Title: Forest Preservation in a Changing Climate: REDD+ and Indigenous and Community Rights in Indonesia and Tanzania
Organization:Cambridge University Press
Author:Jodoin S
Year:2017

This book provides a comprehensive examination of how REDD+ programmes, policies, and projects have affected the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in developing countries. It provides a brief history of the origins and evolution of REDD+ and offers legal analysis of the standards set by multilateral initiatives (UNFCCC, UN-REDD, and FCPF) and certification programmes (CCBA and REDD SES). Most of the book is dedicated qualitative case studies of the human rights implications of national REDD+ programmes and local REDD+ projects in Indonesia and Tanzania. The comparison between these two countries is especially fruitful in highlighting the range of implications, both positive and negative, that the pursuit of REDD+ may hold for Indigenous and local communities and the ways in which legal, environmental, economic, and political factors may affect the human rights outcomes of REDD+ activities at the national and local levels.
