   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

   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.

   Biodiversity and Livelihoods: REDD-plus benefitsThis brochure provides background information on the linkages between ecosystem-based adaptation and mitigation measures. It aims to introduce experts, especially from the field of climate change, to the basic concepts of biodiversity, forest resilience and ecosystem-based adaptation. It also shows how the conservation and sustainable use of forest biodiversity can remedy forest degradation. ...

   Ecosystem-based adaptation: what role for policy-makers, society and scientists?In developing countries where economies and livelihoods depend largely on ecosystem services, policies for adaptation to climate change should take into account the role of these services in increasing the resilience of society. This article presents the key messages to national policy-makers, scientists and civil society from an international workshop on "Adaptation to Climate Change: the ro...

   Forests and climate change in Latin America: Linking adaptation and mitigationForest ecosystems play an important role in both adaptation and mitigation. This paper presents examples of linkages between adaptation and mitigation in Latin American forests in order to understand their trade-offs and synergies. It investigates the interaction between the two and analyses the opportunities for mainstreaming adaptation-mitigation linkages into forest or climate chang...
