Gender perspectives on REDD+ and global climate policy http://www.focali.se/en/articles/artikelarkiv/conserving-carbon-and-gender-relations-gender-perspectives-on-redd-and-global-climate-policy The REDD+ instrument, aimed at conserving tropical forests and its stored carbon, have explicit considerations of gender sensitivity, poverty reduction and respecting local communities embedded in the program. Still, considerations of gender issues tend to be pushed to the future and to side activities specifically directed at women. In this dissertation, Lisa Westholm argues that gender must be considered as a matter of social relations of power that is relevant at all levels of policy making, in order to avoid that policies perpetuate or exacerbate existing inequalities.No publishermolundDissertationFocaliresearcherGenderGlobal Climate GovernanceGlobal REDD-instrumentsREDD2018-03-08T08:33:30ZArticleCIFOR PhD field scholarships: Evaluating Subnational REDD+ Programs http://www.focali.se/en/news/cifor-phd-field-scholarships-evaluating-subnational-redd-programs The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) is seeking eight PhD scholars to focus on evaluating the impacts of subnational REDD+ initiatives in Brazil, Peru and Indonesia.No publishermolundCIFORDeforestationGlobal REDD-instrumentsPhDREDD2017-03-20T15:51:09ZNews Item“Georgetown ain’t got a tree.
