Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: biodiverse carbon plantings as a tool for mitigating and adapting to climate change -- Adaptive Governance -- Understanding stakeholders: awareness of carbon farming schemes -- Landholders' sociocultural drivers influencing decision-making and participation in carbon farming -- understanding stakeholders: post-adoption in carbon farming -- Similarities and differences in stakeholders' voices -- Conclusion

Drawing on the contrast between science and policy stakeholders’ views on carbon farming and the practical challenges of achieving adaptive governance, the book discusses the significant gap between theory and practice encountered in this field of study. The book suggests ways of improving the decision-making capacity of government officials and policymakers involved in managing carbon and biodiversity markets, as well as introducing measures to promote adaptive governance by engaging landholders in more effective land conservation.
