1. Launching of a book on “Climate change and African forest and wildlife resources” (30 minutes) This is perhaps the first book that, based on what is known, systematically addresses climate change issues in the context of African forests, trees, and wildlife resources; and therefore brings to the fore the forest and wildlife-climate change debate within and beyond the African continent. This book is therefore timely in that it highlights to all stakeholders, and in a systematic manner, the climate change issues relevant to the African forestry and wildlife sectors, with the view of increasing the understanding of these relationships and facilitating the development of strategies for these sectors to increase their contribution, at various levels and fora, to addressing the vagaries of climate change. The book also outlines the opportunities that climate change brings to the various development sectors of African nations. 2. Presentation of a toolbox on “Guidance for implementing REDD+ with a mechanism of direct incentives” (30 minutes) This toolbox has been developed based on experiences gained through addressing drivers and actors of deforestation and forest degradation in various sites in Madagascar, as well as incentive schemes that were defined together with local actors and implemented in a participatory manner.
