    Rural Peoples’ Perception to Climate Variability/Change in Cross River State-Nigeria

    Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2014
    This study attempts to assess perception level of rural people to climate change in selected communities in Cross River State, Nigeria. Results showed 71.7 per cent of the people are aware of climate change. They also indicated that the onset of rains is now delayed while cessation is earlier against the trend in the past.

    Single-year mitigation targets: Uncharted territory for emissions trading and unit transfers

    Stockholm Environment Institute, 2014
    This working paper explores the question of target “time frame” and its implications for the generation and use of tradable emissions units. The paper argues that countries relying solely on single-year targets present greater uncertainty with regard to their emissions pathways, and raise concerns regarding both ambition and comparability with other targets.

    Integrating climate change in the post-2015 development agenda

    Climate and Development Knowledge Network, 2014
    This paper argues that the long-term success of the post-2015 framework will ultimately depend upon how ‘climate smart’ it is. It outlines the significance of climate change for different development objectives and the options for integrating climate change into the post-2015 development framework, as a crucial factor in poverty reduction and sustainable development.

    Fact sheet. Project: Development of biomass estimation models for carbon monitoring in selected vegetation types of Tanzania

    2013
    The carbon benefits of any forest carbon project are estimated on the basis of changes of carbon stocks in different biomass pools and such changes may be determined through continuous forest inventories, possibly combined with growth estimates, and the use of models for biomass estimation, i.e. allometric biomass equations.
