Policy briefScience, practice, and policy expert dialogue on food systems and resilience: Key priorities for aligning global ecosystem restoration, biodiversity, climate resilience and sustainable food policies with local level action 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The policy brief is a reflection upon key take home messages from the constellation of thinking and events in 2021 through a lens of science, practice, and policy with concrete examples from countries participating the Resilient Food Systems Programme. These include; the UN Food Systems Summit; updated evidence and deeper commitments to addressing climate change through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC Climate Change 2021) and the 26th Conference of Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change; and opportunities to intensify efforts on biodiversity and restoring land health included in the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UN CBD). -
Book (stand-alone)FAO/IPCC Expert meeting on land use, climate change and food security 2017
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
ProjectTackling Land Degradation and Enhancing Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in Lesotho - GCP/LES/052/GER 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Lesotho has experienced a cycle of environmental degradation, poverty and climate change over the past 50 years. Population growth, poverty and food insecurity have forced people into previously uninhabited areas like wetlands and mountain slopes. As a result, the country has suffered severe land degradation that threatens traditional herding culture and livelihoods. The significant reduction in arable land increases food insecurity, reduces livelihood opportunities and fuels communal conflict. At the same time wetland degradation reduces water supply across the basin area. In addition, uncontrolled land degradation increasingly threatens essential infrastructure such as dams, roads and buildings. Climate change presents an aggravating factor. This project was designed within the overall framework of the Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) programme implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), which seeks to ensure that ICM facilitates socioeconomic development and adaptation to climate change in Lesotho. FAO aimed to support the whole programme by establishing baseline data on key indicators under ICM in Lesotho, and laying the foundation for the development of a robust ICM monitoring system.
