Abstract
This study is aimed at describing peoples’ livelihoods, access to and use of land to determine whether REDD could be successful in Ghana as part of the globally emerging agenda of tackling climate change. To accomplish this, a case study was conducted in six villages

(Adonikrom, Boinso, Jensue, New Yakasi, Sewum and Asantekrom) in a high forest zone,

Aowin Suaman District, Ghana. Considering the aim of the study, the following research

questions were addressed: What are the main organizations and institutions involved in

management of land and forest resources and how do they deal with land issues? How

important are forests for peoples’ livelihoods and how does that vary across social economic

groups? What are the perceptions and attitudes of the local population towards forest

management? Last but not the least, what could be the expected effects of introducing REDD

in the study area?
