ProjectFactsheetGreen Climate Fund Project Formulation, Readiness and Start-Up Support: Sustainable Ecosystem-Based Transformation of Natural Resource Management in Kyrgyzstan (SET NRM) - TCP/KYR/3606 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Kyrgyzstan is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change in Central Asia It is affected by drought, land and mudslides while flooding events and river banks erosion are set to increase in frequency and intensity Recurrent extreme weather events and marked changes in microclimate are already being observed with particular magnitude in target areas Forests and pastures are among the most sensitive resources being impacted by climate change and reduced productivity of low altitude pastures and decreased resilience of forest ecosystem are increasing the vulnerability of communities and negatively impacting rural livelihoods Climate change, coupled with unsustainable management of natural resources, threatens both key ecosystems and Kyrgyzstan’s cultural heritage and development opportunities The Government of Kyrgyzstan is developing plans and programmes to tackle climate change however, significant resources are needed to implement them Against this background, the Government requested that FAO provide technical assistance to design and start up a Green Climate Fund ( funded investment project aimed at increasing mitigation, climate resilience and low emission sustainable development as well as preparing a funding proposal for the project, and strengthening stakeholder capacity to implement it. -
ProjectFactsheetImproving Data to Support the Sustainable and Equitable Management of Ecosystems and Natural Resources in the Indian Ocean - GCP/INT/322/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) is an intergovernmental organization established under the FAO Constitution to manage tuna and tuna-like species in the Indian Ocean. Its main aim is the conservation and optimum utilization of fish stocks for long-term sustainability. The IOTC’s management objective of enhancing the scientific component of fisheries management is currently limited due to a paucity of data for some of the major IOTC fisheries. In particular, the level of implementation of the IOTC Regional Observer Scheme (ROS) has been low in many contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties (CPCs). This is due to the lack of capacity of some CPCs to implement the ROS on board their vessels. The aim of this project was to support the IOTC in improving the quality and quantity of data available from scientific observers by improving the capacity of CPCs to implement the ROS. This would lead to better scientific knowledge of the fisheries and ecosystems managed by the Commission, as well as better-informed management of all species impacted by IOTC fisheries. -
ProjectFactsheetConservation and Sustainable Management of Black Soil in Jilin Province - TCP/CPR/3806 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Black soils cover around 1.03 million square metres in Northeast China and produce between 22.5 and 25 million tonnes of commercial grains annually. However, unlimited exploitation and unsustainable farming practices on these fragile soils through intensive tillage, which has led to depriving the land of soil organic carbon (SOC), as well as excessive removal of organic matter and unregulated use of chemical fertilizers over the past few decades have produced significant land degradation, nutrient imbalance and an annual average loss of 0.3-1.0 cm of the black soil layer. Due to its inherent fertility, recovering black soils is essential to ensure food security in China, and maintaining SOC is crucial to enhance black soils resilience against droughts and extreme temperatures caused by climate change. Jilin Province in Northeast China is one of the most affected, given that great part of the area is rich in black soils. Although the government implemented several regulations, the province is facing several technical challenges to increase SOC and return crop residues to the land. In order to address this situation, this project aimed to develop sustainable and appropriate technical guidelines and policy recommendations to improve black soils management in Northeast China, which would contribute to food security and sustainable production systems.
