''Incentivizing and compensating local forest users for reduced emissions require regular monitoring of forest carbon stocks. This book demonstrates convincingly - based on extensive field research - that this can be done by local communities themselves in a reliable and cost-efficient way.'
Arild Angelsen, Norwegian University of Life Sciences & Senior Associate, CIFOR

Community Forest Monitoring for the Carbon Market presents practical methods by which communities can measure, monitor and report carbon stock changes in their forests.

'This book provides extremely valuable examples of the problems facing the governance of tropical forests. More importantly it details how these challenges might be resolved.'
Dr. John Innes, Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia

Collaborative Governance of Tropical Landscapes improves our understanding of and ability to manage complex landscapes in a more adaptive and collaborative way that benefits both the environment and local communities.

'Planted forests provide society with a lot more than just timber - they are a rich source of ecosystem services and this fact needs to be more widely recognised. This book meets that important need.'
Jeff Sayer, James Cook University, Australia

Ecosystem Goods and Services from Plantation Forests examines explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by plantation forests, including soil, water and biodiversity conservation, as well as carbon sequestration and the provision of local livelihoods.

Tackling Wicked Problems through 'Post-Normal' and 'Transition' Science

Join a free webinar presented by Jerome Ravetz, originator of post-normal science, and Valerie Brown, editor of Tackling Wicked Problems, who discuss the kinds of knowledge we need to tackle our ecological and social crises.

Jerome Ravetz will explain how he developed Post-Normal Science, which allows for uncertainty and imagination. This is appropriate for policy issues where facts are uncertain, values in dispute, stakes high and decisions urgent.

Valerie Brown will present her work on Transition Science. Through her work with over 300 communities, she has identified ingredients needed to bring about social change: key individuals, members of the affected community, specialised advisors, influential organizations and a holistic focus. Valerie will propose that collective knowledge, the sum of these multiple knowledges, is emerging as the basis for a Transition Science.
