“…Encouraging examples range from the positive effects of commodity certification (for example, palm oil 119 ) to payment for ecosystem service schemes (for example, watershed protection 120 ). However, such approaches also attract considerable criticism, with implementation often lagging behind commitments 118 , persistent concerns around the social legitimacy of compensation schemes 121 and the misalignment of market-based mechanisms with local needs and perceptions of environmental values 122 .…”

The tropics contain the overwhelming majority of Earth's biodiversity: their terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems hold more than three-quarters of all species, including almost all shallow-water corals and over 90% of terrestrial birds. However, tropical ecosystems are also subject to pervasive and interacting stressors, such as deforestation, overfishing and climate change, and they are set within a socio-economic context that includes growing pressure from an increasingly globalized world, larger and more affluent tropical populations, and weak governance and response capacities. Concerted local, national and international actions are urgently required to prevent a collapse of tropical biodiversity.

“…But the agreement does not include additional rules on how to proceed with REDD+ implementation and finance. However, REDD+ plays a prominent role in the National Determined Contributions (NDCs), which are the national climate strategies under the Paris Agreement (Bhan et al, 2017;Corbera and Schroeder, 2017;Hein et al, 2018b). Most of the countries with tropical rainforest cover, including Indonesia, plan to implement REDD+ policies.…”

Indonesia's commitment to reducing land-based greenhouse gas emissions significantly includes the expansion of conservation areas, but these developments are not free of conflicts. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of agrarian conflicts in the context of the implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and forest carbon offsetting in Indonesia, a country where deforestation is a major issue. The author analyzes new kinds of transnational agrarian conflicts which have strong implications for global environmental justice in the REDD+ pilot province of Jambi on the island of Sumatra. The chapters cover: the rescaling of the governance of forests; privatization of conservation; and the transnational dimensions of agrarian conflicts and peasants' resistance in the context of REDD+. The book builds on an innovative conceptual approach linking political ecology, politics of scale and theories of power. It fills an important knowledge and research gap by focusing on the socially differentiated impacts of REDD+ and new forest carbon offsetting initiatives in Southeast Asia, providing a multi-scalar perspective. It is aimed at scholars in the areas of political ecology, human geography, climate change mitigation, forest and natural resource management, as well as environmental justice and agrarian studies.

“…Whilst REDD+ has contributed to increased non-state actor engagement in international climate change governance , Gupta et al 2016, Betts and Schroeder 2015, Newell et al 2012, Nasiritousi et al 2016, it has been slower in recognising the ecological knowledge and practices of inhabitants of forests that have historically maintained the balance and well-being of these ecosystems (Posey 1985, Kawagley and Barnhardt 1998. The literature on REDD+ also points to repeated cases of oversimplified and generalised understanding of local level dynamics and complexities, leading to adverse outcomes and a tendency to not align project goals with local needs and relationships with their territory (Corbera and Schroeder 2017, Gebara and Agrawal 2017, Traedal and Vedeld 2017.…”

Highlights• New relationships are needed among indigenous peoples and researchers in order to co-produce knowledge to tackle global challenges.• Comparing and sharing knowledge across knowledge traditions can create opportunities to develop new approaches to addressing deforestation, forest degradation and climate change more generally.• Much is at stake as we move into the Paris Agreement implementation phase, where it is clear that 2 or even 1.5 degrees warming limitations cannot be achieved without the meaningful participation of non-state actors, including indigenous peoples and their different bases of knowledge.• We identify three approaches through which indigenous ontologies on territoriality are relevant in their local context. These approaches could be scaled up and related to REDD+ across levels of governance; their holistic practices could be interpreted as guiding principles for improving forest management.• Approaching REDD+ through the perspective of indigenous territoriality is not only about protecting forests from deforestation and forest degradation, but also about defending the integrity of peoples who have sustainably coexisted in and with their forests by means of a worldview that promotes a reflective practice on reciprocity between human and natural worlds. AbstractThis study examines traditional indigenous ontologies of territoriality based on a number of indigenous communities in Bolivia and Colombia to show how they can inform effective implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation plus sustainable forest management, forest conservation and enhancing forest carbon stock). This could help address concerns that REDD+ interventions oversimplify local dynamics and complexities. The concept of territoriality subsumes a variety of definitions and conceptions, some of which are embedded in Traditional Ecological Knowledge and represented in the multiple expressions of collective indigenous identity. We compare and contrast Western and indigenous ontologies of territoriality and identify three ways in which engagement with territoriality can enhance REDD+ implementation and effective non-state actor participation.
