RURAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH CARBON FINANCE - SEBA...

In a timely contribution to the international discussion of the post-Kyoto climate regime this
study hypothesizes that Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the land use and forestry
sector are an efficient instrument for climate change mitigation that contributes to rural
development and poverty alleviation at the same time. To this end  the study analyzes
socio-economic aspects of a forestry project established under the CDM rules considering an
East African case study exemplarily. An agricultural household survey in Tanzania delivered the
empirical data for the structural equation model at the center of the analysis. Looking at
different farm assets it is shown that the benefits of land use-related climate projects go way
beyond pure mitigation. They also have a positive impact on a very broad asset base on which
poor farm households depend. Hence  the current CDM only allowing for afforestation and
reforestation projects is far too restricted to deliver on its twin objective.
