16 CONCLUDING REMARKS Securing community forest tenure is a potential good “investment” as a solution to tackling climate change Community forests generate a variety of economic benefits, ecosystem services and behavioral changes (conflict resolution, capacity building); need further economic analysis to show more accurate value of these Potentially a cost-effective solution if compared to technology based solutions (comparison not developed in the paper) Upcoming report: Original matching analysis + extension to Amazon region (Colombia & Bolivia) 3. Concluding Remarks

17 TERMINOLOGY Community Forests: Forests on indigenous or community land Land rights: An individual’s or community’s rights to land including rights of access, withdrawal, management, exclusion, and alienation Tenure Security: The certainty that an individual’s or community’s land rights to land will be recognized Ecosystem Services: Resources provided by the environment utilized by humans Benefit-Cost Analysis: A decision support tool used to compare benefits and costs of a policy or investment action 1.
