   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 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.

   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.

   The Potential of REDD to conserve the Amazon river systemRiver systems, such as the Amazon, are closely interdependent with riparian and upland forests, making them vulnerable to changes in forest cover and land use. By reducing deforestation and forest degradation, REDD can thus contribute to maintaining the stability of flow regimes and the overall resilience of the aquatic system. However, this report argues that REDD will have little or no dire...

   Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries (REDD) - the link with wetlandsThis background paper summarises the importance of wetlands in relation to climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. It particularly examines their potential role in the measures of carbon storage and ecosystem maintenance for REDD.

   The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon regionThis case study in Xingu river basin demonstrates that even small flows of carbon revenue could provide significant ecological benefits for aquatic ecosystems. The results suggest that overall watershed function would be best protected under a more even distribution of forests and that REDD co-benefits could be maximized in the context of an integrated regional plan.
