Linking Adaptation and Mitigation
This report focuses on the linkages between mitigation and adaptation in community forestry contexts. In keeping with the IPCC, we argue that neither mitigation nor adaptation measures alone are sufficient to respond to climate change impacts and that greater attention to the inter-relationships, synergies, and trade-offs between them are required (IPCC, 2007). The five case studies give insights into how and why adaptation considerations must be integrated within forest-based mitigation efforts such as REDD+.
