ProjectProgramme / project reportUpscaling Forest and Landscape Restoration to Achieve Nationally Determined Contributions Under the Paris Agreement - GCP/INT/296/GER 2025
Also available in:
No results found.As recognized in the Paris Agreement, forest-based options are key to achieving countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) through joint mitigation and adaptation approaches (REDD+) providing both carbon and non-carbon-benefits. The effective implementation of the Bonn Challenge, through several existing Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) regional initiatives, represents an opportunity to scale up restoration impacts, thus contributing to achieving NDCs. In this context, this project worked across three regions with diverse landscapes and high potential for increasing both forest carbon stocks and the provision of non-carbon benefits through large scale FLR programmes. It sought to enhance national and regional capacities and the political will to successfully plan, implement and monitor large-scale programmes mainstreaming FLR as a key option to achieve countries’ NDCs in the context of the Paris Agreement. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFAO’s work on Climate Change. Fisheries, Aquaculture and Climate Change: The role of fisheries and aquaculture in the implementation of the Paris agreement 2016Billions of people around the world depend on fisheries and aquaculture for food, essential nutrients and livelihoods. The sector is already under stress from pollution, habitat degradation, overfishing and harmful practices; climate variability, climate change and ocean acidification represent additional threats to the sector and dependent communities. FAO and its partners are working together to reduce vulnerabilities of those most dependent on fisheries and aquaculture for their existence by designing and implementing suitable adaptation and mitigation measures. FAO and its partners are working at finding solutions to meet an ever-growing demand for fish in an era of limited natural resources, build resilience and unlock the Blue Growth potential of the aquatic systems.
