Synopsis (short abstract) Kyrgyzstan is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change in Central Asia It is affected by drought, land and mudslides while flooding events and river banks erosion are set to increase in frequency and intensity Recurrent extreme weather events and marked changes in microclimate are already being observed with particular magnitude in target areas Forests and pastures are among the most sensitive resources being impacted by climate change and reduced productivity of low altitude pastures and decreased resilience of forest ecosystem are increasing the vulnerability of communities and negatively impacting rural livelihoods Climate change, coupled with unsustainable management of natural resources, threatens both key ecosystems and Kyrgyzstan’s cultural heritage and development opportunities The Government of Kyrgyzstan is developing plans and programmes to tackle climate change however, significant resources are needed to implement them Against this background, the Government requested that FAO provide technical assistance to design and start up a Green Climate Fund ( funded investment project aimed at increasing mitigation, climate resilience and low emission sustainable development as well as preparing a funding proposal for the project, and strengthening stakeholder capacity to implement it.

    Strengthening Capacity Building for the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources, Climate Change Adaptation and Risk Management - TCP/RLA/3606 2020

    The risk of disasters in agriculture is increasing as a resultof the growing exposure of people, their livelihoodsand assets, to extreme natural events and climate change.The unsustainable management of natural resourcesreduces the resilience of food systems even further,creating new risks and directly affecting food security.Countries have requested the support of FAO for disasterrisk reduction and to help combat climate change,understanding that the sustainable management ofresources for agriculture and food security is aprerequisite to guaranteeing the resilience of the sector.The objectives of this project were to establishinstitutional arrangements and mechanisms to fostercooperation between countries on these issues, andenhance capabilities for good practice implementation,geared towards bringing about change based on asustainable template for farming production anddevelopment, as an essential requirement toguaranteeing food security for future generations.In addition, the need to reinforce dialogue on, and actionin, regional and subregional areas was proposed to helppromote coordinated initiatives among different countriesthrough specific tools, such as policy, programme andsystem development. This allowed the project to furthertap into existing funding, including for the monitoringand early warning mechanisms for droughts, animalpest and disease control, disaster risk managementand climate change mitigation, for the sustainablemanagement of resources, especially water.

    Integrated landscape management to reduce, reverse and avoid further degradation and support the sustainable use of natural resources in the Mopane-Miombo belt of Northern Namibia 2023

    Namibia’s unique Miombo-Mopane Woodland Ecoregion in the Okavango and Kunene basins is of capital importance for the country’s development, especially in the regions of Kavango East and Omusati where these dry forests prevail. At least 600,000 people live in the rural parts of Kavango East, Omusati and Oshikoto provinces that are dominated by Baikiaea, Miombo and Mopane forest. Rural communities rely on naturally resilient ecosystems for food, nutrition, shelter, medicine, fiber and the availability of water – highly valued and vital ecosystem services. These woodlands are threatened throughout their entire distribution, within a sub-region of Southern Africa that includes Namibia. Deforestation, uncontrolled wildfires and unsustainable use of natural resources are increasingly fragmenting and destroying Miombo-Mopane woodlands across the Kunene-Cuvelai and Okavango river basins, all of which originate in Angola, are internationally shared and sustain populations on both sides of the Angola-Namibia border. To initiate a transformational shift towards sustainable, integrated management of multi-use dryland landscapes in northern Namibia, building on Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) principles, Namibia is implementing an integrated landscape management project to reverse degradation and support the sustainable use of natural resources in the Mopane-Miombo belt of northern Namibia under the Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program on Dryland Sustainable Landscapes (SFM-DSL).

    Improving Data to Support the Sustainable and Equitable Management of Ecosystems and Natural Resources in the Indian Ocean - GCP/INT/322/EC 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) is an intergovernmental organization established under the FAO Constitution to manage tuna and tuna-like species in the Indian Ocean. Its main aim is the conservation and optimum utilization of fish stocks for long-term sustainability. The IOTC’s management objective of enhancing the scientific component of fisheries management is currently limited due to a paucity of data for some of the major IOTC fisheries. In particular, the level of implementation of the IOTC Regional Observer Scheme (ROS) has been low in many contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties (CPCs). This is due to the lack of capacity of some CPCs to implement the ROS on board their vessels. The aim of this project was to support the IOTC in improving the quality and quantity of data available from scientific observers by improving the capacity of CPCs to implement the ROS. This would lead to better scientific knowledge of the fisheries and ecosystems managed by the Commission, as well as better-informed management of all species impacted by IOTC fisheries.
