Page 55 - Governing Congo Basin Forests in a Changing Climate • Olufunso Somorin

General Introduction and Research Setting
designing a national REDD+ strategy on the one hand, and the challenges of
designing a governance structure that integrates the diversity of actors and 1 existing (new) institutions on the other hand.
Chapter 6 addresses the question of potential interactions between adaptation and REDD+ in the Congo Basin, using Cameroon as a case study. Following the findings in the preceding four chapters, the chapter examines the synergies between adaptation and mitigation and the policy frameworks for managing and coordinating the synergies to maximize positive outcomes.
Finally, Chapter 7 presents a detailed synthesis of discussions on major findings on the relationship between adaptation and mitigation within the forest- climate nexus. The chapter concludes on the process of governing policy making systems on adaptation and mitigation in Congo Basin. It also provides a reflection on the theoretical approaches and methodology. It presents a number of recommendations for research and policy.
