Spatial Distribution of Estimated Wind-Power Royalties in West Texas

Peer-reviewed publication
Dezembro, 2015

Wind-power development in the U.S. occurs primarily on private land, producing royalties for landowners through private contracts with wind-farm operators. Texas, the U.S. leader in wind-power production with well-documented support for wind power, has virtually all of its ~12 GW of wind capacity sited on private lands. Determining the spatial distribution of royalty payments from wind energy is a crucial first step to understanding how renewable power may alter land-based livelihoods of some landowners, and, as a result, possibly encourage land-use changes.

América do Sul

An important proportion of Latin America’s forests are located in indigenous territories, and indigenous peoples are the beneficiaries of about 85% of the area for which local rights to land and forest have been recognized in Latin America since the 1980s. Nevertheless, many of these areas, whether or not rights have been recognized, are subject to threats from colonists, illegal loggers, mining and oil interests and others, whose practices endanger not only the forests but also indigenous people’s territory as a whole.

Contemporary Discourses and Contestations around Pro-Poor Land Policies and Land Governance

Journal Articles & Books
Dezembro, 2010

The meaning of land and land policies is diverse and contested across and within local and (inter)national settings.

Meanwhile, concern for 'pro-poor' land policy has coincided with the mainstream promotion of efficient administration of land policies, leading to the concept of 'land governance'. Such concepts have enriched discussion on land issues, but they also complicate further an already complex terrain.
