Climate change is now known to be a key threat to achieving sustainable development and poverty reduction targets, as well as attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in Africa. Climate change is altering rainfall patterns, water availability, and sea levels; it is increasing droughts and the frequency of bushfires, and increasingly impacting on human health, agricultural productivity, forests and biodiversity. In this way, climate change will negatively affect the social, economic and environmental dimensions of human livelihoods in Africa.

The study looks at  (i) Main Substantive Elements and Commitments and (ii) Reporting, Review and Compliance. The IPCC recognizes Land-Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) hence its significant role in the NDCs . The study also highlights the challenges, opportunities and strategies for improving the implementation of nationally determined conditions in the Eastern and Southern Africa regions.

This chapter discusses how forest ecosystem services (FES) can contribute toward food security in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 2, which seeks to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.
