A landscapes approach is ideal when it comes to integrating measures of both climate change adaptation and mitigation. This is one of the key take-aways from a video discussion between two Scientists at the Center for International Forestry Research:
In the ,, minute conversation they talk about the opportunities of integrating landscape approaches into climate change mitigation and adaptation programs. They also take a look at climate smart agriculture in relation to REDD+.
Sunderland and Fedele also discuss the interaction between forests and sustainable agriculture, as forests do not only play an important role as an ecosystem service provider but also as a provider of non-timber products.
Landscape approaches and climate change will also play an important role at the 2014 Global Landscapes Forum for example at the sessions:
Minding the research-practitioner gap: The implementation of integrated landscape approaches
New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security
