The recently published book by Michael Dutschke "Forestry, Risk and Climate Policy" is available for download now.
It resumes over a decade of policy advice, starting by focusing the global frameset of forest-related mitigation activities under the Climate Convention. Later chapters shed light on the diverse underlying methodological and economic issues. The final chapter proposes how to collect funds for global commons like the reduction of emissions from forests or supporting adaptation to climate change, while at the same time strengthening the commitment of the beneficiaries towards the international climate regime.
The book concludes that forestry as a means of mitigating climate change is special compared to options in other sectors, and that environmental risks in striking the balance between environmental effectiveness, cost-efficiency and equity are posing important challenges. Besides identifying the key issues in climate forestry, the book "Forestry, Risk and Climate Policy" offers pragmatic solutions for the integration of forests into international climate policy.
