How forests enhance resilience to climate change: What we know and case studies from Burkina Faso, Honduras and Lao PDR

Many studies have examined the role of forests as stores of carbon, but relatively few studies have looked at the role of forests in adaptation to climate change. The low profile of forests in the adaptation discussion is surprising, given that the role of forests in generating ecosystem services is widely accepted and there is growing recognition of the potential of land management and control of land use changes to contribute to climate change mitigation.
