Hope in a Changing Climate
This documentary demonstrates that it is possible to rehabilitate large-scale damaged ecosystems to sequester carbon and fundamentally improve the lives of people who have been trapped in poverty.
Spekboom Carbon Sequestration and Rehabilitation Project
In the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, Subtropical Thicket has faced severe pressure from agriculture. Originally spekboom-dominated thicket covered approximately 1 200 000 ha of which 550 000 ha (46%) is heavily degraded, 450 000 ha (37%) is moderately degraded, and only about 200 000 ha (17%) is intact.
The EX-ACT Tool
Study to assess the mitigation potential of agriculture and forestry development projects.
Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA)
The Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programme (UN-FAO) aims to help developing countries transition to climate smart, low carbon emission agriculture.

Role of tropical wetlands for adaptation and mitigation
Tropical wetland ecosystems such as peatlands and mangroves play an important role in mitigating, and adapting to climate change.
Forests and adaptation
Adaptation measures are needed to reduce negative impacts on forests and maintain ecosystem, which also reduce vulnerability of people through providing ecosystem services.
Forests and climate change in Latin America
Forest ecosystems play an important role in both adaptation and mitigation and there is a need to explore the linkages between these two options in order to understand their trade-offs and synergies
