“Contradictions of Nature-based Solutions – Insights from Brazil” (Prof. Dr. Maria Backhouse)
?
In recent years, the IPPC and other influential global environmental and climate policy bodies have promoted?Nature-Based?Solutions?(NBS). An important approach for NBS is?Reducing?Emissions from?Deforestation and Forest?Degradation?(REDD+). This market-based approach aims to create financial incentives for forest and climate protection. The talk will discuss the contradictions of this approach from a political ecology perspective, using the example of the Brazilian Amazon Basin.
