States, Markets and Development Practices - Mitigating Climate Change in the Post-National Context Eero Palmujoki, University of Tampere Pekka Virtanen, University of Jyväskylä 1

REDD • Reducing Emmissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation • To assign a financial value for the carbon stored in forest by offering financial initiatives to developing countries for reducing the emission that result from clearing forests • Only pilot projects • REDD + (UN REDD + World Banks programmes) 2

Practices • Precedural Practices - Limit more concrete practices - In climate change mitigation, for example ”Common but Differentiated Responsibilitties” • Anchoring Practices - connects in certain domains procedural practices to more specific national practices 3

The anchoring practices of REDD • Sovereignty, conservation practices, sustainable forest practices, local and indigeneous people’s rights, participation of civil society • CDM’s carbon trade pracitces & LULUCF (land use and land-use change and forestry) • MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification): - Additionality - Leakage - Permanency - Monitoring of emissions 4

REDD practices in Ghana, Mozambique and Tanzania • Technical nature of MRV’s practices get strong political content in national contexts • Global rule making is turned to government’s authority - Sovereignty & leakage • Private sector & civil society and local people in minor roles 5
