The book assesses the implications of international policy approaches that focus on \u003cem\u003eforests as carbon\u003c\/em\u003e and especially, \u003cem\u003eforest carbon\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eoffsets\u003c\/em\u003e, for rights, justice, and climate governance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributions from leading anthropologists and geographers analyze a growing trend towards market principles and financialization of nature in environmental governance, placing it into conceptual, critical, and historical context. The book then challenges perceptions of forest carbon initiatives through in-depth, field-based case studies assessing projects, policies, and procedures at various scales, from informed consent to international carbon auditing. While providing a mixed assessment of the potential for forest carbon initiatives to balance carbon with social goals, the authors present compelling evidence for the complexities of the carbon offset enterprise, fraught with competing interests and interpretations at multiple scales, and having unanticipated and often deleterious effects on the resources and rights of the world’s poorest peoples—especially indigenous and rural peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Carbon Fix\u003c\/em\u003e provides nuanced insights into political, economic, and ethical issues associated with climate change policy. Its case approach and fresh perspective are critical to environmental professionals, development planners, and project managers; and to students in upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental anthropology and geography, environmental and policy studies, international development, and indigenous studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45576215331054,"sku":"9781611323337","price":80.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781611323337.jpg?v=1720967715","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/carbon-fix-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
