Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De nombreux pays dans le monde sont engagés dans des processus de décentralisation et la plupart des États africains sont confrontés à de graves problèmes de gouvernance forestière, depuis la répartition des avantages à l’illégalité et à la gestion durable des forêts. Ce livre résume les expériences à ce jour concernant l’ampleur et la nature de la décentralisation ainsi que les conséquences de celle-ci, dont la plupart suggèrent une sous-performance des réformes de gouvernance. Il examine également la viabilité des différents instruments de gouvernance dans le contexte d’une faible gouvernance et de pressions commerciales accrues sur les forêts.Les résultats sont regroupés en deux domaines thématiques: d’une part la décentralisation, les moyens de subsistance et la gestion des forêts, d’autre part les échanges internationaux, la finance et les réformes de gouvernance du secteur forestier. Les auteurs examinent les diverses forces qui façonnent le secteur forestier, notamment la théorie et la pratique de la décentralisation, l’usurpation d’autorité, la corruption et l’illégalité, les mécanismes inéquitables de répartition des bénéfices et l’expansion du commerce international du bois et des crédits carbone, puis discutent de leurs effets sur les moyens de subsistance, l’état de la forêt et l’équité. Cet ouvrage se base sur de précédentes publications ayant examiné les différentes dimensions de la décentralisation et les perspectives des autres régions du monde ; il extrait ces dimensions et perspectives des autres régions du monde ainsi que les dimensions de la gouvernance forestière qui sont à la fois uniques à l’Afrique et représentatives de mécanismes mondiaux plus larges. Les auteurs fondent leur analy se sur la théorie pertinente et exposent les implications de leurs résultats en matière de politique et de pratique

This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours des 20 dernières années, le marché international des bois tropicaux s'est considérablement modifié, et la division du travail entre les pays du Sud et les pays du Nord s'est brouillée avec l'industrialisation de la filière bois dans plusieurs pays du Sud-Est asiatique. Ces stratégies volontaristes s'appuient sur des mesures d'interdiction d'exporter du bois non transformé. Elles ont débouché sur l'apparition de surcapacités de production. Cette situation de déséquilibre a conduit de puissants groupes asiatiques à développer une stratégie de prise de contrôle des massifs forestiers de l'ensemble de la ceinture intertropicale. Ce déploiement international en dehors de la zone d'origine de ces firmes se double, en Indonésie et en Malaisie, d'une politique de conversion de la forêt en espaces dévolus aux plantations agricoles ou aux arbres à croissance rapide destinés à la fabrication de pâte à papier. Le changement d'échelle des investissements dans la foresterie rend de plus en plus tangible la tension entre les temporalités économique et financières d'une part, et naturelles d'autre part. Cette dynamique de mondialisation des stratégies des firmes conduisant l'exploitation forestière incitent à considérer de manière plus large la problématique de gestion durable des forêts, son rapport avec les plantations et les enjeux d'utilisation des terres. Enfin, les perspectives de la mise en place d'un marché international des permis d'émission de gaz à effet de serre augurent de possibles changements d'usages des espaces et des ressources forestières et annoncent un renforcement du poids des nouveaux acteurs globaux que sont les grandes ONG internationales de conservation. (Résumé d'auteur).

Book excerpt: La France est un pays agricole ; elle est aussi un pays forestier. Mais si le commerce extérieur des produits agricoles et alimentaires dégage un excédent de 32 milliards de francs, celui du bois et produits dérivés est largement déficitaire : 22 milliards de francs en 1987. En outre la production agricole est conduite à peu augmenter, voire à décroître, tandis que la ressource forestière est durablement installée dans une période de forte croissance. Malgré de pesantes contraintes structurelles, le maintien du déficit des échanges et la stagnation de la récolte du bois ne sont pas à long terme inéluctables. Le secteut forêt-bois en France est à un tournant de son histoire. Quel chemin suivra-t-il ? Celui de l'inertie ou du redressement ? Plus probablement le second, mais les changements seront-ils suffisamment rapides face à la concurrence internationale et à la compétition des autres matériaux ? Ce livre se veut un ouvrage de référence sur l'ensemble des activités économiques liées au bois en France. Il analyse les enjeux que connaît aujourd'hui ce secteur, de la plantation aux utilisations du bois-matériau et du papier-carton, dans le cadre de son environnement international. [4e de couv.]

