Short Abstract:

Governance affects the potential of renewable natural resources to be used sustainably and contribute to improved livelihoods. The panel welcomes paper proposals that explore the experience and challenges of governance arrangements of resources, such as fisheries, forests and grazing land.

Long Abstract:

The nature and performance of the governance of renewable natural resources is critical in delivering on sustainability and equity in developing countries. Yet many governance arrangements fail to deliver on either. Since at least the 1980s, the governance of fisheries, forests, coastal ecosystems and national parks has in many developing countries aimed to move closer to resource users, through forms of decentralised, collaborative and community-based governance. Such decentralised and participatory arrangements have been highly constrained and have not always been viewed as successful. In addition, a range of measures such as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes and REDD+ has provided both new impetus and challenges to governance approaches. The panel welcomes paper proposals that seek to explore and demonstrate the experience and challenges associated with governance arrangements of renewable natural resources in terms of contributing to sustainability and improved livelihood outcomes. Papers may draw on a range of analytical approaches and empirical cases, focusing on any or all level of analysis â€" from the global to the local. The panel is organised by the DSA Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change Study Group.
