Foreign capital, forest change and regulatory compliance in Congo Basin forests
Tropical forest change is driven by demand in distant markets. Equally, investments in tropical forest landscapes by capital originating from distant emerging economies are on the rise.

Forests will have to adapt not only to changes in mean climate variables but also to increased variability with greater risk of extremeweather events, such as prolonged drought, storms and floods. Sensitivity, potential impacts, adaptive capacity, and vulnerabil...
