International forest policy integration: Who benefits from the interplay of international forest and climate institutions in the case of REDD+ formulation?

本项目评估国际森林和气候机构之间在将森林纳入全球气候政策领域（国际森林政策一体化）方面的相互作用如何使最有影响力的国家和跨国国家以及非国家行为体受益。这是通过基于利益的分析来完成的，分析机构和行为者对正在制定但零散的REDD+方案的贡献。提出了以下目标：1。分析REDD+制定过程中主要的国家和跨国国家和非国家行为体及其利益。审查利益驱动的主要行为者对制定的直接贡献。审查主要行为者通过国际气候和森林机构组织对制定的利益驱动的间接贡献。审查国际机构独立作出的贡献。分析谁的利益得到国际机构及其组织对REDD+制定的贡献的支持（基于2、3和4的结果）。找出两者同时存在的案例，这些问题将通过对主要森林和气候机构（即《联合国气候变化框架公约》秘书处和联合国森林论坛秘书处）和选定国家国家协调中心的经验丰富的专家和主要官员的定性访谈以及对公开和内部文件的内容分析来解决。​通过三角测量得到的数据将得到验证。这些结果将有助于当前关于REDD+内部政治影响的科学辩论，有助于国际机构的相互作用，特别是有助于全球森林政治（国际）森林政策整合领域。

This project assesses how the interactions between international forest- and climate-institutions concerning the integration of forests into the global climate policy domain (international forest policy integration) benefit the most influential national and multinational state and non-state actors. This is done by an interest-based analysis of the institutions and actors contributions to the ongoing formulation of a yet fragmented REDD+ programme. The following objectives are put forth:1. Analysing the main national and multinational state and non-state actors and their interests within the ongoing process of REDD+ formulation 2. Examining the main actors interest-driven direct contribution to the formulation 3. Examining the main actors interest-driven indirect contribution to the formulation via the organisations of the international climate and forest institutions4. Examining contributions independently made by the international institutions5. Analysing whose interests are supported by the international institutions and their organisations contributions to REDD+ formulation (building on the results of 2, 3 and 4)6. Identify cases in which both, forest and climate institutions and/or influential actors show congruent preferences in support of integrationThese questions will be addressed by combining qualitative interviews with experienced experts and key bureaucrats of the major forest- and climate-institutions (i.e. the secretariats of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the United Nations Forum on Forests) and the National Focal Points of selected states with content analyses of public and internal documents. Through triangulation the data derived will be validated. The results will contribute to the current scientific debate on political influence within REDD+ , to the interplay of international institutions and especially to the fields of (international) forest policy integration in global forest politics.
