dc.description Chapter published in Climate risk and vulnerability: a handbook for Southern Africa en_US
dc.description.abstract Forests in southern Africa are critically important for sustainable livelihoods and ecosystems but are vulnerable to changes in climate, most important being accumulated temperature and moisture deficit, as well as to other external stressors, such as deforestation, with which climate may interact. Forest resources in the SADC14 region are extensive and diverse. The total forest cover is estimated at 400 million hectares (ha) 15 in area, or more than 40 percent of the total land area of the 15 SADC member states. Forest cover is concentrated in a few countries in the SADC region. The Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Zambia and Mozambique have the largest forest areas and account for close to three-quarters of the total forest area in the SADC region. Those four countries are among the five most forested countries in Africa; together with Sudan, they contain more than 55 percent of the continent’s forest estate. en_US
