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+.
