Sonwa, D.J.Bele, Y.Somorin, O.A.Jum, C.Nkem, J.[Adaptation for forests and communities in the Congo Basin: the CoFCCA experience]Adaptation for forests and communities in the Congo Basin: the CoFCCA experience

Climate change presents additional challenges to a diverse country like Cameroon that shares the Congo Basin rainforest. Not only is the population vulnerable to the direct effects of climate change, forest-dependent communities are also vulnerable to changing environmental policy that may affect...


Brown, H.C.P.Nkem, J.Sonwa, D.J.Bele, Y.[Institutional adaptive capacity and climate change response in the Congo Basin forests of Cameroon]Institutional adaptive capacity and climate change response in the Congo Basin forests of Cameroon

Tropical forests hold several goods and services used by forest-dependent people as safety nets to traverse difficult periods of resource supply. These same goods and services are constantly surrounded by emerging markets linking remote communities with major urban centers nationally and internat...


Nkem, J.Kalame, F.B.Idinoba, M.Somorin, O.A.Ndoye, O.Awono, A.[Shaping forest safety nets with markets: adaptation to climate change under changing roles of tropical forests in Congo Basin]Shaping forest safety nets with markets: adaptation to climate change under changing roles of tropical forests in Congo Basin

Vulnerability of forest ecosystems in West Africa is likely to be aggravated with current and projected climate and human stresses with implications for adaptation and REDD regimes. This is because vulnerability of the forest ecosystems affects economic sectors and millions of people that depend ...


Idinoba, M.Nkem, J.Kalame, F.B.Tachie-Obeng, E.Gyampoh, B.A.[Dealing with reducing trends in forest ecosystem services through a vulnerability assessment and planned adaptation actions]Dealing with reducing trends in forest ecosystem services through a vulnerability assessment and planned adaptation actions
Sonwa, D.J.Bele, M.Y.Somorin, O.A.Nkem, J.[Central Africa is not only carbon stock: Preliminary efforts to promote adaptation to climate change for forest and communities in Congo Basin.]Central Africa is not only carbon stock: Preliminary efforts to promote adaptation to climate change for forest and communities in Congo Basin.

Many studies have suggested various kinds of forest policies, management planning and practices to help forests adapt to climate change. These recommendations are often generic, based mostly on case studies from temperate countries and rarely from Africa. We argue that policy and management recom...


Kalame, F.B.Nkem, J.Idinoba, M.Kanninen, M.[Matching national forest policies and management practices for climate change adaptation in Burkina Faso and Ghana]Matching national forest policies and management practices for climate change adaptation in Burkina Faso and Ghana

Understanding the vulnerability of forest and forest related sectors to climate change, mainstreaming the use of forest into adaptation strategies are some of the challenges faced by forestry research, developers and stakeholders. Despite the multiple efforts to mitigate climate change, it is wel...


Sonwa, D.J.Nkem, J.Foahom, B.Nkongmeneck, B.A.[Ecological research in the perspective of using forest in adaptation to climate change in Cameroon (Central Africa)]Ecological research in the perspective of using forest in adaptation to climate change in Cameroon (Central Africa)

Tropical forests have a central role to play in a new mechanism designed to mitigate climate change, known as REDD+ (Reduced Emissions From Deforestation and Forest Degradation). Through semistructured interviews and content analysis of relevant documents, the perceptions of the opportunities and...


Brown, H.C.P.Smith, B.Sonwa, D.J.Somorin, O.A.Nkem, J.[Institutional perceptions of opportunities and challenges of REDD+ in the Congo Basin]Institutional perceptions of opportunities and challenges of REDD+ in the Congo Basin

Nowadays, adaptation has become a key focus of the scientific and policy-making communities and is a major area of discussion in the multilateral climate change process. As climate change is projected to hit the poorest the hardest, it is especially important for developing countries to pay part...


Bele, M.Y.Somorin, O.A.Sonwa, D.J.Nkem, J.Locatelli, Bruno[Forests and climate change adaptation policies in Cameroon]Forests and climate change adaptation policies in Cameroon

Antarctic ecosystems are often considered nearly pristine because levels of anthropogenic disturbance are extremely low there. Nevertheless, over recent decades there has been a rapid increase in the number of people, researchers and tourists, visiting Antarctica. We evaluated, over 10 years, the...


Ayres, E.Nkem, J.Wall, D.H.Adams, B.J.Barrett, J.EBroos, E.J.Parson, A.N.Powers, L.E.Simmons, B.L.Virginia, R.A.[Effects of human trampling on populations of soil fauna in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica]Effects of human trampling on populations of soil fauna in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
