Abstract: Climate change can be addressed by mitigation (reducing the sources or enhancing the sinks of greenhouse gases) and adaptation (reducing the impacts of climate change). Mitigation and adaptation present two fundamentally dissimilar approaches whose differences are now well documented. 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. In forests, potential trade-o… Show more

“…This does not mean that a REDD initiative would degrade services other than carbon, but rather that such an initiative could have greater co-benefits for local people and the country if priority areas were selected based on multiple ES values. This selection criterion could also foster synergies between policies for climate change mitigation (such as REDD) and adaptation (Locatelli et al 2011a), as hydrological services can reduce the vulnerability of local populations to climate-related problems, and biodiversity conservation can increase the resilience of ecosystems to climate change.…”

“…mangroves, peatlands, tidal salt marshes, kelp forests and seagrass beds) to contribute to climate change mitigation (CBD, 2010). EbM aims to provide global benefits and long-term effects on climate change (Locatelli et al, 2011). Although the primary example of EbM is the use of forest, another example would be the restoration and sustainable use of coastal and marine ecosystems in order to allow blue carbon to be stocked and not released to the atmosphere (Pendleton et al, 2012;Ammar et al, 2014).…”

“…EbM emerged from these processes as a framework to address the causes of climate change by reducing the sources or enhancing the sinks of greenhouse gases (Staudinger et al, 2012;Locatelli et al, 2011). EbM activities specifically underscore the importance of forest ecosystems (in terms of afforestation, reforestation and avoided deforestation and marine and coastal ecosystems (e.g.…”
