  1. RESILIENT COOPERATION: A (RE)NEW(ED) ALTERNATIVE TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CHRIS BISSON M.A. CANDIDATE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CARLETON UNIVERSITY OTTAWA, CANADA

  2. Summary • Introduction • What is permaculture • UNFCCC REDD+ & Adaptation Framework • Resilient Cooperation for Implementation • Conclusion

  3. What is permaculture? • “ an ethics based design process aimed at fostering and maintaining resilient and socially just human living spaces” - Chris Bisson • “Permanence” + “Culture” = Resilience • Problems are Opportunities

  4. UNFCCC • REDD+ & Adaptation Framework • 20% of human-produced greenhouse gasses worldwide is produced by forest loss (van der Werf et al 2009) • 300 million mostly Indigenous people living directly in the world’s forests (UNVC 2011) • AF: “reducing vulnerability and building resilience in developing country Parties” (FCCC 2010: 4)

  5. Resilient Cooperation • Resilience vs. Sustainable • Cooperation vs. Development • Vital Human Participation in the Biosphere • Horizontal and Democratic Agenda Setting and Programme Delivery. • Emphasis set on frontline communities and youth.

  6. Conclusion • “As in permaculture, many of the problems we face with climate change are opportunities to identify new ways to get back to what our goals were before we created the crisis”. - Chris Bisson
