Unpriced climate risk and the potential consequences of overvaluation in US housing markets
Open AccessJesse D Gourevitch, Carolyn Kousky et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2023
Climate change impacts threaten the stability of the US housing market. In response to growing concerns that increasing costs of flooding are not fully captured in property values, we quantify the magnitude of unpriced flood risk in the housing market by comparing the empirical and economically efficient prices for properties at risk. We find that residential properties exposed to flood risk are overvalued by US$121–US$237 billion, depending on t…
Climate change greatly escalates forest disturbance risks to US property values
Open AccessWilliam R L Anderegg, Timothy W Collins et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023
Anthropogenic climate change is projected to drive increases in climate extremes and climate-sensitive ecosystem disturbances such as wildfire with enormous economic impacts. Understanding spatial and temporal patterns of risk to property values from climate-sensitive disturbances at national and regional scales and from multiple disturbances is urgently needed to inform risk management and policy efforts. Here, we combine models for three major …

Incorporating Land Tenure Security into Conservation
Open AccessBrian Robinson, Yuta J Masuda et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2018
Insecure land tenure plagues many developing and tropical regions, often where conservation concerns are highest. Conservation organizations have long focused on protected areas as tenure interventions, but are now thinking more comprehensively about whether and how to incorporate other land tenure strategies into their work, and how to more soundly ground such interventions on evidence of both conservation and human benefits. Through a review of…

The Restructuring of South American Soy and Beef Production and Trade Under Changing Environmental Regulations
Open AccessYann Le Polain De Waroux, Rhianna Garrett et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2017Cited by: 20References: 1
In response to the extensive loss of forests caused by soy and cattle expansion in South America, several countries have increased their legal restrictions on deforestation, and stepped up their enforcement. In addition, in the Brazilian Amazon, new private agreements were initiated in 2006 and 2009 to limit the purchase of soy and cattle linked with deforestation. One concern is that such policies, because they are spatially heterogeneous or foc…

Foreign capital, forest change and regulatory compliance in Congo Basin forests
Open AccessJoan Brandt, Jodi S Brandt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014
Tropical forest change is driven by demand in distant markets. Equally, investments in tropical forest landscapes by capital originating from distant emerging economies are on the rise. Understanding how forest outcomes vary by investment source is therefore becoming increasingly important. We empirically evaluate the relationship between investment source and deforestation from 2000 to 2010 in the Republic of Congo. A Congolese forestry code was…
Governance regime and location influence avoided deforestation success of protected areas in the Brazilian Amazon
Open AccessChristoph Nolte, Arun Agrawal et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2013
Protected areas in tropical countries are managed under different governance regimes, the relative effectiveness of which in avoiding deforestation has been the subject of recent debates. Participants in these debates answer appeals for more strict protection with the argument that sustainable use areas and indigenous lands can balance deforestation pressures by leveraging local support to create and enforce protective regulations. Which protecti…
Progress towards the CBD protected area management effectiveness targets
Open AccessLauren Coad, Fiona Leverington et al.ARTICLEPARKS2013
The management effectiveness of protected areas is a critically important consideration for their conservation success. Over 40 different protected area management effectiveness (PAME) data collection tools have been developed to systematically assess protected area management effectiveness. Many of these assessments have recently been collated into the Global IUCN Protected Area Management Effectiveness (PAME) database. We use the PAME database …
Setting priorities to avoid deforestation in Amazon protected areas
Open AccessChristoph Nolte, Arun Agrawal et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013
Cost-effective protected area networks require that decision makers have sufficient information to allocate investments in ways that generate the greatest positive impacts. With applications in more than 50 countries, the Rapid Assessment and Prioritization of Protected Area Management (RAPPAM) method is arguably the tool used most widely to assist such prioritization. The extent to which its indicators provide useful measures of a protected area…
