    The major role tropical forests play in
    biodiversity and climate change has led the world to search
    for effective ways to slow down deforestation. Community
    forest management (CFM) is an example of the broader concept
    of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM). As
    part of the decentralization policy in many countries,
    mainly in Africa and Asia, CFM was expected to promote: (i)
    a more effective stewardship of the resources by involving

The World Bank Group environment strategy is built on three pillars: leveraging natural resources for growth and poverty reduction; managing the environmental risks to growth and development; and transforming growth paths. As part of its exploration of these three pillars, the strategy considers the question of environmental co-benefits of climate change actions.

    This paper examines whether cooperative
    behavior by respondents measured as contributions in a
    one-shot public goods game correlates with reported
    pro-forest collective action behaviors. All the outcomes
    analyzed are costly in terms of time, land, or money. The
    study finds significant evidence that more cooperative
    individuals (or those who believe their group members will
    cooperate) engage in collective action behaviors that

    Western Asia, Northern Africa

    The North Eastern Region (NER) in India is endowed with rich energy resources but faces significant bottlenecks in electricity access and availability levels. The per capita power consumption in NER is one-third of the national average. The region has a shortfall of about 500MW installed capacity against peak demand of about 1950 MW. No significant generation capacity has been added in the recent past. Therefore, inadequate power supply continues a critical constraint to sustainable growth and economic development in the NER.

    medical plants as their only source of health care,
    especially in rural areas where access to villages is
    lacking due to the absence of vehicular roads. The
    increasing scarcity of medicinal plant species represents a
    trend that should be immediately addressed. The health and
    drug policies of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health recognize
    the important role medical plants and traditional health

    in ways that may improve the effectiveness of law as a
    foundation for sustainable forest management. Part One
    locates forestry law within the wider legal framework,
