Economics of forest conservation and development under international agreements

Economics of Forest Conservation and Development under International Agreements examines how global treaties and frameworks—such as REDD+, the Paris Agreement, and the Convention on Biological Diversity—shape financial incentives and economic policies for forest protection and sustainable use. This topic explores the costs, benefits, and funding mechanisms involved in balancing conservation goals with development needs. It highlights how international cooperation facilitates investments in forest ecosystems, supports climate mitigation, and promotes equitable economic opportunities for local and Indigenous communities.
