  Tenure rights, human rights and REDD+: knowledge, skills and tools for effective results forest carbon, markets and communities (FCMC) program

  Forest Carbon, Markets and Communities, 2014

  This document presents a framework for identifying and asserting tenure and human rights associated with forests and land use in the context of climate change policies and measures. It argues that clearly defined land rights can help identify which actors are necessary to address drivers of deforestation and can determine shares in benefits from reduced deforestation.

  Forest carbon stocks in woody plants of Tara Gedam Forest: Implication for climate change mitigation

  Science, Technology and Arts Research Journal, 2014

  The overall objective of this study was to estimate the carbon stock potentials of Tara Gedam forest, Ethiopia, as potential sink for climate change mitigation. Forest plays an important role in the global carbon cycle as carbon sinks of the terrestrial ecosystem. The data was collected from the field by measuring plants with a DBH of >5cm and the carbon stocks of each plant were analysed.

  What drives deforestation and what stops it? A meta-analysis of spatially explicit econometric studies

  Center for Global Development, USA, 2014

  This paper presents a meta-analysis of what drives deforestation and what stops it. The researchers find that forests are more likely to be cleared where economic returns to agriculture and pasture are higher, either due to more favorable climatological and topographic conditions, or due to lower costs of clearing forest and transporting products to market.

  Building national forest and land-use information systems: Lessons from Cameroon, Indonesia, and Peru

  World Resources Institute, Washington DC, 2014

  This working paper, published by the World Resources Institute, looks at efforts in Cameroon, Indonesia, and Peru to invest in the infrastructure and capacity to track the impacts of changes from from forest and land-use-based climate change mitigation actions.
