“…For years, the debate on carbon sequestration from afforestation and reforestation and specifically avoided deforestation has been a contentious one (Bäckstrand & Lövbrand, 2006;Boyd, Corbera& Estrada, 2008). While national governments were allowed to use carbon "sinks" to comply with the Kyoto targets, the inclusion in CDM has taken much slash-and-burn agriculture, and thus reduce carbon emissions.…”

AcknowledgementThis paper is one of the publications resulting from a longer-term research programme on partnerships, part of which (related to partnerships for development) is carried out together with the Partnerships Resource Centre. For the work on partnerships for climate change we acknowledge Lia Hull van Houten as well as the international research network on transnational climate change governance. ADDRESSING THE CLIMATE CHANGE-SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT NEXUS:THE ROLE OF MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIPS ABSTRACTWhile calls are being made to deal with the linkages between climate change and sustainable development to arrive at an integrated policy, concrete steps in this direction have been very limited so far. One of the possible instruments through which both issues may be approached 2 simultaneously is a multi-stakeholder partnership, a form of governance with the potential to address existing regulatory, participation, resource and learning gaps as it harnesses the strengths of private, public and nonprofit partners. There is some insight into partnerships for climate change, but largely limited to developed countries, and those in developing countries most often do not involve companies. To help fill this gap, this paper explores the role of multi-stakeholder partnerships in addressing climate change and sustainable development in developing-country settings. It elaborates on the governance function of partnerships, on actor involvement, the gaps addressed as well as synergies and trade-offs in the climate change-sustainable development nexus and how partnerships may help address them. As the number of such partnerships is still limited, we discuss seven illustrative partnerships, and draw conclusions as to further conceptualizations, and implications for research and practice.

“…These standards add value to the offsetting activities supported voluntarily by private and public companies or individual citizens. A combination of VCS and CCB is preferred today in voluntary forestry projects that cover a wide range of activities, from avoided deforestation projects that have never been eligible under the CDM to afforestation and reforestation activities (Boyd et al, 2008). In the past, research revealed challenges regarding the potential for leakage, permanence, additionality, reference levels, monitoring, and verification in forestry projects, particularly in those geared at conserving rather than enhancing standing biomass (Angelsen et al, 2014).…”

“…On the myriad ineffective attempts to address deforestation, see Boyd (2010b) and Garcia (2011). For a history of negotiations under the Kyoto Protocol on sinks and Clean Development Mechanism sinks, see Boyd, Corbera and Estrada (2008). Few projects have come to fruition, because they proved to be unprofitable, complicated and risky.…”

Tropical forests and climate change: a critique of green governmentality

This paper contains three main arguments. First, tropical forests have become objects of climate and environmental governance under the REDD+ mechanism in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change that combines legal, market and scientific rationalities with measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) technologies in a neoliberal green governmentality regime. Second, the current structures and institutions of governance are contradictory and international environmental law provides inadequate means for regulating and protecting forests. Third, these deficiencies point to the need for imaginative alternative forms of governance to prevent further deforestation.
