the cost of the livelihoods of the poorest people.
Journal ArticleDOI
REDD+, forest transition, agrarian change and ecosystem services in the hills of Nepal

Journal ArticleDOI
What Is Secondary about Secondary Tropical Forest? Rethinking Forest Landscapes

Journal ArticleDOI
Reframing community forest governance for food security in Nepal
