Household practices and determinants of solid waste segregation in Addis Ababa city, Ethiopia
Solid waste segregation plays a critical role in effective waste management; however, the practice remains at a low level in developing countries like Ethiopia. Despite the persistent nature of the problem, there are limited studies to date that can provide sufficient empirical evidence to support appropriate efforts by policy makers and practitioners, particularly in the context of the developing world. Therefore, the main objective of this stud…
Participatory injustice in Mexico’s Readiness process to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (Redd +)
Since 2007 many developing countries have laid groundwork for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation and sustainable management and conservation of forests (REDD +) under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). REDD + is aimed at incentivizing forest conservation and management in developing countries through policy programmers and local projects, which should in theory enhance the…
Addressing multi-dimensional injustice in indigenous adaptation
Indigenous peoples, who depend on their environment for livelihoods and are often subject to poverty and socio-economic marginalization, are some of the most vulnerable to climate change. While the rights of Indigenous peoples are recognized internationally, these are not translated into adaptation responses. Using insights from theories of environmental justice in the case of Uganda’s Batwa community, we assess how justice-related factors impact…
Empirical assessment of equity and justice in climate adaptation literature
The normative concepts of equity and justice are rising narratives within global climate change discourse. Despite growing considerations of climate equity and justice within the adaptation literature, the extent to which adaptation research has worked to empirically assess and operationalize concepts of equity and justice in practice remains unclear. We employ a systematic mapping approach to examine how equity and justice are defined and unders…
Synergy between farmers’ knowledge of soil quality change and scientifically measured soil quality indicators in Wanka watershed, northwestern highlands of Ethiopia
Socioeconomic determinants of farm household land allocation for grass pea production in North Wollo Zone of Amhara region, Ethiopia
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is widely cultivated and consumed in Ethiopia, where its overconsumption has caused cases of lathyrism. Despite this fact, there are limited empirical studies carried out in Ethiopia on the factors driving household decision to grow grass pea and intensity of land allocation to its production. Therefore, this study was focused on exploring the determinants of smallholder farmers’ land allocation to grass pea productio…
Redd+ en México
México ha buscado fortalecer su política forestal a través de la implementación de la iniciativa de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas para el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) denominada REDD+, consistente en la reducción de las emisiones derivadas de la deforestación y la degradación de los bosques, su manejo sustentable, así como la conservación y el incremento de los acervos de carbono forestal. Durante el periodo de preparación de REDD+ en M…
Justice-related impacts and social differentiation dynamics in Nepal's Redd+ projects
Policies and projects aimed at Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation, and the sustainable management of forests and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+), have been regarded as an opportunity to improve forest governance while supporting rural livelihoods. However, now that REDD+ policies are being increasingly implemented, a number of justice-related challenges have emerged, including how social heterogeneity sho…
Brokering justice
This article explores the dynamics of brokerage at the intersection between the justice conceptions enshrined in global norms and the notions of justice asserted in specific socio-environmental struggles. Using the case of a small hydropower project in Nepal, we trace the attempts of an indigenous activist to enrol villagers in his campaign against the background of villagers’ everyday negotiations with the hydropower company. The study shows how…
Barriers to equity in Redd
A national interpretation process involving diverse actors and interests is required to transform global environmental initiatives into policies appropriate to the national or subnational context. These processes of localising norms are critical spaces to formulate equitable pathways to environmental conservation, yet have received limited attention from policy makers and researchers. We explored national policy processes for Reducing Emissions f…
Civil society participation in Redd+ and FLEGT processes
Operationalising the Ideas of Justice in Forest Governance
The aim of this paper is to consider the ways in which ideas of justice are applied in the national context of policy design and practice of forest management in Nepal. Concerns about justice have become increasingly prominent in forest management objectives across a range of governance initiatives—from state-controlled forests to community forestry and REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) development. However, the…

Using a multilevel approach to analyse the case of forest conflicts in the Terai, Nepal
Looking Back to Move Forward
Forest management policy in Nepal’s Terai region has witnessed increasing conflicts and contested debates, particularly over who should manage the region’s valuable forests. While the government advocates collaborative management in the form of a partnership between the government itself and the local communities, community forestry activists oppose this model and argue instead for total community control of local forests. One way of overcoming t…
