Reviews

'The climate crisis cannot be addressed unless deforestation, especially in tropical countries, is rapidly brought under control. REDD+ is emerging as the mechanism of choice to achieve this goal yet it remains a work in progress and is subject to a range of questions as to how it aligns with other elements that make up the complex international climate regime. This impressive collection, authored by leading scholars, practitioners and government advisors provides a rich and timely account of REDD+ and the challenges yet to be overcome. It is indispensable reading for all those interested in global forest governance.'- Tim Stephens, University of Sydney, Australia; 'Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) is vitally important to global climate change policy, but even many veteran negotiators shy away from the topic because of its perceived complexity. Christina Voigt has brought together a distinguished group of contributors to produce this Research Handbook on the legal issues relating to REDD. Providing an authoritative overview of the subject, it will be the go to work for practitioners and the public alike.'- Daniel Bodansky, Arizona State University, US