Download or read book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

Download or read book The context of REDD in the Democratic Republic of Congo Drivers agents and institutions written by Augustin M. Mpoyi and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2013 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviewing the conditions in which the Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) mechanism is being established in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is part of Component 1 of the Global Comparative Study on REDD+ (GCS-REDD) being conducted by the Center for International Forestry Research. The overall aim of this global study is to provide decision-makers, practitioners, donors and the scientific community with reliable information on the dynamics of national actions related to the REDD+ mechanism. Discussions on REDD originally seemed to focus on the construction of a global structure and the establishment of a multilateral instrument to replace the Kyoto Protocol. But at the 14th Conference of Parties (CoP 14), held in Poznan in 2008, discussions on the reliability of REDD+ focused more on the dynamics of national- and local-level actions and brought out the need to better understand, analyze and explain the national institutional context of REDD+ development. Subsequently, this review used the extractive approaches. The first inputs were reports, articles, books and documents on the DRC that were directly related to forest management, socioeconomic and political institutions, etc., whether published or not. Because of the diversity of sources, the quantitative data sometimes seem contradictory and conflictual. In the next step, semi-structured interviews were held with experts working in the forestry sector and data were obtained from the participants’ observations. Since this analysis covers the period between May 2011 and June 2012 actions in the field and the institutions after those dates were not included.

Download or read book Coviability of Social and Ecological Systems Reconnecting Mankind to the Biosphere in an Era of Global Change written by Olivier Barrière and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume is the work of more than 55 authors from 15 different disciplines and includes complex systems science which studies the viability of components, and also the study of empirical situations. As readers will discover, the coviability of social and ecological systems is based on the contradiction between humanity, which adopts finalized objectives, and the biosphere, which refers to a ecological functions. We see how concrete situations shed light on the coviability’s determinants, and in this book the very nature of the coviability, presented as a concept-paradigm, is defined in a transversal and ontological ways. By adopting a systemic approach, without advocating any economic dogma (such as development) or dichotomizing between humans and nature, while emphasizing what is relevant to humans and what is not, this work neutrally contextualizes man’s place in the biosphere. It offers a new mode of thinking and positioning of the ecological imperative, and will appeal to all those working with social and ecological systems.

Download or read book Crying Out for Change written by Deepa Narayan-Parker and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multi-country research initiative to understand poverty from the eyes of the poor, the Voices of the Poor project was undertaken to inform the World Bank's activities and the upcoming World Development Report 2000/01. The research findings are being published in three books: "Can Anyone Hear Us?" gathers the voices of over 40,000 poor women and men in 50 countries from the World Bank's participatory poverty assessments (Deepa Narayan, Raj Patel, Kai Schafft, Anne Rademacher, and Sarah Koch-Schulte, authors). "Crying Out for Change" pulls together new field work conducted in 1999 in 23 countries (Deepa Narayan, Robert Chambers, Meera Shah, and Patti Petesch, authors). "From Many Lands" offers regional patterns and country case-studies (Deepa Narayan and Patti Petesch, editors). Voices of the Poor marks the first time such an exercise has been undertaken in so many developing countries and transition economies around the world. It provides a unique and detailed picture of the life of the poor and explains the constraints poor people face to escape from poverty in a way that more traditional survey techniques do not capture well. Each of the three volumes demonstrates the importance of voice and power in poor people's definition of poverty. Voices of the Poor concludes that we need to expand our conventional views of poverty which focus on income expenditure, education, and health to include measures of voice and empowerment.
