No results found.Climate change is severely affecting mountain ecosystems, impacting people’s lives in high-altitude mountain regions (highstream) as well as in cities and environments (downstream populations) dependent on mountain goods and services.Effective adaptation strategies are required in response to climate change impacts in mountain regions. In order to better integrate scientific evidence and mountain people’s experience into international discussions, experts from Azerbaijan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Tajikistan met at the Ismaili Centre in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, from 9 to 11 November 2011.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookCROPS, BROWSE AND POLLINATORS IN AFRICA - An Initial Stock-taking 2007
Also available in:
No results found.When the Fifth Conference of the Parties to the Convention Biological Diversity established an International Initiative for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Pollinators (also known as the International Pollinators Initiative-IPI) in 2000 (COP decision V/5, section II), FAO was requested to facilitate and co-ordinate the Initiative in close co-operation with other relevant organisations. A Plan of Action for the IPI was adopted at COP 6 (decision VI/5), providing an overall structu re to the initiative, with four elements of assessment, adaptive management, capacity building and mainstreaming. FAO, through the FAO/Netherlands Partnership Programme, supported the initial establishment of a regional African Pollinator Initiative, the development and publication of its Plan of Action in 2003, and an initial stocktaking of pollinator-dependent crops and browse plants in Africa. The stocktaking document has only been available in electronic form; support from the Gove rnment of Norway has permitted its publication in 2007.
