A large number of countries recognize the role of forests in carbon sequestration and committed in their NDCs to protect forests, reduce deforestation rates, and restore forestlands. Few NDCs, however, make any specific commitments to how their forests will be protected or restored on degraded land. It is still unclear if governments will protect forests by expanding the protected estate, improving the management of existing national parks, helping communities safeguard the forests on their lands, or by taking other measures.

Implementing the Urban Community Resilience Assessment in Vulnerable Neighborhoods of Three Cities
Rapports et recherchesdécembre, 2018Brésil, Indonésie, IndeClimate change affects poor and marginalized communities first and hardest.

Yet strategies focused on reducing these people’s vulnerability to climate change often overlook crucial differences in their needs and situations.

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.
