| Abstract | At a UN Climate Change conference held in Cancun, Mexico, further agreement was reached on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD ). REDD provides a legal framework for commodifying the value of sequestered carbon emissions saved by avoiding deforestation or degradation in the global south; integrating forests into a broader international carbon market. This paper examines the processes for implementing REDD in Indonesia and argues that while it may help nations of the global north to reach their emissions reduction targets, it does little or nothing to curtail the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in Indonesia. Indeed, the paper argues, REDD makes forest protection in Indonesia more difficult by undercutting community-managed forest conservation strategies. International solidarity is needed to help forest-dependent communities in Indonesia to promote their alternative to REDD. |
