FAO - FFEM Database

The database of the regional project “Maximize the production of goods and services of Mediterranean forest ecosystems in the context of global changes” funded by the French Global Environment Facility (FFEM) has been created in the context of the component 1. This component is focused on the production of data and development of tools to support decision and management of vulnerable Mediterranean forest ecosystems affected by climate change and the ability of these forest ecosystems to adapt to global change. This collection of publications includes more than two hundred scientific papers and projects – in their original languages – carried out on Mediterranean forest landscapes and closely related to climate change in order to cover several key themes of the different components with, mainly: 1) vulnerability and adaptation to climate change; 2) evaluation of economic and social value of the Mediterranean ecosystems; 3) governance and participatory processes; 4) optimization of good and services of the Mediterranean forests (including carbon sequestration and storage) and 5) forest management guidelines.
