Overview
Livelihood Sovereignty is ‘a holistic ethical alternative solution’ which consists of five inter-relative rights: 1) The right to land, forest and water, clean air and natural landscape (basic); 2) The right to maintain one’s own religion (unique); 3) The right to live according to one’s own way of life and values of happiness and wellbeing within one’s own natural environment (practice); 4) The right to operate according to one’s own knowledge and decide what to plant, initiate, create and invent on one’s own land; (holistic); and 5) The right to co-manage or co-govern natural resources with neighboring communities and local authorities (strategic).

| Abstract: |
This essay aims to assess the extent to which biodiverse and carbon forest plantings can be used to mitigate Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. Crucial in this assessment is the question of scale i.e. defining the scale at which can the option generate positive impacts given currently limited investments. In relation to scale, it is essential to understand the level of uptake (or rate of adoption) by rural landholders as to understand the current interests, and thus reflecting the credibility and feasibility of the option. This essay concludes that biodiverse and carbon forest plantings has a potential to contribute to climate change mitigation; nevertheless, would require to reach out to rural landholders for higher uptake as well as (possibly) demanding stable carbon pricing mechanism to achieve further credibility. |
