sequestration over existing long-term accumulated carbon stocks;  being detrimental for biodiversity, undermining conservation adaptation; and  eroding other ecosystem services important for human health and well-being . Conversely, well- designed and implemented mitigation efforts have the potential to provide co-benefits in terms of climate change adaptation as well as providing multiple goods and services, including the conservation of biodiversity, clean and abundant water resources, flood mitigation, sustainable livelihoods, food and fibre security and human health and well-being . A key aspect of such 'smart' climate mitigation is the implementation of inclusive and adaptive management pathways . These entail acceptance of the uncertainty inherent in projections of future climate change, especially at the regional or local level, and using decision-making processes that keep open as many options as possible for as long as possible, with periodic re-evaluation to aid in choosing pathways forward, even as systems are being impacted by ongoing climate change .
