Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFrom reference levels to results reporting: REDD+ under the UNFCCC 2017
Also available in:
No results found.For well over a decade, developing countries have been encouraged to undertake activities in their forestry sectors that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also working to conserve, enhance and sustainably manage forest carbon stocks. These activities are known collectively as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), which was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). More recently, these actions were con firmed by the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, which entered into force in 2016, as a core element of a new global climate change regime. Under this regime, governments have agreed on policy approaches and positive incentives for activities that reduce GHG emissions and enhance carbon sinks in the forest sector in developing countries. Countries have been supported in their REDD+ efforts by organizations including United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which has spe cialized in assisting the development of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) capabilities – crucial to the REDD+ process. This flyer provides an update of developments related to the MRV of REDD+ activities, as well as updating activities related to countries’ submissions of Forest Reference (Emission) Levels (FRELs/FRLs). This report will also summarize experiences with the technical assessment process as of early 2017 and offer an overview of initial REDD+ results reporting and tec hnical analyses of those reports. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEmpowering women in fisheries value chains - Good practices from Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal
Coastal Fisheries Initiative - Promoting sustainable fisheries in coastal areas
2023This fact-sheet aims to promote the dynamism of women processors of fishery products in West Africa with regards to organization, processing, commercialization and diversification aspects. It showcases the work carried ou by women in terms of production of dried and salted grouper in Maio pilot site (Cabo Verde), production and commercialization of smoked tuna in FFT stove in Locodjro (Côte d'Ivoire) and production and commercialization of dried shrimps and molluscs in Saloum’s islands, Niodior (Senegal). The purpose is to: i) improve the efficiency of the value chain in fishing communities by sharing forms of organizational structures, good processing, and commercialization practices of fishery products by women; and ii) raise awareness to wider audience of fisheries stakeholders so they know more options for product improvement based on CFI experience. -
Book (stand-alone)Co-management of fisheries and mangroves as a pathway to the ecosystem approach to fisheries
Good practices and lessons learned from the Coastal Fisheries Initiative
2024Also available in:
No results found.The CFI programme - a global partnership between FAO, UNDP, UNEP, Conservation International, the World Bank and the WWF - has developed three legacy Global Knowledge Products (GKPs) to consolidate experience and lessons learned and to make its successful approaches and tangible impacts sustainable beyond the end of its five-year cycle. This e-book is the first of the series. Within its overall objective of demonstrating holistic, ecosystem-based management and improved governance of small-scale coastal fisheries, the CFI has learned that co-management schemes that empower local communities – women as well as men - to act as stewards of their own resources can result in the sustainable use of fragile habitats such as mangrove forests in ways that can guarantee thriving livelihoods and conservation at the same time. This e-book describes the methodologies and results achieved by the CFI in Indonesia, Latin America (Ecuador, Peru) and West Africa (Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal), which can be adapted to local contexts anywhere in the world. It is aimed at national and international policymakers, practitioners and development agencies and is enriched with testimonies from beneficiaries across these geographies.
