TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the outcomes of internationally-funded interventions aimed at climate change adaptation and vulnerability reduction and highlight how some interventions inadvertently reinforce, redistribute or create new sources of vulnerability.
221 citations
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.

TL;DR: Griscom et al. as discussed by the authors argue that if natural climate solutions are to succeed while economies decarbonize, policymakers must recognize and avoid the expense, risk, and damage that poorly designed and hastily implemented tree plantings impose on ecosystems and people.
Abstract: Scientists, corporations, mystics, and movie stars have convinced policymakers around the world that a massive campaign to plant trees should be an essential element of global climate policy. Public dialogue has emphasized potential benefits of tree planting while downplaying pitfalls and limitations that are well established by social and ecological research. We argue that if natural climate solutions are to succeed while economies decarbonize (Griscom et al. 2017), policymakers must recognize and avoid the expense, risk, and damage that poorly designed and hastily implemented tree plantings impose on ecosystems and people.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the national politi cation for REDD+ mitigation mechanism in developing countries and found that reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) has emerged as a promising climate change mitigation mechanism.

TL;DR: A preliminary predictive framework to identify possible sources of impairment that may result in conflict over management of forests and natural resources is built and found that the application has been useful in the Nepalese context, but there are some limitations in its scope and precision.
Abstract: With the current complexity of issues facing forest and land management, the implementation of the REDD+ initiative comes with significant risks, including conflict. While the exact nature and shape of conflict in REDD+ implementation is difficult to pinpoint, this study aims to build a preliminary predictive framework to identify possible sources of impairment that may result in conflict over management of forests and natural resources. The framework was developed from an extensive literature review and was tested in three REDD+ pilot project sites in Nepal. The results indicate that most of the sources of impairment are present in all study sites, particularly issues relating to benefit sharing, which have been main drivers of conflict prior to REDD+. While we found that the application of the framework has been useful in the Nepalese context, there are some limitations in its scope and precision. Nonetheless, this study points to important implications with regards to REDD+ implementation and conflict management that can be useful for policy makers and practitioners involved in REDD+ strategy designs, as well as other areas of forest management involving outsiders and communities.
