Deforestation and Climate Change

减少碳排放的森林砍伐和Forest Degradation

The Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei series on Economics, the Environment and Sustainable Development

Edited by Valentina Bosetti, Professor, Bocconi University, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei and Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change, Italy and Ruben Lubowski, Senior Economist, Environmental Defense Fund, Washington, DC, US

Deforestation and forest degradation have long been recognized as environmental problems, with concerns over conservation of natural habitats and biological diversity capturing both scientific and public attention. More recently, the debate over tropical forest conservation has radically shifted to the approximately fifteen percent of global greenhouse gas emissions that are caused by deforestation and forest degradation, and to the potential synergies from integrating forest management with climate change policies.

. . . the chapters make up a book of high value as the most up-to-date compilation on this hot topic, designed to be a reference for researchers and policymakers interested in the environmental and forest-resource management at the national, regional and international levels.’
– Ramón Elena-Rosselló and Santiago Saura, European Review of Agricultural Economics

‘Deforestation and Climate Change provides a comprehensive overview of the state of play in international regimes, programs and proposals for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. . . the book brings together a collection of papers canvassing some very important topics, cleverly crafted by the editors to flow rationally from general observations to quite technical evaluation of methods and approaches. It caters for a range of audiences who may have a little knowledge of climate change policy development.’
– Matt McIntyre, Australian Journal of Environmental Management
