ProjectSupporting the Transition to Sustainable Agriculture through Harmonized Incentives for Ecosystem Services - GCP/GLO/660/MUL 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The project worked towards the achievement of two inter related outcomes, the integration of IES into FAO global and regional work programmes and the promotion of IES in discussions on international policy. Through the delivery of training sessions, organization of events and contribution to publications, the project actively engaged with FAO teams to integrate IES into projects under the FAO Major Area of Work on Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity and other relevant workstreams , such as Sustainable Food and Agriculture and the guidance of work under FAO Strategic Objective 2. Likewise, by contributing to the submissions made by key FAO units, as well as the organization of side events, the project supported the integration of IES into the dialogue of FAO Governing Bodies, particularly within the Committee on Agriculture and during FAO’s preparation for the 13th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity. In addition, to better exemplify the approach and benefits of IES, the “incentives spectrum” was integrated into six FAO publications and an evaluation of IES case studies was conducted to support the development of an online IES toolkit and road map. The project was also responsible for organizing side events at relevant United Nations conventions and international dialogue events, with the broader aim of influencing the debate surrounding agro environmental targets. Additionally, efforts to work directly with national authorities and FAO units in Cambodia, Kenya, Pakistan and Rwanda were undertaken to support the adoption of IES. Finally, events were also organized and FAO projects were formulated to promote private sector investment in IES through the reorganization of public funds into harmonized incentive packages. -

ArticleChallenges and risks of transition of the Eurasian mid-latitude ecotone forests to sustainable forest management
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Eurasian Mid-latitude ecotone (EMLE) is associated with the xeric belt – the transition zone between subboreal and southern forestless biomes where lack of humidity is a major limitation factor of forest growth and distribution. Current climate projections for the ecotone (from Ukraine through southern Russia, up to Pacific along the southern boundary of Russia) predict the substantial increase of the temperature and unstable but insignificant increasing of precipitation. It makes water stress a major driver of risks there. Recent studies on vulnerability of the EMLE forests show that within the above Scenarios the substantial part of the ecotone’s territory very likely will not be suitable for growth of main boreal and temperate species. By end of this century, the critical conditions of very dry steppe and semi-deserts will be typical for the current southern part of the boreal zone and forest steppe. Alteration of natural disturbances (particularly fire and outbreaks of insect and pathogens) will provide a synergetic effect with increasing temperature and climate variability. The transition to adaptive, risk resilient sustainable forest management becomes an urgent national and international task. This extreme complicated problem requires inter alia 1) understanding by societies, governments and policy makers the particularly important role of forest ecosystems in current and future wellbeing of the nations and maintaining the satisfactory environment; 2) implementation of appropriate state forest policies; 3) need of new knowledge and information, which would be able to provide early detection of negative changes in forest ecosystems; 4) intensification on integrated research on vulnerability of forests in a rapidly changing environment; and 5) development of a new paradigm, methods and tools of forest management within the ecotone. The paper outlines scientific, social and economic aspects of the problems should be elaborated and implemented.Keywords: Adaptive and ecosystem management, Climate change, Landscape managementID: 3486408
