Indigenous peoples and other local communities (IPLCs) are essential for forests, climate, biodiversity, public health and a host of other local and global ecosystem services. Securing IPLC land rights, helping protect their lands from external threats and supporting their forest management efforts would allow IPLCs to contribute even more to these public goods. Evidence on IPLC forest management has been accumulating steadily over the last decade since this matter gained attention in the climate change policy circles.

This report summarizes the science on the biophysical effects of deforestation on climate stability and explores the policy implications of the resulting impacts at three scales: global climate policy, regional cooperation on precipitation management, and national policies related to agriculture and public health. For each of these policy arenas, there are promising entry points to address current gaps through innovations in policies and institutions.

Implementing the Urban Community Resilience Assessment in Vulnerable Neighborhoods of Three Cities
Informes e investigacionesDiciembre, 2018Brasil, Indonesia, IndiaClimate change affects poor and marginalized communities first and hardest. Particularly in cities, a lack of access to basic services, a long history of unsustainable urban development, and political exclusion render the urban poor one of the most vulnerable groups to climate induced natural hazards and disasters. Yet strategies focused on reducing these people’s vulnerability to climate change often overlook crucial differences in their needs and situations.

How Strengthening Community Forest Rights Mitigates Climate Change
Informes e investigacionesJulio, 2014GlobalWith deforestation and other land uses accounting for 11 percent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, the international community agrees on the need to address deforestation as an important component of climate change. Community forests represent a vital opportunity to curbing climate change that has been undervalued. Today communities have legal or official rights to at least 513 million hectares of forests, only about one eighth of the world’s total, comprising 37.7 billion tonnes of carbon.

La seguridad de la tenencia, definida como la certeza de que los derechos sobre las tierras de una comunidad serán reconocidos y protegidos si se los cuestiona, está relacionada con una gran cantidad de beneficios para las comunidades y la sociedad en general. Cada vez existe una mayor evidencia de que los bosques comunitarios con tenencia asegurada están relacionados con la deforestación evitada y otros beneficios de servicios del ecosistema. Además, existen otros beneficios económicos y sociales relacionados con la gestión comunal.

Evidence is growing that tenure-secure community forests are associated with avoided deforestation and other ecosystem-service benefits. There are also economic and social benefits connected to communal management. But securing community forest tenure also involves costs, including costs to establish supportive legislation, to demarcate and register the lands, to monitor and protect the lands as well as opportunity costs.
