Forests and climate change in the Asia-Pacific region
The study on "Forests and Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region" provides assessments on impacts of climate change and adaptation options, highlighting adaptation needs, forest management options and estimations of adaptation costs. It then describes mitigation options from: reducing emissions from deforestation, afforestation and reforestation; conservation of natural forests; reduced emissions from forest degradation; substitution of harvested wood products; and improvements of fuelwood efficiency and supply. It outlines adaptation and mitigation synergies and tradeoffs, climate change policy and strategy options, financing and technology transfer, and regional and international collaboration.
