Day 2, Session 5: The role of tenure and governance in climate change mitigation and adaptation
Presentation by Arthur Green - land tenure specialist, McGill University
Securing Land, Forest, Tree and Carbon Tenure for REDD+(+) in Kenya
Security of tenure has been identified as key in ensuring the success of REDD+.
It is important to recognize and secure new kinds of property rights anticipated from REDD+ to ensure success of the programs.
Land tenure, while forming the basis for granting rights to land and its resources, is insufficient and there is need to clarify and incorporate forest, tree and carbon tenure.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission), an independent federal regulatory agency, is charged with protecting the American public against unreasonable risks of injury and death from consumer products. The CPSC estimates that for the period from 2009 to 2011, an annual average of 6,700 fires, 70 civilian deaths, 680 injuries, and $308.1 million in property loss in residential fires resulted where a candle was reported to be the heat source. This presentation will provide an update on CPSC staff’s work addressing the hazard of residential fires ignited by candles and candle accessories. The presentation will include information on CPSC staff’s participation in developing ASTM voluntary standards for candles, including addressable concerns not included in the current standards, how the CPSC determines whether a product presents a substantial product hazard, and the reporting requirements for manufacturers, retailers, and importers .

Global Forest and Community Tenure Challenges by Jenny SpringerSIANI
Presented as part of the Seminar on Securing Forest and Community Land Rights - Challenges, Trends and Ways Forward. The seminar focused on forests and other off-farm areas that constitute vital resources for the food security and livelihoods of the rural poor in many developing countries. These lands are often used in integrated ways by local communities under communal customary arrangements while often formally owned by the state. Unclear land rights make these resources and associated livelihoods particularly vulnerable in the current context of increased demand for land; this needs to be better recognized and articulated in discussions on land rights and responsible land investments.

Climate change and forests: assessing local governanceCIFOR-ICRAF
The skills of anthropologists in local-level social analysis have great potential for contributing to the global discussion on climate change. Their skills and findings could be used toward reducing the risks related to REDD+, and working constructively with communities to adapt to the changes that cannot be prevented. CIFOR scientist Carol Colfer gave this presentation at the Society for Applied Anthropology’s annual meeting, in Seattle, Washington in April 2011. The aim was to interest anthropologists in addressing climate change adaptation and mitigation more actively.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Arthur Green: Land tenure and carbon sequestration in Africa
1. Land Tenure and
Carbon Sequestration in Africa
Arthur Green
McGill University
26 May 2009, Yaounde, Cameroon
Forest Tenure, Governance and Enterprise:
New Opportunities for Central & West Africa
2. Outline
• Points of agreement
• Presentation argument and question
• Tenurial constraints
• What options might we have?
4. Arguments and Question
Informal land tenure in Africa may serve as a prohibitive
obstacle to carbon sequestration projects and REDD.
Land tenure regimes will not transition fast enough to
function within the time frame specified for REDD (2012) or to
have a viable impact on the critical period of large scale
carbon sequestration (next decades). (Cotula and Mayers 2009; Malhi etal ,2002)
If land tenure is a prohibitive obstacle (for at least a short
term period), what other options do we have for facilitating
REDD and carbon sequestration?
5. Tenurial constraints to REDD/carbon sequestration
(Unruh 2008)
Land tenure disconnect between informal and statutory
land and forest tenure regimes. (Cleaver,2003; Delville,2003; Unruh,2006;
Guadagni, 2002; McAuslan,2003; de Moor andRothermund,1994; RentelnandDundes,1994; Bruce
and Migot‐Adholla,1994)
Legal pluralism: multiple functioning systems. (Benda‐
Beckmann,1995; Merry,1988; Moore,1973; Lund, 1998)
Tree tenure: planting as land claim & complexes of rights
surrounding trees.
6. Tenurial constraints to REDD/carbon sequestration
(Unruh 2008)
Management of landscape and woody perennials (in
sustainable small holder systems) involves several
variables outside the scope of public land policy (flexible
livelihoods and opportunity costs).
The difficulty of the ‘abandoned land’ category (the
state as the threat). Fallows and other so called
abandoned lands may actually be multiple use areas,
contain usable species (Tephrosia sp.), and not be
available to carbon forests.
Transitions in land tenure often involve elite land grabs,
disenfranchisement, undermine tenure security and
drive deforestation.
7. What options might we have?
• Less emphasis on the state and Kyoto protocol. State can
recognize informal tenure zones (community forestry)
and funders and communities can implement projects
that rely on primarily on voluntary payments and
secondarily on carbon markets (high transaction costs,
permanence, leakage, additionality).
• Cotula and Mayers (2009) recommend documenting
carbon rights on land titles. If land titles cannot be made
available, can carbon rights be treated separately from
land? Forest tenure without formal land tenure?
8. What options might we have?
• Reevaluate tcer(temporary certified emission reductions),
crediting periods, and non‐permanence so that the legal
framework can commoditize flexible local management
that captures carbon or avoids degradation. This system
could function without clear tenure, recognizing and
commoditizing higher risk scenarios for avoided
degradation / deforestation or temporary carbon
sequestration projects (involving genera like leucana,
gliricidia, tephrosia, anacardium, etc.) (monitoring costs,
permanence, leakage, additionality).
