Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO Conceptual Framework for integrated land and water resources management recommends an integrated approach to land, soil and water resources management.The Programme Committee discussed this Conceptual Framework at its 137th Session, and the FAO Council further endorsed the integrated approach at its 174th Session.The Conceptual Framework supports the 2030 Agenda by encouraging the transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life for all, leaving no one behind. It provides a roadmap including programmatic actions which contribute to the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-31 and the FAO strategies on climate change, science and innovation, and biodiversity. In addition, the Conceptual Framework contributes to the implementation of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030, the UN Decade on Nutrition, the UN Decade of Family Farming and the International Decade for Action “Water for Sustainable Development”.

    The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in relation to agricultural, land, soil and water systems require a comprehensive understanding of the linkages, interdependencies and role of the systems. This report presents the Driving force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response Framework (DPSIR), which was developed to describe the connections between the environment, socioeconomics and sustainable agricultural production systems. The report highlights the need for a comprehensive assessment of interventions and responses (technical, institutional and policy) for sustainably managing land and water resources and combating land degradation.

    The Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) share ecologically important river and wetland systems, extensive grasslands, semi-deserts, and high mountain ranges which support some of the most unique species and habitats on earth. These ecosystems also provide essential services to people, including water, food and livelihoods, and are critical for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    One hundred scientists, economists and policy experts participated in a three-day expert meeting (EM) to engage in a high-level, globally oriented, and multidisciplinary scoping of topics that climate change to land use and food security. The EM was structured around five themes: climate impacts and human-directed drivers of land change and linkages to food security; mitigation and adaptation options; and policies for resource management, smallholder resilience, mitigation and food and nutrition security. The present report offers a comprehensive synthesis of the EM findings and conclusions reflecting the collective view participants and external reviewers. The report is a valuable source for the IPCC above-mentioned Special Report, especially in relation to food security, as well to researchers and policy makers concerned with the policy implication of food security in relation to post-Paris climate action and Agenda 2030.
