Beyond carbon storage: the Congo Basin forest as rainmaker

By Denis J. Sonwa Scientist, Center for International Forestry Research Responses to climate change are grouped into two main categories: mitigation (reducing greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change) and adaptation (adjusting livelihoods and life styles due to the i nfluences of climate change). Amongst adaptation strategies, ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA) is an approach that promotes...
