Values, pluralism, and decoloniality in transnational forest governance
This article theorises transnational forest governance as a field of normative struggle constituted through competing instrumental, intrinsic, and relational values of forests and stabilised through scalar politics and legal pluralism. It develops a comparative analytical framework linking public international regimes (UNFCCC REDD+ safeguards and the Warsaw Framework), private carbon standards (Verra methodologies and integrity controversies), su…

Transformative governance of biodiversity
While there is much debate on transformative change among academics and policymakers, the discussion on how to govern such change is still in its infancy. This article argues that transformative governance is needed to enable the transformative change necessary for achieving global sustainability goals. Based on a literature review, the article unpacks this concept of transformative governance. It is: integrative, to ensure local solutions also h…
Why Protect Ancient Woodland in the UK? Rethinking the Ecosystem Approach
Sites of ancient woodland in the United Kingdom (UK) are diminishing rapidly and the multifunctional forest management system with its fragmented approach fails effectively to protect such woodland. In the face of reports on the destruction of ancient woodland, the HS2 High-Speed train project in the UK signifies the extent of trade-offs among the key stakeholders. Such large infrastructure projects typically come with high environmental and soci…
Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change
The time is now For decades, scientists have been raising calls for societal changes that will reduce our impacts on nature. Though much conservation has occurred, our natural environment continues to decline under the weight of our consumption. Humanity depends directly on the output of nature; thus, this decline will affect us, just as it does the other species with which we share this world. Díaz et al. review the findings of the largest asses…
Payments for Ecosystem Services in Sustainable Mangrove Forest Management in Bangladesh
In the context of sustainable development, both developed and developing countries are implementing policies that encourage economic growth, environmental protection and social well-being in resource decisions. According to the 2012 Rio+20 Declaration, market-based instruments that complement regulations can offer an economically efficient push to sustainable growth. Market-based instruments, such as payments for ecosystem services (PES) and othe…
Unacknowledged and unwanted? ‘Environmental refugees’ in search of legal status
Environmental displacement is a global phenomenon affecting millions of people. Due to climate change and the corresponding sea-level rise, it is estimated that about eight million of indigenous people of Pacific Islands will be forced to settle elsewhere by 2050. This is one of many examples confirming the need to ascertain the legal status of environmental refugee in international law. The term 'environmental refugee' is controversially discuss…
Protection of Traditional Knowledge and Human Rights Obligations
Traditional knowledge and human rights are two fields that have largely developed separately despite being interrelated. A number of international institutions are pursuing different priorities related to the protection of traditional knowledge. The underlying theme of all these discussions could be linked to various human rights obligations. Despite this reality, in the discussions on the protection and the use of traditional knowledge within th…
