description |
The climate change (CC) caused by
increase in atmospheric concentration of CO2 and other
Greenhouse Gases (GHGs), can be addressed through adaptation
and mitigation strategies. Adaptation consists of strategies
which minimize vulnerability to CC. The objective is to
increase resilience of the ecosystems and communities
through adoption of specific sustainable land management
(SLM) techniques that have adaptive benefits. On the other
hand, the goal of mitigation strategies is to enhance soil
and vegetation (land) sinks for absorbing atmospheric CO2
and to minimize net emissions. In the context of the
resource-poor and small landholders of the developing
countries, adaptation to CC is essential. Adaptation
strategies are needed to enhance the positive and reduce the
negative effects of CC. Adaptation is also needed because
complete mitigation of CC may never occur. The strategy is
to adopt those SLM technologies which have both adaptation
and mitigation impacts at multiple scales (household,
community, and watershed, national, global). There are four
major areas in the tropics and sub-tropics where adoption of
SLM technologies can help to both adapt to and mitigate CC:
(i) tropical forest ecosystems (TFEs), (ii) tropical
savannah and rangeland ecosystems (TSREs), (iii) world
cropland soils, and (iv) salinized and degraded/desertified
lands. Nonetheless, adoption of SLM technologies in the
temperate regions (North America, Europe, Australia, Japan)
is also important to adapting to CC. However, this report
focuses on SLM options for developing countries of the
tropics and sub-tropics. |
