  • Shaping the Debate on Forests and Climate Change in Central Africa
    FOREST DAY SUMMARY REPORT FOREST DAY CENTRAL AFRICA Shaping the Debate on Forests and Climate Change in Central Africa 24 April 2008, Palais des Congrès, Yaounde, Cameroon. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), organized “Forest Day Central Africa” on 24 April 2008 in Yaounde, Cameroon. This event was a follow up of Forest Day Bali, organized by CIFOR in parallel with the 13th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP13-UNFCCC). The theme for Forest Day Central Africa was “Shaping the Debate on Forests and Climate Change in Central Africa ”. The aim was to raise awareness and share knowledge and experiences on Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in Central Africa. This was achieved by bringing together researchers, NGOs, the private sector, forest communities and government officials to engage in dialogue about the issue. The first of its kind in Central Africa, Forest Day was attended by more than 150 people, including scientists, policymakers and representatives from various intergovernmental and non –governmental organizations. Results from a survey show that participants highly appreciated the event: of the 44 survey forms that were filled in, 21 people rated Forest Day as very good, 20 as good. In addition to opening and closing plenaries, the event comprised of four parallel sessions and a Forest Café. The themes of the four parallel sessions were: REDD and other forest management approaches in Central Africa; Methods, difficulties and results of forestry dynamics; the impact of REDD on rural poverty; REDD, markets and governance.

  • Climate Change in the Mount Cameroon National Park Region: Local Perceptions, Natural Resources and Adaptation Strategies, the Republic of Cameroon
    DOCTORAL THESIS CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE MOUNT CAMEROON NATIONAL PARK REGION: LOCAL PERCEPTIONS, NATURAL RESOURCES AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES, THE REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON A thesis approved by the Institute of Geography, University of Augsburg Germany, in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences - Dr.rer.nat. Institute of Geography, University of Augsburg, Germany By Vivian Njole Ntoko Supervised by Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Matthias Schmidt Co-supervisor: Prof. Dr. Karin Thieme Oral examination date June 25th, 2020 ABSTRACT Climate change is influencing indigenous communities in the Global South, and it is the object of a dominant global discourse. It is particularly important to pay attention to its impact on natural resources and people’s livelihoods. Local knowledge on how forest-dependent households and communities, especially those in tropical areas, see, respond and adjust to climate change and events is useful in developing strategies to support livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation and policies. However, local perceptions of climate change remain largely unexplored and are subject to various interpretations. This study analyses the perceptions of indigenous people around the Mount Cameroon National Park (MCNP) on the impacts of climate change on livelihoods and natural resources, and the adaptation strategies to climate change utilised by individuals, groups and communities in this regard. This is achieved through the use of quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection. The quantitative methods entail a questionnaire survey randomly administered to 200 respondents in the study villages. The qualitative methods include participatory rural appraisal (PRA) tools, analysed using MAXQDA software. The research findings indicate that the MCNP region is endowed with fauna and flora species vital to indigenous livelihoods and the national economy, but they have decreased due to climatic and non-climate threats.

The high-level event will be making the case for a new "climate/biodiversity deal": advocating for a fair share of climate/biodiversity funding directed towards the Congo Basin rainforests: Protection and sustainable use of the Congo Basin ecosystems for an adequate share of international funding allocated to the protection of climate and biodiversity. This mean not only for more international funding for the protection of Congo Basin ecosystems for the benefits from reduced carbon emissions but also for the valuation of its biodiversity, Peatlands, marines and forests as natural heritage to the international community. An urgent call to action to save this lung of the planet - Relative to its share of global tropical forest area, the Congo Basin should receive at least 5 % of all climate finance. Assuming that the announced US$100 billion per year for the GCF are available, this would correspond to US$5 billion per year of climate finance for the Congo Basin.

    7 EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES AND PROTECTED AREAS IN CENTRAL AFRICA: FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE? Georges Belmond TCHOUMBA, Paolo TIBALDESCHI, Pablo IZQUIERDO, Annie-Claude NSOM ZAMO, Patrice BIGOMBE LOGO and Charles DOUMENGE With contributions from: Pauwel DE WACHTER, Pierre Brice MAGANGA, Wolf Ekkehard WAITKUWAIT 250 The countries of Central Africa are distinguished by the abundance of both their biodiversity and natural resources, particularly minerals, gas and oil. This dual wealth could offer extraordinary opportunities for development if it is governed wisely and revenues are shared equitably (Maréchal, 2013). The economic growth and emergence plans drawn up by the States rely mainly on the exploitation of mineral resources. While mining and oil industries can be sources of employment (albeit generally modest) and wealth, they also can cause substantial environmental and socioeconomic damage (Carbonnier, 2013; Maréchal, 2013; Noiraud et al., 2017; Chuhan-Pole et al., 2020). However, this damage can be mitigated, and there also are potential opportunities for investments in biodiversity protection. Countries in the subregion grew by an average over which diverse and often antagonistic economic of 5.8% between 2001-2012, compared to 3.0% interests are now competing. between 1990-2000, enabling Central Africa to Protected areas contain not only a wealth of record the second highest growth rate in Africa over biodiversity, but also subsoil that can be important this period (BAD, 2013). This performance gener- reservoirs of mineral resources (minerals, oil, and ated a surge of optimism regarding their economic gas). These resources are coveted by multinational development prospects.
