International Conference: Climate Change, Deforestation and the Future of African Rainforests

  • January, 2012

The University of Oxford (UK) hosted the 3 day international conference: Climate Change, Deforestation and the Future of African Rainforests. The aim of the meeting was to synthesise a scientific and authoritative summary of scientific insights into the future of African tropical forests, to then be disseminated to a wider audience as an evidence base to inform decision-making.

One of the major outcomes of the meeting is to create a special issue of high impact scientific journal with a collection of the studies presented at the meeting.
