The articles, which are all place-based case studies across nine African countries, cover three not necessarily mutually exclusive thematic areas, namely: smallholder farming livelihoods under new climate risk (five articles); long-term dynamics of livelihoods and landscape change and future trajectories (two articles); and natural resource management and governance under a changing climate, spanning forests, woodlands, and rangelands (four articles). The commonalities, key messages, and research gaps across the 11 articles are presented in a synthesis article. All the case studies pointed to the need for an integrated and in-depth understanding of the multiple drivers of landscape and livelihood change and how these interact with local histories, knowledge systems, cultures, complexities, and lived realities. Moreover, where there are interventions (such as new governance systems, REDD+ or climate smart agriculture), it is critical to interrogate what is required to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of emerging benefits. 517 $aLivelihood and Landscape Change in Africa 610 $aadaptation 610 $aagroforestry 610 $ainstitution 610 $aprecipitation 610 $aassets 610 $alandscape change 610 $aEx-ACT 610 $afirewood 610 $aagrarian dynamics 610 $aboundaries 610 $aLongitudinal studies 610 $atrends 610 $aclimate change 610 $aagent-based-model 610 $amitigation 610 $asocial-ecological systems 610 $acommercial agriculture 610 $adependency 610 $aTanzania 610 $aAfrica 610 $aGhana 610 $avulnerability 610 $asustainable livelihoods 610 $acocoa 610 $agovernance systems 610 $aconservation 610 $alivelihoods 610 $aSouth Africa 610 $afarm dwellers 610 $apastoralists 610 $aREDD+ 610 $aclimate smart agriculture 610 $adrivers 610 $aclimate-smart agriculture 610 $anatural resources 610 $agrazing 610 $apastoral mobility 610 $apoverty alleviation 610 $aSamburu pastoralists 610 $aadoption 610 $aresilience 610 $atraditional authorities 610 $amarket-based conservation 610 $aprecariat 610 $aagency 610 $asavannahs 610 $arural entrepreneurs 610 $acarbon balance 610 $asmall-scale irrigation farming 610 $aKenya 610 $areligion 610 $ahousehold income 610 $acommunal grazing regulations 610 $aperceptions 610 $aSouthern Africa 610 $aculture 610 $aChinyanja Triangle 610 $aneoliberal conservation 700 $aSperanza$b Chinwe Ifejika$4auth$01287694 702 $aTengo?$b Maria$4auth 702 $aSpear$b Dian$4auth 702 $aShackleton$b Sheona$4auth 702 $aHebinck$b Paul$4auth 702 $aMasterson$b Vanessa$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367754103321 996 $aLivelihood and Landscape Change in Africa: Future Trajectories for Improved Well-Being under a Changing Climate$93020306 997 $aUNINA
