“…The sharing across commodity flows of responsibility for emissions (stock change) is not easy, as a typical sequence of logging for high-value timber, overlogging for pulp-and-paper industry, and conversion to oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), coffee (Coffea arabica and C. canephora), or cocoa ( Theobroma cacao) production shows. An example with apparently "deforestation-free" conversion of swiddens that otherwise would have recovered as secondary forests to coffee gardens was described for Vietnam [45,46] . Sustainable intensification of agriculture has been recognized as one of the requirements for human prosperity and global sustainability [47] , but how this relates to simultaneously closing existing yield and efficiency gaps in multifunctional land use and their GHG emissions per unit product remains contested.…”

The urgent global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions depends on political commitments to common but differentiated responsibility. Carbon footprints as a metric of attributable emissions reflect individually determined contributions within, and aggregated national contributions between, countries. Footprints per unit product (e.g., of food, feed, fuel, or fiber) require a lifecycle analysis and support individual decisions on consumption and lifestyles. This perspective presents a framework for analysis that connects the various operationalizations and their use in informing consumer and policy decisions. Footprints show geographical variation and are changing as part of political-economic and social-ecological systems. Articulation of footprints may trigger further change. Carbon footprints partially correlate with water and biodiversity footprints as related ecological footprint concepts. The multifunctionality of land use, as a solution pathway, can be reflected in aggregated footprint metrics. Credible footprint metrics can contribute to change but only if political commitments and social-cultural values and responsibilities align.

“…Third, in 'Ten Years of REDD+: A Critical Review of the Impact of REDD+ on Forest-Dependent Communities', Bayrak and Marafa [16] focus on the case of Vietnam, analysing the developmental outcomes of the 'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation program' (REDD+) by stressing the need for a systems approach. The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of REDD+ on forest-dependent communities.…”

The aim of this special issue is to push forward the frontier of development studies by analysing local livelihoods from a ‘flows of capital/people’ perspective. In development studies, and especially in livelihood research, local development has long been defined in terms of local people’s agency and the importance of capitals and capabilities. Over the last decade, however, the context of local development has undergone considerable change. Globalisation, in alternation with deglobalisation, has given rise to new and intensified flows and circulations: the total volume and the diversity of capital flows and flows of people have rapidly increased, often going hand in hand with flows of goods, knowledge and ideas. Rather than looking at local development in terms of local people having access to and control of local resources, we acknowledge the importance networked space and positionality. Local development opportunities are very much determined by translocal linkages—what is happening in other places, sometimes directly, as a result of flows of capital, goods, people and information. The various articles in this special issue contribute to a better understanding of the link between large-scale flows of capital/people and local development, focusing on questions such as: what kinds of mobilities are taking place and in which directions? What are the new geographies of development, and what are the consequences of the inflows and outflows of capital/people (including goods and ideas) for local development and achieving the various sustainable development goals? In analysing the link between different types of capital/people flows and inclusive development, each article in this special issue focuses on a particular type of flow of capital/people and its multiple impacts in terms of local livelihood development. Case studies focus on Sub-Sahara Africa (Ghana, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Senegal, Rwanda); Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia, India) and Latin America.

“…Thereby our study intends to add to the existing research body by empirically examining the association between social capital and rural households' perceptions toward benefits of FCS projects based on data from a rural household survey in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces (China). Because costs and benefits of agricultural and forestry projects are commonly categorized into social, economic, and environmental dimensions [6,[21][22][23][24], we investigate rural households' perceptions toward social, economic, and environmental benefits of FCS projects. Based on data collected from 450 rural households, our study uses proportional odds model as the statistical method to examine the relationship between social capital and rural households' perceptions toward social, economic, and environmental benefits of FCS projects.…”

We examined the associations between social capital and rural households’ perceptions toward social, economic, and environmental benefits of forest carbon sequestration projects by employing the proportional odds model based on data collected from a rural household survey in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, China. Results revealed that: (i) households’ perceptions toward environmental benefits are more positive than their perceptions toward economic benefits and social benefits, and their perceptions toward economic benefits are more positive than their perceptions toward social benefits; (ii) households having a good relationship with village officials have higher odds of holding more positive perceptions toward social, economic, and environmental benefits of the projects; (iii) households which are members of local associations are more likely to have positive perceptions toward benefits of the projects; (iv) households whose members are more frequently involved in village-level public events are more likely to have more positive perceptions toward benefits of the projects; (v) households having more educated household heads have higher odds of holding better perceptions toward the benefits of FCS projects; and (vi) households of Yunnan Province are less likely to express positive perceptions toward benefits of the projects. Based on the research results, we concluded that social capital is significantly and positively associated with rural households’ perceptions toward benefits of forest carbon sequestration projects. Some policy implications are provided regarding how to make use of social capital elements to shape farmers’ perceptions toward benefits of the projects for the purpose of achieving a higher level of local acceptability for and sustainability of the projects.
