No results found.Despite baseline efforts, 60% of Indo-Malaya's original vegetation has been lost until 2020, and the remaining primary forests are under significant pressure. The Indo-Malaya Critical Forest Biome Integrated Program (I-M CFB IP) - Regional Coordination and Technical Support Project (RCP)F provides the programmatic approach framework for maximizing transformational impact by three country projects in Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR), Papua New Guinea, and Thailand to jointly achieve the IP objective: to contribute to maintaining the integrity of globally important primary forests of Indo-Malaya for maximizing multiple global environment benefits related to carbon and biodiversity. -

Supporting effective on-the-ground conservation and human wellbeing
2023Also available in:
No results found.This critical forest biome region includes 32.3 million hectares of intact forest landscapes from what were once much larger, continuous expanses of tropical forest. Spectacular endemic wildlife include the Tiger, Orangutan, Saola, Cat Ba langur, Giant ibis, Mekong giant catfish, Spoonbilled sandpiper. These forests also provide essential wintering grounds for numerous migratory birds. They store enormous amount of carbon with positive effects on climate stability that go beyond their carbon sequestration potential, providing water and other essential services to more than 50 million people. Many of these areas are managed by indigenous and local communities. Indo-Malayan forests are also among the world’s most threatened – more than 17 million ha of primary forest have been lost in the past 20 years alone, largely due to agricultural expansion, mining, illegal logging, and infrastructure projects. To help conserve and protect these remaining forests for present and future generations, the GEF-8 cycle of funding includes a dedicated Indo-Malaya Critical Forest Biome Integrated Program that provides incentives and resources for Indo-Malaya countries to program a portion of their GEF STAR allocation towards conservation of these forests.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
