  6. 4. To leak or not to leak? : Land‐Use Displacement and Carbon Leakage from Forest Conservation

    Author : Sabine Henders; Madelene Ostwald; Martin Persson; Julie Wilk; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the question how emissions from land‐use displacement can be assessed and accounted for, using the example of carbon‐leakage accounting in the planned UNFCCC mechanism on ‘Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation’ (REDD). REDD serves here as example of an international forest conservation policy that might be effective locally but could lead to displacement of deforestation to other countries. READ MORE
