Description

This book examines the effectiveness of forest carbon projects in Africa, looking at efforts to conserve forest carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and offset emissions through trade in carbon credits. Drawing on a diverse range of original international case studies, the book analyses forest carbon projects in the context of the wider commoditisation of nature. It explores how these projects interact with the particular histories of forest landscapes and impact on local forest users. By examining these cases in a comparative framework, the book provides a rich and compelling account of how and why carbon conflicts are emerging, and how they might be avoided in future.
