This publication summarizes the work that Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is undertaking, with its partners, to assist countries to mitigate and adapt to climate change as it relates to forests, trees and the people who depend on them. It is organized in four of the five main areas of FAO’s integrated approach to Sustainable Forest Management: Monitoring and Assessment; Management Planning and Practices; Policy and Governance; Forest Products, Services and Industry. The fifth main area of work, Intersectoral Cooperation and Coordination, cuts across the other four areas.
