Forest and Climate Change
This programme will deal with harnessing forests, agroforestry and trees for climate change mitigation and will support risk management through enhanced prediction of climate impacts on forest genetic resources and other ecosystem services. Priority areas include:
- Vulnerability assessment
- Development of landscape management systems /production technologies adapted to climate change and variability in time and space
- Land use practices and impacts on emissions, livelihoods and environmental sustainability
- Institutional arrangements and incentives that enable communities to reduce GHGs and improve livelihoods
- Innovative risk management strategies that foster resilient rural livelihoods for sustainable landscape restoration
- Climate change impacts on natural resources and mitigation measures.
