Combating Climate Change in Developing Countries

Climate change is and will continue to affect the lives of millions of people in developing countries, Africa in particular. Having more that 80%of its population relying on subsistence Agriculture, and more than 90% depending on natural resources for energy, these developing countries need to take a serious measure regardless of their amount of emission. In my opinion, African countries have not taken the fact of climate change to its seriousness. Most of the running  climate change initiatives are of International Organisations.

If the world is to combat climate change, developing countries have to participate to its fullness equal share.

Planet Earth's Forests by 2050. What choices does today World have?

The amount of wood we take from forests and plantations each year may need to triple by 2050. This growing market for wood can motivate good stewardship that safeguards forests – or destroy the very places where wood grows.
WWF report have suggested several approaches through which the world demand for Forest products especially wood can be met. they are not impossible approaches but needs commitment and devotion of all people, governments and international organizations. 
Some of the suggested approaches are;  
1. Expanding production in well-managed natural forests - another 242-304 million hectares of natural forest would need to be managed for commercial harvesting by 
2. Forest certification- Forest certification provides assurance that the wood in a product comes from a well-managed forest.
3.Reuse and recycling- Nearly all types of solid wood can be reused. Paper, for example, can be recycled and reused many times, taking the pressure of forests
4.Fairer distribution- Today, 10 per cent of the world’s population consumes over 50 per cent of the paper.Reducing wasteful consumption in developed countries, like overprinting or overpackaging, would ease the pressure on forests and land use as paper use grows in developing countries
