This book collects wide-ranging contributions such as case studies reviews reports on
technological developments outputs of research studies and examples of successful projects
presenting current knowledge and raising awareness to help the agriculture and forestry sectors
find solutions for mitigating climate variability and adapting to change. It brings the topic
of ecosystem services closer to education and learning as targeted by the Framework Convention
on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the
EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. Climate change and its impacts on agriculture and
agroforestry have been observed across the world during the last 50 years. Increasing
temperatures droughts biotic stresses and the impacts of extreme events have continuously
decreased agroforestry systems' resilience to the effects of climate change. As such there is
a need to adapt farming and agroforestry systems so as to make them betterable to handle
ever-changing climate conditions and to preserve habitats and ecosystems services.
