Barrier analysis to leverage the climate change mitigation-adaptation implementation action in mangrove forest and its surrounding community villages

Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation with Urban planning for a Livable city in Tehran

Climate change impacts are seen within growing numbers of cities in low- and middle-income countries, so there is growing interest in the adaptation and mitigation plans and programs put forward by city authorities. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the constraints which cities face them in this subject by analyzing the case of Tehran. City has a commitment to decentralizatio...

Adaptation of forest trees to climate change

There is an urgent need to determine the adaptive potential of forest trees given their importance in ecosystem functioning and the associated ecological and economic services they provide. Indeed, underestimating rapid adaptation could lead to unnecessary recommendations such as the use of non-native (and perhaps non-adapted) genetic material for reforestation. Overestimating adaptive potentia...

Integration of Adaptation and Mitigation in Climate Change and Forest Policies in Indonesia and Vietnam

Forests play a major role in both climate change mitigation and adaptation, but few policies, if any, integrate these two aspects. Using Indonesia and Vietnam as case studies, we identify challenges at the national level but opportunities at the local level. Although both countries demonstrate political commitment to integrating adaptation and mitigation in their development plans, guidelines f...

Beyond Mitigation: Planning for Climate Change Adaptation

Introduction to Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options

Climate is a critical factor shaping the structure and function of forest ecosystems in the Southern United States. Human induced changes in climate systems have resulted in an increase in the global average air temperature of about 0.8°C since the 1900s (Pachuri and Reisinger 2007). Data from long-term weather stations show that overall, the continental United States has warmed during the past...
