This event presents innovative findings from empirical research on forest conservation in Indonesia.

It launches the recently published book by Dr. Jonas Hein, Political Ecology of REDD+ in Indonesia: Agrarian Conflicts and Forest Carbon and discusses its insights at the nexus of development research, international climate governance and human rights.

The book presentation will be followed by an expert roundtable that brings together representatives from government, development cooperation, civil society and research to discuss the implications of agrarian conflicts for forest conservation and the relevance of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) for human rights and conservation policy.
