Recent studies show that carbon
sequestered by trees on agricultural
land is not well accounted for. If it was,
researchers argue in a new study: “Global
Tree Cover and Biomass Carbon on
Agricultural Land: The contribution
of agroforestry to global and national
carbon budgets,” total carbon estim...

Big win: Trees on agricultural land sink four times more carbon
Many opportunities to improve agricultural resilience to a variable and changing climate depend on access to high-quality local climate records and are constrained by data gaps. Addressing data quality of meteorological station observations. The ENACTS approach builds capacity of a National Mete...

Key messages
◼ About one-third of countries in Latin America express an intent to use agroforestry to meet national climate commitments.
◼ Despite this interest, technical and institutional barriers often prevent agroforestry from being represented and counted in United Nations Framework Conventi...

La adaptación al cambio climático a nivel local es un asunto prioridad, especialmente en regiones vulnerables como el corredor seco de Honduras. El desarrollo humano de los municipios del corredor seco configura unos patrones aglomerados de alto y bajo desarrollo. Los cuales han sido persistentes...
The indicator of climate change adaptation capacities (CCVA) reflects an important weakness in the municipal response by integrating the vector of the variables (education, infrastructure, governance, etc.). This performance shows an unequal regional space in the indicator, finding agglomerations...
