  • 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.

  • Exemplar Texts for Grades
    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.

  • 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.

    IUCN World Conservation Congress The Congress will drive action on nature-based recovery, climate change and biodiversity post-2020 Marseille, 3 to 11 September 2021 High Level Event LANDSCAPES CENTRAL STAGE – EXHIBITION AREA September 5th, 2021 (2:30pm-3:15pm) High-Level Event on International Engagement for the Protection of the Congo Basin Ecosystems and their vicinity Engagement with High-Level Representatives of climate finance mechanisms: GCF, GEF, AF, CIF on biodiversity and climate finance for the Congo basin and their vicinity High-Level Event on International Engagement for the Protection of the Congo Basin Ecosystems and their vicinity, increasingly the world's most important rainforest lung and an important component of the global biosphere, which continues degrading by deforestation, which is expected to continue despite policies to prevent it. 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.
