ProjectSupporting the Transition to Sustainable Agriculture through Harmonized Incentives for Ecosystem Services - GCP/GLO/660/MUL 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The project worked towards the achievement of two inter related outcomes, the integration of IES into FAO global and regional work programmes and the promotion of IES in discussions on international policy. Through the delivery of training sessions, organization of events and contribution to publications, the project actively engaged with FAO teams to integrate IES into projects under the FAO Major Area of Work on Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity and other relevant workstreams , such as Sustainable Food and Agriculture and the guidance of work under FAO Strategic Objective 2. Likewise, by contributing to the submissions made by key FAO units, as well as the organization of side events, the project supported the integration of IES into the dialogue of FAO Governing Bodies, particularly within the Committee on Agriculture and during FAO’s preparation for the 13th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity. In addition, to better exemplify the approach and benefits of IES, the “incentives spectrum” was integrated into six FAO publications and an evaluation of IES case studies was conducted to support the development of an online IES toolkit and road map. The project was also responsible for organizing side events at relevant United Nations conventions and international dialogue events, with the broader aim of influencing the debate surrounding agro environmental targets. Additionally, efforts to work directly with national authorities and FAO units in Cambodia, Kenya, Pakistan and Rwanda were undertaken to support the adoption of IES. Finally, events were also organized and FAO projects were formulated to promote private sector investment in IES through the reorganization of public funds into harmonized incentive packages. -
