气候变化已成为一个重大的政治问题，并已成为各级和全世界讨论和辩论的主题。拥有世界第二大森林的中非，同样处于森林在应对气候变化中的作用辩论的中心。因此，关于气候变化的讲习班在该地区非常普遍。这项研究由国际林业研究中心开展，旨在了解中非对适应和REDD+有专业兴趣的人如何理解气候变化的关键概念。来自几个中非国家的138名利益攸关方回答了关于关键气候变化概念基本知识的问卷。这些测试的目的是建立一个基线，据此制订能力建设方案。结果表明：(1)尽管REDD+和适应气候变化的研讨会在中非越来越频繁地举行，但该地区的利益相关者仍在努力理解气候变化的关键概念；(2)气候变化问题的发展如此之快，以至于那些被呼吁捍卫中非地区利益和立场的人落后于话语，因此需要持续的能力建设；(3)为了支持中非林业委员会的区域立场和维护国家利益，刚果盆地的决策者需要经常更新信息和知识。
Climate change has become a major political issue and has become the subject of discussion and debate at all levels and throughout the world. Central Africa, which harbours the second largest forest in the world, is equally at the centre of debates on the role of forests in the fight against climate change. Consequently, workshops on climate change are very common in this region. This study was carried out by Center for International Forestry Research and aimed to understand how people with professional interest in adaptation and REDD+ in Central Africa comprehend key concepts of climate change. Questionnaires on basic knowledge of key climate change concepts were answered by 138 stakeholders from several Central African countries. These tests were intended to establish a baseline from which a programme of capacity-building could be developed. The results demonstrated that: (1) although workshops on REDD+ and adaptation to climate change are held with increasingly frequency in Central Africa, stakeholders in the region are still struggling to understand the key concepts of climate change, (2) the issues of climate change are evolving so quickly that those who are called upon to defend the interests and positions of the central Africa region are lagging behind the discourses, hence the need for continuous capacity-building, (3) decision-makers in the Congo Basin need frequently updated information and knowledge to be up to the task of supporting the regional position held by Central African Forestry Commission and to defend national interests.
