Climate Change
2024Also available in:
No results found.There is an extreme urgency to improve global policy and practice and limit the impacts of human-induced climate change. There are multiple ways in which climate change cansqueeze land-based resources, with cases found throughout the Asia and Pacific Region. Climate change will influence the availability of arable land and resulting food security, with irrigation systems affected by changes to glacial melts and other sources. The impact on food production systems may compound poverty levels for vulnerable smallholders and increase land inequality. The role of tenure security is vital here. -

Agricultural productivity and food security
2024Also available in:
No results found.Recent events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in fuel prices, have placed new strains on our global agri-food system. With world hunger increasing, it is projected that 670 million people will be facing malnourishment in 2030, the same proportion of the world’s population (8 percent) as when the 2030 Agenda was introduced in 2015. It has never been so critical to support our production systems to increase food security. Particularly critical is the role of smallholders. While they are crucial in the fight to achieve food security, they are the ones often held back in accessing technologies and credit to improve productivity, while suffering from uncertainty as to whether they will keep hold of their land. -

Forests
2024Also available in:
No results found.Forests in Asia and the Pacific region are a key resource focal point, requiring managed utilisation for timber and non-timber products, and conservation for biodiversity preservation and carbon sequestration. They are also the site for communities who have lived there for generations and are often among the poorest and most marginalised in their respective countries. The livelihoods of these people are dependent upon an income derived from forest resources. Yet forest communities, many of which comprise Indigenous Peoples, live and operate under customary tenure systems that often go unrecognised by state actors.
