Rights-based conservation: an alternative pathway for institutional climate action

自愿碳市场一直被批评未能实现气候目标，并造成长期的社会危害。这项研究提出了“基于权利的气候行动”的概念，作为一种新的方法，这种方法可能能够产生更好的气候和环境影响，同时也支持社会成果。基于权利的保护是近年来出现的一个术语，涵盖了广泛的干预措施，旨在通过加强土著人民和森林社区（ipfc）的土地权属来实现积极的环境成果。这一点尚未纳入自愿碳市场的研究和实践。该项目将通过调查包括高等教育机构在内的非国家行为体在支持以权利为基础的项目方面的潜在作用，作为传统抵消的另一种气候行动形式，从而做出原创性贡献。该项目的目的是开展生产性研究，以解决如何以以下方式保护和恢复土地、海洋和生态系统的紧迫问题：(a)为减缓和适应气候做出有意义的贡献；(b)关注我们共同但有区别的响应能力（Haraway 2016）彼此和土地。

The voluntary carbon market has been criticised for failing to deliver climate goals as well as perpetuating social harms. This research proposes the concept of "rights-based climate action" as a new approach, one that may be able to deliverbetter climate and environmental impacts while also supporting social outcomes. Rights-based conservation is a term that has emerged in recent years to cover a breadth of interventions that seek to achieve positive environmentaloutcomes through strengthening the land tenure of Indigenous Peoples and Forest Communities (IPFCs). This has not been integrated into the research and practice on voluntary carbon markets. This project will make an originalcontribution by investigating the potential role of non-state actors, including higher education institutions, in supporting rights-based projects as an alternative form of climate action to traditional offsets. The aim of this project is to producegenerative research that can contribute the urgent question of how to protect and restore land, seas, and ecosystems in ways that (a) meaningfully contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation and (b) attend to our common but differentiated response-abilities (Haraway 2016) to each other and the land.
