ProjectFactsheetDeveloping an Innovative Peatlands Monitoring System - UNJP/GLO/927/OPS 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Peatlands cover only 3 percent of global land area but store nearly 30 percent of the world’s soil carbon, and may contain twice as much carbon as the world’s forests. Peat related emissions are significant and are estimated to cause approximately 10 percent of total anthropogenic emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors, and at least 5 percent of global emissions. In addition to climate mitigation, they play a significant role in providing other ecosystem services that support the adaptive capacity of ecosystems and communities. Against this background, the project aimed to address the critical need for improved peatland monitoring systems. The first phase of the project focused on the global development of monitoring tools, approaches and guidance for peatlands monitoring, as well as a robust tool for estimating peatland emissions and removals from degradation and restoration. The focus moved to Indonesia in the second phase, which has 40 percent of all known tropical peatlands, to pilot test the methods and work towards an operational peatland monitoring system in the country, which would have application and utility in many countries containing peat. -
ProjectFactsheetSupporting Local Populations through a Project to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Forests in Congo - UNJP/PRC/019/UNJ 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Since 2008, Congo has been committed to the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries (REDD+) process, with a view to tackling climate change, protecting its forest ecosystems, combatting poverty and laying the foundations for a green economy and sustainable development in the country. Congo’s proactive attempts to secure financing for its national REDD+ Investment Plan led it to request the technical assistance of FAO in developing a project proposal for the Green Climate Fund, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from forests in five departments of the country. Through a range of outputs and activities, including analysis of local agriculture and forestry models, consultative processes involving local women’s and indigenous groups and economic and financial analysis, the full project proposal package was enhanced, finalized and ultimately submitted to the Green Climate Fund in January 2020. -
ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Capacities of Farmers and Rural Population on Greenhouse – Phase II of TCP/TAJ/3603 (TCP/TAJ/3603 and TCP/TAJ/3801) 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This project was designed to harness the potential of agriculture in Tajikistan to create jobs, generate income and reduce undernourishment in rural areas through the establishment of greenhouses for vegetable cultivation in seven districts Greenhouses provide a protected environment for the growth of vegetables and the production of seedlings, which can then be sold or consumed by project beneficiaries, boosting their incomes and strengthening food and nutrition security in the targeted areas The project design included capacity development interventions, the construction of locally adapted small scale greenhouses, and the creation of a national strategy for the sustainable production of greenhouse vegetables The project was implemented in two phases after delays during the first phase caused the need for a second.
