Advancing Forest and Landscape Restoration in Asia
2022Also available in:
No results found.There is an accelerating global momentum in forest and landscape restoration (FLR), as part of achieving the SDGs, GFGs, Bonn Challenge and the UN’s Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. A regional strategy and action plan for FLR (hereafter the strategy) with six strategic priorities below has been developed and endorsed by the FAO member countries. 1. Support the development and implementation of national FLR plans and targets 2. Promote regional dialogue, learning, collaboration and coordinated action on FLR 3. Build recognition for and support the use of various technical, social and institutional approaches as appropriate for different landscapes and restoration objectives 4. Facilitate and support the mobilisation of financing for FLR 5. Encourage private sector participation and investment in FLR 6. Support community-level action on FLR Advancing these priorities necessitates working together closely and building on the opportunities for regional dialogues and learning from each other. The need for enhancing collaboration and coordination for gaining synergies with FLR activities of different partners is increasing. FAO RAP and partners are therefore shaping a FLR Portfolio and Programme and a consortium for effective FLR implementation, as outlined in the strategy. This builds on a regional Technical Cooperation Programme Project (TCP) covering seven countries: Bangladesh, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, PNG, and Timor-Leste (TCP/RAS/3803) that aims at four outputs: (i) Capacity building programmes on restoration implemented; (ii) National restoration action plans developed; (iii) Regional cooperation, platforms and partnerships improved; and (iv) A regional consortium for scaling-up restoration through a regional programme. FLR Days constitutes part of a series of events to harness the opportunities to address key barriers in advancing the regional strategy and catalyze a massive regional FLR movement for sustainable landscapes and livelihoods. -

A Regional Programmatic Framework for Forest and Landscape Restoration
2024Also available in:
No results found.RESULT ASIA aims to realize a consolidated regional restoration target of at least 100 million hectares of degraded forests, forestland, agriculture, urban and other lands across Asia by 2030. The Framework was designed in line with the Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan on Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.Asia and the Pacific is home to 4.3 billion people and is undergoing rapid economic growth with rising demand for food and natural resources. However, an estimated 647+ million hectares (~23%) of the land and resource base is degraded. Degraded landscapes provide diminished goods and ecosystem services, food security, livelihood opportunities, and climate change resilience. In 2017, the Asia Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) endorsed an Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan for FLR (RSAP). Many of the countries have significant restoration targets and ongoing efforts. However, the efforts are far below the scale required to transform the region’s degraded landscapes and meet national and global aspirations related to sustainable development, food security, health, biodiversity and climate change. This Regional Programmatic Framework for FLR seeks to advance the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-30 in Asia in line with the strategic priorities of the RSAP. It aims for scaled-up high-quality FLR on the ground through a common overarching vision, innovative partnerships and financing, contextbased multi-disciplinary approaches, and a joint monitoring protocol. -
Book (series)Evaluation of the project "Action Against Desertification in support of the implementation of the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative, the United Nations to Combat Desertification and Drought action plans in Fiji and Haiti, and South–South cooperation in the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States"

No results found.The “Action Against Desertification in support of the implementation of the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative, the UNCCD action plans in Fiji and Haiti, and South–South Cooperation in the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States” project (AAD) worked with eight countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia to tackle the detrimental social, economic and environmental impacts of land degradation and desertification (2014 to 2020). It was implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and partners, with majority of funding from the European Union and co-funding from diverse partners. The project contributed to improving the conditions and productivity of agrosilvipastoral landscapes and the capacity to plan land restoration and manage forest and land resources. Livelihood improvements and concrete positive incidence on household income, food security, crops and milk production, and community interactions. It increased awareness and support policy makers developing intervention strategies that address D/LDD. The large-scale, heavy machinery-based technical intervention logic was found appropriate to address desertification/land degradation and drought (D/LDD) in specific conditions and countries. The geospatial study estimated the contribution of Action Against Desertification (AAD) to carbon sequestration to be between 384 000 and 1.27 million tonnes of carbon sequestered. The evaluation recommendations include further investments in training; building awareness and addressing climate change and land degradation; increasing political and policy coherence; guaranteeing sustainability and buy-in from beneficiaries; building in sustainable financing mechanisms at all stakeholder levels; increasing opportunities; and developing non-timber forest product (NTFP) value chains to create and develop viable markets for the products.
