    A holistic, integrated approach is needed to tackle the systemic constraints on sustainable agriculture and food systems and value chain development. The Accelerator for Agriculture and Agro-industry Development and Innovation (3ADI+) is a global programme spearheaded by FAO and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) that seeks to generate decent employment, particularly for rural youth and women, and produce higher-value, safer and nutritious food, while combating the effects of climate change in on- and off-farm activities. A key input for generating value for smallholders is through sustainable mechanization, especially in Africa. By taking a partnership approach and drawing on private investment to ensure sustainability and scalability, the initiative aims build sustainable value chains to meet modern needs.

    Innovative Approaches to High Integrity National Forest Monitoring Systems Enabling Access to Climate Finance - GCP/GLO/1035/UK-F 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Countries around the world, including Kenya, are improving their national forest monitoring systems (NFMS) in response to the growing global demand for high integrity carbon credits. This demand is demonstrated by initiatives like the Lowering Emissions by Accelerating Forest finance (LEAF) Coalition, which commits to purchasing emission reductions. In order to sell carbon credits to LEAF, countries need to have reliable forest data that meets new carbon standards. The availability of this data is crucial for accessing carbon finance, which in turn supports efforts to address climate change and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in line with the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+) approach. In response to this, the IMPRESS project aimed to create a globally applicable method for forest monitoring. Focusing initially on Kenya as a pilot case, its aim was to establish robust forest monitoring systems, enabling participation in Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard (TREES) and LEAF.
