REDD+ and the Reconfiguration of Public Authority in the Forest Sector: A Comparative Case Study of Indonesia and Brazil

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Global Forest Governance and Climate Change

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Natural Resource Management ((PSNRM))

Abstract

Since the 1980s, central governments have decentralized forestry to local governments in many countries of the Global South. More recently, REDD+ has started to impact forest policy-making in these countries by providing incentives to ensure a national-level approach to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. Höhne et al. analyze to what extent central governments have rebuilt capacity at the national level, imposed regulations from above, and interfered in forest management by local governments for advancing REDD+. Using the examples of Brazil and Indonesia, the chapter illustrates that while REDD+ has not initiated a large-scale recentralization in the forestry sector, it has supported the reinforcement and pooling of REDD+ related competences at the central government level.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Ribot et al. (2006)  argue that local governments still lack revenue powers, access to information, and sufficient funding. Additionally, they face more control by the central government, are constrained by the territory attributed to them, and face ambiguous regulations. Downward accountability is largely missing as powers were devolved to NGOs, customary authorities, local administrative bodies of the central government or private organizations.

  2. 2.

    Since the Estate Crops Law 18 of 2004 and the Law on Mineral and Coal Mining in 2009, sub-national governments have only had the right to issue estate crop permits and mining permits outside state forests.
