Dr. Bush is interested in how local behavioral phenomena and economic structures influence the outcomes of international and regional environmental policies. His work addresses the policy, social and microeconomic factors that influence resource use decisions, with a particular focus on households and agricultural communities and enterprises in forest landscapes. He is engaged in real-world evaluation of strategies for driving sustainable development and investment incentives for forest conservation.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bush leads Projet Equateur, a multi-faceted policy research and capacity building program aimed at conserving forests while promoting sustainable development and improving quality of life in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Previously, he has lived and worked in Africa and in Central and Southeast Asia as a researcher, project manager, and consultant on natural resource, environmental management and conservation projects in the public and private sector. He has held positions with the UK Government Department for International Development, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International.<\/p>\n

He enjoys sailing, clamming, and being in the woods. He and his family are voluntary stewards for a parcel of upland fields and forest held by The 300 Committee Land Trust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Community evaluation of forest governance in the DRC<\/a><\/h3>
15\/12\/2022<\/abbr><\/span><\/div>
The DRC has over 100 million hectares of forest and has significant potential to benefit from these forests through REDD+ if they are managed effectively. The research shows that building the right capacity, consulting and accessing the needs of the community, and building long-term projects and partnerships are key success factors for improving forest governance.<\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>

Policy brief: Ecosystem integrity maximises climate mitigation and minimises risk in international forest policy<\/a><\/h3>
16\/11\/2022<\/abbr><\/span><\/div>
The ecological, social and economic values of forests are widely known and avoiding their loss and degradation has been recognized in national and international policy as critical for helping address the many global problems we face. <\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>

Assessing community readiness for REDD+ projects in the DRC<\/a><\/h3>
28\/10\/2022<\/abbr><\/span><\/div>
Payment for ecosystem service (PES) schemes are programmes that compensate forest communities for refraining from undertaking extractive uses, such as mining, intensive logging, and clearing. PES schemes can be important policy tools in meeting climate targets but effective deployment demands an understanding of local deforestation drivers and host communities\u2019 preferences.<\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>

Using ecosystem integrity to maximise climate mitigation and minimise risk in international forest policy<\/a><\/h3>
16\/09\/2022<\/abbr><\/span><\/div>
Rules and guidelines that treat forests equally in key international policy frameworks regardless of their risk profiles limit their effectiveness and can facilitate forest degradation. Here we assess the potential for using a framework of ecosystem integrity to guide policy goals.<\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>

Comparing community needs and REDD+ for capacity building and forest protection<\/a><\/h3>
15\/06\/2022<\/abbr><\/span><\/div>
Capacity building activities done through REDD+ schemes can meet the many technical needs but there are likely a number of systemic capacity needs that are unlikely to be addressed through existing processes. Missing are education and training in governance and management, as well as fundamental education in sustainability. Failure to address these needs risks undermining any implementation of REDD+.<\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>

Regenerative forest economies: Micro-economics perspectives<\/a><\/h3>
08\/05\/2019<\/abbr><\/span><\/div>
The micro-economics teams from Griffith University and Woods Hole Climate Research Center introduce how environmental economics can play a role in demonstrating - or quantifying (often in dollar terms) many forest values - and economics can also play a role in designing schemes that can help forest communities begin to capture the benefits provided by conservation efforts. \r\n<\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
