Funded Activity Summary

Contested Geographies of Terrestrial Carbon. National pledges to tackle climate change rely heavily on land to sequester and store carbon. How competing ideas about land use are negotiated and institutionalised in the climate regime is critical to effective, just and legitimate climate responses. This project aims to explain the political economy of the science and policy of land-based climate mitigation, generating new knowledge on who promotes carbon sinks and why. The expected project outcomes include guidelines to advance more just and sustainable land use through improved carbon accounting practices, using an innovative approach that combines stakeholder interviews, discourse analysis, and expert elicitation. These outcomes will notably benefit rural communities and farmers.
