The Climate Analysis and Policy Recommendations on Incorporating Climate Change Considerations into Integrated Land Use Management Plans in the Congo Basin report provides an evidence-based assessment of climate risks and practical pathways to integrate climate considerations into Integrated Land Use Management Plans (ILUMPs).
The "Model Documentation of the Hydrological Decision Support System" provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific approach and modeling tools underpinning UNEP's initiative to safeguard the Congo Basin peatlands—one of the world's most critical carbon stores and biodiversity hotspots. This technical report details the development and application of a conceptual hydrological model that evaluates the impacts of land use changes, infrastructure development, and climate variability on peatland hydrology and soil carbon dynamics.
The "Report on Development and Climate Change Scenarios for the Congo Basin Peatlands" provides a comprehensive analysis of how land use changes and climate variability may impact this vital ecosystem. Developed by UNEP, the report presents a hydrological and carbon modeling framework called the Hydrological Decision Support System (HDSS), designed to guide sustainable peatland management.
UNEP’s Congo Basin Sustainable Landscapes Programme (CBSL) is leading the GEF-7 Congo Basin Impact Programme and the upcoming GEF-8 Congo Critical Forest Biomes Integrated Programme (CFB IP) in six central Africa countries.
The Congo Basin Sustainable Landscapes Impact Program (Congo IP) comprises one regional and six national projects. The Program aims to catalyse transformational change in conservation and sustainable management of key landscapes in the Congo Basin through landscape approaches that empower local communities and forest-dependent people, and through partnerships with the private sector.
