Fact sheet. Project: Comparative study of incentive options for forest - based emissions reduction, biodiversity conservation and livelihood improvement; Case of Kilwa and Lindi Districts
Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013The project entails a comparative study on incentive options for forest-based emissions reduction, biodiversity conservation and livelihood improvement, comparing villages with REDD+/PFM (Participatory Forest Managment) and without REDD+/PFM and also comparing each set of villages over time.DocumentFact sheet. Project: Developing a fire reduction strategy for Miombo Woodlands as a potential tool for carbon storage and sequestration
Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013Fire occurs in most parts of the Miombo woodlands and is used for a variety of purposes, including hunting and farming. However, fires can have significant negative ecological and socio-economic impacts such as a reduced water supply; decline in biodiversity and agriculture production; increased pollution of water sources; and reduced carbon sequestration.DocumentFact sheet. Project: Climate Change, Non - Timber Forest Products and Livelihood of Forest Dependent Communities - Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation in Tanzania
Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013Over 20 million Tanzanians depend on Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) for their livelihood, but the extent to which NTFPs and community livelihoods are vulnerable to climate change is not well established. The coping strategies of these communities have not been fully documented either.DocumentFact sheet. Project: Development of biomass estimation models for carbon monitoring in selected vegetation types of Tanzania
2013The 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.DocumentFact sheet. Project: REDD Architecture in Tanzania: Assessment of REDD options for Livelihood Security and Sustainable Development
Sokoine University of Agriculture, 2013Climate change is one of the biggest global problems posing challenges to sustainable livelihoods and economic development, particularly for Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The adverse impacts of climate change on environment, human health, food security, human settlements, economic activities, natural resources and physical infrastructure are already noticeable in many countries.DocumentNorway's International Climate and Forest Initiative: a strategic evaluation
2014Norway has created the political space needed to improve forest governance. This is one of the conclusions in a new evaluation of Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI).DocumentTechnical Paper: The risk of disaster-induced displacement. Central America and the Caribbian
Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, 2013This technical paper provides evidence-based estimates of the likelihood of disaster-induced displacement in Central American and selected Caribbean states – Belize, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama. It represents a first attempt to better quantify human displacement risk.DocumentTechnical paper: The risk of disaster-induced displacement in the Pacific island states
Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, 2014This technical paper represents an initial attempt to assess the risk of disaster-induced displacement in 21 island states in the South Pacific.DocumentTenure Issues in REDD+ Pilot Project Sites in Tanzania
Forests - Open Access Journal, 2014REDD+ has been proposed as a viable option for addressing climate change in the near term, and at relatively low cost. There is a broad consensus that clearly defined tenure rights are important for the implementation and success of REDD+, both to manage forests effectively and to protect local communities’ livelihoods.DocumentZambia - Atlas of our Changing Environment
GRID Arendal, 2013Zambia has abundant water resources, vast forests, huge mineral deposits, and large tracts of arable land. These natural resources are important for the country’s economy, with copper and cobalt being the country’s main exports.Pages
