Climate Change, Forests and REDD by Joyeeta Gupta
This volume assesses the options for reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries under the international climate regime in the context of other forest policies. It also examines the incentives flowing from them at the national and sub national level, analysing how these policy levers change human behaviour.
