Law, Tropical Forests and Carbon
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-107-02880-7 (ISBN)
Emerging from the scientific parameters underpinning REDD+ (including the measurement of carbon stocks, reporting and verification), Law, Tropical Forests and Carbon considers the crucial challenges for global and national governance and the legal rights and interests of indigenous people and local communities, all of which have fundamental implications for development and poverty alleviation. With contributions from leading experts in the fields of law, governance, science, development studies and geography, it sheds light on the complexity of REDD+ and offers perspectives on the extent to which REDD+ agreements can be enforced under international law and in concert with new private and public domestic institutions.

Catherine MacKenzie is a fellow of Selwyn College and a university lecturer in law at the University of Cambridge.
