CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Rapid Carbon Stock Appraisal (RaCSA)

“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level” (IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, 2007). About 20% of the emissions of carbondioxide (CO ) and other greenhouse gasses that cause this global climate change are due to land use change in the tropics. While most policies have so far focused on the fossil fuel use that causes the bulk of the CO emissions, the land use change component can no longer be ignored. Global mechanisms for providing economic incentives for maintaining and restoring C-stocks are taking shape. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) regulates the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) that includes, under specific rules, afforestation and reforestation activities. Currently under discussion is a similar approach to reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation in developing countries (REDD). Voluntary market mechanisms, not part of the commitments to emission reduction that UNFCCC countries have pledged, target various combinations of landscape level restoration and protection of tree cover and carbon stocks
