   Water resources management and REDD+ in East Africa (Swahili)Shughuri za MKUHUMI zinaweza kuwa na manufaa zaidi ya kupunguza uzalishaji wa hewa ya Ukaa na kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Katika misitu ambayo hutoa huduma mbalimbali kama vile katika vyanzo vya maji ambavyo pia vinahifadhi bioanuai za kipekee,thamani ya huduma zote inaweza kuwa kubwa maradufu kuliko thamani ya Kaboni peke yake

   Asia-Pacific Bulletin 5: Drivers of deforestation and REDD+ - can REDD+ compete?This bulletin looks at how to address the drivers of deforestation to acheive REDD+ and the socio-economic implications of doing so. It covers the issue of what opportunity costs mean, including their implications for local communities. A number of articles in the bulletin outline that to tackle deforestation in a socially equitable way, not only must the drivers of deforestation be considere...

   Forest Tenure and Multi-level Governance in Avoiding Deforestation under REDD+This paper investigates the role of forest tenure in creating a sustainable and effective mechanism on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). It draws together existing knowledge and experience of forest tenure issues as they play out in real contexts, and evaluates their implications for REDD+. In particular, it challenges the argument that simply harmonising d...

   REDD+ and other sectors in East Africa: opportunities for cross-sectoral implementationAs REDD+ implementation will affect many actors, it is important that it involves a multi-stakeholder process, involving governments and civil society in East Africa. This paper outlines the status of REDD+ processes, opportunities and challenges in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, and points out current and potential synergies between REDD+ and the key economic sectors of agriculture and food sec...

   REDD+ and adaptation to climate change in East AfricaIn East Africa REDD+ has the potential to contribute to national adaptation objectives, however if uncoordinated, it also has the potential to increase vulnerability in key sectors such as agriculture, energy and water resource management. This paper outlines the linkages between REDD+ and adapation strategies in the region, and highlights where these could be strengthened.

   REDD+ and adaptation: will REDD+ contribute to adaptive capacity at the local level?Adaptation is of high priority in many developing countries where the impacts of climate change are already being felt. REDD+ is a mitigation opportunity for many developing countries, however for the benefits to be maximised it should be designed in a way that meets national development objectives, including adaptation objectives. This paper examines how synergies between REDD+ and adaptive ...

   Water resources management and REDD+ in East AfricaREDD+ may contribute more than just climate change mitigation. If REDD+ is implemented in key catchment areas, it can also contribute to restoration and sustenance of water flows in key catchments. This paper outlines the linkages between REDD+ and water resources management in East Africa, and suggests how the synergies between the two can be maximised.

    REDD+ and energy for rural development in East AfricaDue to the rising energy demand in East Africa, with a fast growing population that is heavily reliant on fuel wood, to be effective REDD+ needs to contribute to reducing pressure on the remaining forest resources, while promoting affordable, alternative, renewable energy options. This article examines the linkages bewteen REDD+ and energy in East Africa, and suggests ways in which these stra...
