Abstract

Land management changes are and will continue to play a substantial role in national and global strategies towards decarbonisation goals. Yet, roles for land managers and their communities to co-create opportunities for just transitions are not well represented or accounted for in policy instruments or markets, including those for carbon offsets. Understanding regional context is critical to identify strategies for land management changes to underpin just transitions. We outline a mixed-methods approach involving an analysis of socio-economic data and a critical review of regional plans to identify the benefit aspirations that communities have articulated, and the drivers of transitions already at play to understand how land sector carbon abatement projects could support regional transitions. This approach is demonstrated using a case study region in Queensland, Australia. The case study region hosts land sector carbon abatement projects under a national policy that incentivises least cost abatement and under a state policy that incentivises land sector carbon abatement with bundled environmental and social co-benefits. The results show that across sectors and locations, communities are seeking economic, cultural, and social outcomes that can be delivered as co-benefits of land management changes for carbon abatement. Our analysis shows that the value of multiple co-benefits is place-specific and dependent on the provenance of land management changes and broader regional conditions. By understanding regional contexts and aspirations, it is possible to identify how and where land sector carbon abatement investments can be negotiated between investors and communities to support just transitions to low-carbon futures.

实现土地恢复过渡:提升地区声音和昆士兰牧场共同利益的来源
土地管理变革在实现脱碳目标的国家和全球战略中正在并将继续发挥重要作用。然而,土地管理者及其社区在共同创造公正过渡机会方面的作用并未在政策工具或市场(包括碳抵消市场)中得到充分体现或考虑。了解地区背景对于确定土地管理变革战略以支持公正过渡至关重要。我们概述了一种混合方法,包括社会经济数据分析和对区域规划的批判性审查,以确定社区所表达的利益愿望,以及已在发挥作用的转型驱动因素,从而了解土地部门碳减排项目如何支持区域转型。我们利用澳大利亚昆士兰州的一个案例研究区域来展示这种方法。该案例研究地区的土地部门碳减排项目由国家政策和州政策提供支持,国家政策鼓励最低成本减排,州政策则鼓励土地部门碳减排与环境和社会共同利益捆绑在一起。结果表明,在各个领域和地点,社区都在寻求经济、文化和社会成果,这些成果可以作为土地管理变革的共同效益来实现碳减排。我们的分析表明,多种共同效益的价值因地而异,取决于土地管理变革的起源和更广泛的区域条件。通过了解地区背景和愿望,可以确定投资者和社区之间如何以及在何处协商土地部门碳减排投资,以支持向低碳未来的公正过渡。

期刊介绍: The Rangeland Journal publishes original work that makes a significant contribution to understanding the biophysical, social, cultural, economic, and policy influences affecting rangeland use and management throughout the world. Rangelands are defined broadly and include all those environments where natural ecological processes predominate, and where values and benefits are based primarily on natural resources. Articles may present the results of original research, contributions to theory or new conclusions reached from the review of a topic. Their structure need not conform to that of standard scientific articles but writing style must be clear and concise. All material presented must be well documented, critically analysed and objectively presented. All papers are peer-reviewed. The Rangeland Journal is published on behalf of the Australian Rangeland Society.
