Terminal evaluation of the project "Contribution of sustainable forest management to a low emission and resilient development in Serbia"
Project code: GCP/SRB/002/GFF - GEF ID: 9089
2024

The main objective of the project was the promotion of multifunctional sustainable forest management (SFM) to conserve biodiversity, enhance and conserve carbon stocks, and secure forest ecosystem services in productive forest landscapes. It was designed around three project components: i) an enabling environment for multifunctional SFM; ii) multifunctional forest management; and iii) monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and the dissemination of lessons learned.The project was highly relevant to international and local policy agenda priorities, as it involved the forestry sector and maximized its role in environmental protection and sustainable development. However, project ownership was concentrated among stakeholders from the state forestry sector. Other important private and non-forestry actors were only involved at minor levels. Important outputs on data collection were: the Integrated Forest Inventory System (IFIS) and the National Forest Inventory (NFI), both important contributions to SFM in Serbia. However, the evaluation found that the legal institutionalization of results in the form of new legislation was not realized during the project’s life cycle.

Enhancing Countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions for Emissions Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation - MTF/GLO/168/WRI 2022

Also available in:

No results found.

Under the Paris Agreement on climate change, all parties are required to define and communicate their “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs), the efforts that they plan to undertake to reduce national greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. To ensure they are sufficiently ambitious, the targets and commitments set out by countries in 2015 need updating every five years. This project represented FAO’s response to specific countries’ requests for support to conduct the first revision of NDCs in 2020. The overarching objective was to improve countries’ strategies and tools to reduce their emissions and improve adaptation in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector, addressing existing gaps in AFOLU components and resulting in more ambitious commitments and strategies.
