Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetREDD+ and FLEGT: Working together to strengthen forest governance and mitigate climate change 2016Forest loss contributes to one-sixth of annual greenhouse gas emissions, making it a major contributor to climate change. Experience shows that approaches to reducing deforestation and forest degradation and strengthening forest governance – such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) – can be far more effective in countering forest loss if they are jointly implemented. To date, however, few countries have capitalized on the synergies between these processes. Widely acknowledged similarities between the objectives of REDD+ and FLEGT initiatives present obvious opportunities for common action to address deforestation and strengthen forest governance. Both REDD+ and FLEGT share a number of common goals and approaches and target the same actors – forest sector stakeholders from government entities, local communities and indigenous people, as well as the private sector. Both are incentive-based mechan isms to promote the sustainable management of forests, and both place strong emphasis on forest governance for their success.

Policy briefForest and farm producers – climate-change sentinels
Policy brief
2021Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief summarizes key findings and sets out six clear recommendations for how to build long-term climate resilience among smallholders. Smallholder farmers are already taking action on climate resilience and producer organizations are best-placed to support them. We urgently need to invest and scale up support for forest and farm producer organizations to boost the resilience of smallholder farmers – for their own livelihoods, for global food security, and to maintain sustainable forests and farms. -
ArticleDoes co-management in Bangladesh a solution for vertical linkage between the local stakeholders and government for ensuring forest governance for climate mitigation?

No results found.Bangladesh is a developing country with high population density. The forest cover of Bangladesh is blessed with rich biodiversity. Besides, forests provide us every necessary product. So, conservation of existing forest resources is essential for meeting our daily needs and as well as mitigating climate change effect and adaptation efforts. Management of existing forest resources is not an easy task because there exists always an implementation problem since the very beginning. In the past the forest areas of Bangladesh were managed by the Forest Department (FD) through traditional forest management practices. But, in today’s time the fluffiest scenario has been converted. Now a days people-oriented approaches are getting popularity for their effective results. Co-management in protected areas is considered being one of the effective approaches. As local community have priority in this approach for taking decisions with the other relevant stakeholders so, strong vertical linkage between the local stakeholders and the government is needed for ensuring fruitful conservation efforts. Otherwise, conflicts will be arrived in different phases of management. This paper focuses on analysis of the present condition of forest co-management approach in Bangladesh, to identify the multiple actors and institutions of co-management and to show how co-management can be a solution for ensuring vertical linkage between the stakeholders and the government such as; the participation of local community in decision making creates links with the state actors. These fundamental issues are illustrated with observations on resource co-management in some Protected Areas (PA) of Bangladesh. This study demonstrates the form of vertical interplays and determines its contribution to provide guideline for entire community participation, Proper policy implementation.
