Opis

REDD+ operates to reorganise social relations and to establish new forms of global authority over forests in the Global South.

Recenzje

'An original and thought-provoking critique of REDD+ that also sheds light on fundamental shortcomings of the climate change regime and of international environmental law and policy more generally. This is the very best kind of critical scholarship, that not only reveals the limitations of current frameworks but also inspires the reader to look past them to possible alternatives.' Karin Mickelson, University of British Columbia
