According to the authors, this book aims to establish the following:(1) what is right and wrong with the policy instruments for sustainable development; and (2) what is the best model to advance sustainable development. In particular, they focus on the comparison and evaluation of various policy measures on forest issues: the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) included in the Kyoto Protocol; Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and the Role of Conservation, Sustainable Management of Forests and Enhancement of Forest Carbon Stocks in Developing Countries (REDD+)[Post COP15] proposed by Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica in COP 13 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); forest certifications—the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC); the law enforcement system against illegally logged timbers—Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) in the EU; and policy measures for biodiversity—Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) and the Biodiversity Offset Mechanism (BOM) proposed in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) framework. In the global forest issue field, negotiations on the adoption of a legally binding treaty on global forest management had reached a deadlock, and in 1992 a non-legally binding declaration of forest principles was agreed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). After that, diverse policy measures began in various contexts, and a “wide range of institutions that share a number of commonalities coexist, but at times these can function within a series of ‘silos.’”(p. 2). Thus the intention of this volume and the policy measures it analyzes and compares seem very sympathetic with many experts in forest issues.In Chapter 1, the authors take up two policy measures, the CDM and REDD+, both of which are UNFCCC strategies. The CDM is one of the Kyoto mechanisms in the Kyoto Protocol, whereby developed countries could use the credit accruing from their emissions reduction projects in developing countries in the commitment period 2008–12. In 2013, there were over 7,000 projects, and the amount of credits issued equated to 1.2 billion tons of carbon. But the authors state that “the ability to which the CDM can both reduce GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions and deliver sustainable development has been questioned”(p. 28). The authors cite several reasons for this. First, the focus on project-based reductions rather than larger programs of technological transformation by developing countries has not lowered transaction costs or created
