Abstract

This paper analyses deforestation as an object of climate governance. It begins with an analysis of the REDD mechanism in the UN Convention on Climate Change, which combines legal, market and scientific rationalities with measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) technologies in a neoliberal green governmentality regime. This is followed by a discussion of the governance of natural resources under international environmental law. The paper concludes with a discussion of alternative conceptions of governance, ranging from the idea of the New Global Commons to the foregrounding of indigenous knowledge in agreements like the Universal Declaration on the Rights of Mother Earth.
