The role of forests in fighting climate change has been acknowledged worldwide. Climate change mitigation interventions, and in particular, measures to ensure Carbon sequestration are aimed at impr...
Climate change and climate variability remain a global concern to many stakeholders. This is because of significant rise of temperature resulting to global warming due to increase of anthropogenic ...
The rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions especially Carbon dioxide (CO2) has led to the recognition of forests as important agents for climate change mitigation (CCM) through the process of Carbo...
This compendium provides essential information on the interactions between forests and climate change, the concept of adaptation, and the role of forests in climate change adaptation. These interac...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) asserts that there is unequivocal evidence that there have been unprecedented widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere ...
The ability of a forest ecosystem to adjust to climate change to reduce its vulnerability and enhance its resilience to anticipated impacts of climate change is the main thrust of this module. Clim...
Climate change is a global challenge that requires global solutions as GHG emissions have the same impact on the atmosphere affecting everyone. In this regard, action by one country to reduce emiss...
This compendium addresses the subject on the basic science of climate change: climate modelling and scenario development for professional training on forestry and related sectors in Africa. Climate...
This training session introduces payment for ecosystem services (PES). Ecosystem services are benefits humans obtain from nature. The session defines ecosystem services, explains types of ecosystem...
The carbon market mechanisms (emission exchange, Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM), Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and voluntary markets) are considered a...
Carbon market mechanisms, including emissions trading, Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and voluntary markets are seen as ...
The science of climate change looks at how the Earth’s climate has changed over the years and the causes as well as the possible future changes which could result from human interference with the c...
Increasing of green house gases (GHG) emissions in the atmosphere is raising global concern. This is because these emissions have led to a shift of temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns and ...
A clear understanding of the basics of the science of climate change lays a foundation on the terms, definitions, and concepts used and their application in forestry science. This module will intro...
