“…By every standard, Redd+ is a negotiation success. It exemplifies the possibilities for collaboration in the battle against climate change: it's not only feasible, but it can be done well, and all parties engaged will probably benefit in the long run [6]. The CDP-partnership is significant since it is seen as a transient platform for global cooperation during the debates.…”

The previous studies on Paris Agreement almost only analyzed the single field related to it, such as international cooperation and low-carbon economy. Therefore, this study will make an overall consideration of the Paris Agreement. In the sixth year after the implementation of the Paris Agreement, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the Paris Agreement under the circumstance that various scholars and academic circles attach great importance to climate change. In accordance with the chronological and systematic archival research methods, this study clearly sorted out information related to climate change and global governance in the context of the signing of the Paris Agreement by citing empirical literature and analytical theoretical knowledge. This study analyzed the scholars views on climate change, for example, in international cooperation in the field of climate change is compare difficult, the Paris agreement itself, namely, the main goal of target, NDC and some related regulations, the implementation of the Paris agreement triple dilemma, such as the global inventory for further analysis, assess the effectiveness of the Paris Agreement. According to the above analysis, the Paris agreement can only be said to be relatively effective. At the end of the paper, the author also evaluates this research.

“…Tropical and subtropical forests have a major influence on the weather patterns, freshwater resources, biodiversity and food. These forests are considered the major sinks of the carbon yet face climatic changes which have caused reduction in their area at an alarming rate [21]. Deforestation and degradation has significantly affected these forests and the services they provide.…”

Tropical Forests - Ecology, Diversity and Conservation Status

Tropical and subtropical forests have diverse ecological functions but are most disturbed due to climatic changes. Peer-reviewed articles, books and reports were searched and downloaded to analyze the effect of climatic changes on tropical and subtropical forests and highlight the need for conservation efforts to ensure sustainable supply of ecosystem services. These forests store largest share (55%) of global terrestrial carbon pool. But the projected rise in temperature (4oC), CO2 levels (495 ppm) and changes in precipitation regime by 2100 are expected to cause significant changes in ecosystem productivity and nutrient turnover rate making forests more vulnerable to climate change. High temperature with low rainfall reduces tree growth, increases soil carbon fluxes by accelerating rate of nutrient cycling, restricts the range of pollinators and increases pest infestation (Phytophthora cinnamomi) affecting ecosystem health and future food security. Increase in heat waves increase the incidence of wild fires and degrade ecosystem quality. Climate change also reduces the scenic beauty, ecotourism and associated economic and mental health benefits. Proactive measures must be taken to mitigate the likely causes of climate change and efforts should be taken to conserve the existing forest reserves to ensure sustainable supply of the ecosystem services.

“…In the meanwhile, the reduction of forest surfaces through deforestation has a major impact on both environmental and socio-economic factors [41,[43][44][45][46], as well as on inhabited areas, having direct effects on the development of local communities and economies [47]. One of the main risks associated with deforestation faced by developed countries is the intensification of climate change effects [32,[48][49][50][51]. The removal of forest cover has consequences on the changes of the local microclimate [45], through processes such as increased solar exposure of surfaces, higher temperatures (both at ground and air level) and wind intensification [52].…”

Multifunctional landscapes are complex systems that integrate biophysical, cultural-historical and socio-economic components into unique territorial structures and regional ensembles. Facing increasing pressures generated by urbanization, climate change and overexploitation of natural resources, assessing the sustainability of these landscapes has become an urgent priority. The present research is based on the development and parametrization of a new tool for evaluating the sustainability of multifunctional landscapes that aims to measure the level of biocultural resilience of a landscape, integrating biological, cultural and socio-economic indicators in a single analytical framework. This index, called the biocultural resilience index (BRI), provides a holistic perspective on the dynamics of landscapes, allowing the identification of vulnerability areas and the development of conservation and sustainable management strategies. The evaluation of the of multifunctional landscapes sustainability requires a comprehensive approach that has to integrate both biological aspects, such as biodiversity and ecosystem health, as well as identity and cultural aspects, such as cultural value and the relationship of the local communities with the environment. In this context, this study highlights the fact that the development of appropriate tools and methods for assessing and monitoring the sustainability of multifunctional landscapes becomes essential for their sustainable management and for protecting the benefits they offer to society. Our findings show that the biocultural resilience index (BRI) can be used in a variety of contexts and fields, including spatial planning, biodiversity conservation, sustainable rural development and ecotourism. In the meanwhile, this index offers a robust and flexible analytical framework, adaptable to the needs and particularities of different regions and communities.
