Opportunities and Conditions for Successful Foreign Aid to the Forestry Sector

Abstract

In this chapter, Unai Pascual and colleagues address the link between sustainable forest management initiatives, the climate change policy arena and foreign aid. Pascual et al. discuss the role of foreign aid in helping to achieve sustainable forest management, framing this as the condition for delivering multiple ecosystem services, and considering the potential for donor support for the forestry sector associated with new climate finance. The chapter explores the conditions for promoting forest conservation through foreign aid, taking into account the varying interests of multiple actors. The authors warn that while REDD+ financing, catalysed by foreign aid, has the potential to move beyond traditional sustainable forest management efforts, the mechanism still faces uncertainty over the long-term sustainability of financing, thus affecting the scalability of the mechanism.

Notes

  1. 1.

    According to the World Bank, more than 1.6 billion people directly depend on forest resources.

  2. 2.

    For example, de Gryzde and Durschinger (2010); Swickard and Carnahan (2010) in Balderas Torres and Skutsch (2012).

  3. 3.

    Leakage is when interventions to reduce deforestation or degradation at one site simply displace pressures and increase emissions elsewhere.
