Ashish Aggarwal and Dan Brockington

Land Use Policy, 2020, vol. 95, issue C

Abstract: Forest carbon projects, in addition to climate mitigation and conservation benefits, are expected to improve local livelihoods and contribute to poverty alleviation across developing countries. Despite substantial investments over last decade, there is limited empirical evidence on the livelihood impacts of these projects especially across different socioeconomic categories.
