The Faculty of Law is pleased to announce that Professor S茅bastien Jodoin has just published 鈥淔orest Preservation in a Changing Climate: REDD+ and Indigenous and Community Rights in Indonesia and Tanzania鈥� with Cambridge University Press.

This book provides a comprehensive socio-legal examination of how global efforts to fight climate change by reducing carbon emissions in the forestry sector (known as REDD+) have affected the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in developing countries.

Grounded in extensive qualitative empirical research conducted globally, the book shows that the transnational legal process for REDD+ has created both serious challenges and unexpected opportunities for the recognition and protection of Indigenous and community rights.

It reveals that the pursuit of REDD+ has resulted in important variations in how human rights standards are understood and applied across multiple sites of law in the field of REDD+, with mixed results for Indigenous Peoples and local communities in Indonesia and Tanzania. With its original findings, rigourous research design, and interdisciplinary analytical framework, this book will make a valuable contribution to the study of transnational legal processes and the relationship between human rights and environmental governance.

To mark international Open Access week, the Faculty wishes to highlight that this book is being released in an electronic format under a Creative Commons license, and can be [.pdf].
