Gender and Climate Change: evidence and experience
A set of briefs on gender and climate change that highlights how CIFOR and partner organizations are addressing current and emerging policy issues, with insights and recommendations based on experience. Also available as separate briefs: Intro Gender and climate change: Evidence and experience by Markus Ihalainen and Bimbika Sijapati Basnett (CIFOR) Brief no. 1 Seeds of adaptation : Climate change, crop diversification and the role of women farmers by Ronnie Vernooy (Bioversity International) Brief no. 2 Changing the climate : Why gender matters to achieving equitable sustainable development by Nicola Ward (CARE International) Brief no. 3 Climate change, policy change : Five policy lessons t...
Adaptation in the Anthropocene
Key messagesEcosystems provide people with services that enable adaptation to climate change, which we refer to here as 'adaptation services'.But adaptation services do not flow automatically: some input from people is needed.We identified five types of mechanisms that support the production of adaptation services.These mechanisms are related to: (i) multifunctional and traditional ecosystem management, (ii) proactive management of transformed ecosystems, (iii) use of novel adaptation services, (iv) collective ecosystem management, and (v) appreciating, using and valuing adaptation services.Understanding these mechanisms can lead to an improved flow of adaptation services and more options for livelihoods and well-being under climate change.This InfoBrief summarizes the findings of a paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Series B (Lavorel et al. 2020).
Visualizing Climate Change
Carbon dioxide and global climate change are largely invisible, and the prevailing imagery of climate change is often remote (such as ice floes melting) or abstract and scientific (charts and global temperature maps). Using dramatic visual imagery such as 3D and 4D visualizations of future landscapes, community mapping, and iconic photographs, this book demonstrates new ways to make carbon and climate change visible where we care the most, in our own backyards and local communities. Extensive color imagery explains how climate change works where we live, and reveals how we often conceal, misinterpret, or overlook the evidence of climate change impacts and our carbon usage that causes them. This guide to using visual media in communicating climate change vividly brings to life both the science and the practical solutions for climate change, such as local renewable energy and flood protection. It introduces powerful new visual tools (from outdoor signs to video-games) for communities, action groups, planners, and other experts to use in engaging the public, building awareness and accelerating action on the world’s greatest crisis.
Policy progress with REDD+ and the promise of performance-based payments: A qualitative comparative analysis of 13 countries
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and enhancing forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) has emerged as a promising climate change mitigation mechanism in tropical forest countries. This paper examines the national political context in 13 REDD+ countries in order to identify the enabling conditions for achieving progress in the implementation of countries REDD+ policies and measures. The analysis builds on a previous qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of various countries progress with REDD+, conducted in 12 REDD+ countries in 2012. A follow-up survey in 2014 was considered timely because the REDD+ policy arena, at international and country lev...
Creating Resilient Landscapes in an Era of Climate Change
This book delivers a realistic and feasible framework for creating resilient landscapes in an era of anthropogenic climate change. From across six continents, this book presents fifteen case studies of differing sociocultural, economic, and biophysical backgrounds that showcase opportunities and limitations for creating resilient landscapes throughout the world. The potential to create socio-ecological resilience is examined across a wide range of landscapes, including agricultural, island, forest, coastal, and urban landscapes, across sixteen countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Samoa, South Africa, the United States, Turkey, U...
Handbook of Research on AI-Equipped IoT Applications in High-Tech Agriculture
The agriculture industry is facing significant challenges in meeting the increasing demand for food while also ensuring sustainable development. Traditional agricultural methods are not equipped to meet the demands of the modern world. To overcome these challenges, Advanced Technologies and AI-Equipped IoT Applications in High-Tech Agriculture provides an in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges for AI-powered management tools and IoT-equipped techniques for the high-tech agricultural ecosystem. The Handbook of Research on AI-Equipped IoT Applications in High-Tech Agriculture explores advanced methodologies, models, techniques, technologies, and applications along with the conce...
Managing Climate Change Adaptation in the Pacific Region
This book presents papers written by scholars, practitioners, and members of social movements and government agencies pursuing research and/or climate change projects in the Pacific region. Climate change is impacting the Pacific in various ways, including numerous negative effects on the natural environment and biodiversity. As such, a better understanding of how climate change affects Pacific communities is required, in order to identify processes, methods, and tools that can help countries and the communities in the region to adapt and become more resilient. Further, the book showcases successful examples of how to cope with the social, economic, and political problems posed by climate change in the region.
