DocumentOther documentScaling Up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through NDCs and NAPs (SCALA) - Inception Report Thailand 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will jointly implement the Support Programme on Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through NDCs and NAPs (SCALA) from 2021 to 2024 with funding from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) through the International Climate Initiate (IKI). SCALA builds on lessons learned from the previous IKI-funded Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) Programme. To implement SCALA in Thailand, the FAO and UNDP will work closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MoAC), which is the key government counterpart and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), to achieve the NDC and NAP targets. -

DocumentOther documentPractical guidance for peatland restoration monitoring in Indonesia
A remote sensing approach using FAO-SEPAL platform
2021Also available in:
This technical document is intended to give an overview of the use of several remote sensing tools produced by FAO for peatland restoration monitoring in Indonesia. At the core of these tools is the Soil Moisture Mapping (SMM) module in the FAO System for Earth Observation Data Access, Processing and Analysis for Land Monitoring (SEPAL). The Soil Moisture Mapping module was first created using available free, global satellite datasets and meteorological observations to retrieve soil moisture worldwide based on the algorithms developed by Greifeneder et al. 20191. To interpret the soil moisture mapping results, this report shows step-by-step followed methodologies for: the selection of available field data for validation; the study of land cover physical properties in the Indonesian landscape that have an influence on the correct interpretation of the product; and detecting, characterizing, and monitoring land cover change within time series (BFAST). The aim is to provide practical guidance to perform peatland monitoring analysis and strengthen capacities of practitioners and institutions in charge of peatland management, monitoring and reporting with the help of tools on SEPAL. This builds on the report “Peatland mapping and monitoring: recommendations and technical overview” (FAO, 2020). The guidance focuses on the description step by step of FAO peatland monitoring tools, showing its advantages and limitations. It also contains summaries of peatland ecology and condition for its assessment with remote sensing products. This document offers recommendations to interpret the results and integrate them into national monitoring frameworks. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookState and outlook of agroforestry in ASEAN
Status, trends and outlook 2030 and beyond
2021Also available in:
No results found.This report encapsulates the status of and outlook for agroforestry in the ASEAN countries and endeavours to help achieve the SDGs through more sustainable and productive agri-food systems. The status, trends and outlook in this report will support policy makers and practitioners to make appropriate decisions and advance local innovations with agroforestry, especially in the context of the United Nations Decades on Ecosystem Restoration and Family Farming. It will help address the much needed governance, institutional, finance and capacity constraints, especially for promoting smallholder-oriented agroforestry systems in rural areas. Also, the outlook will help enhance the agro-ecological dimensions in land use while yielding more sustainable and productive results combined with ecological and climate-smart outcomes, including those related to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Eventually, it will contribute to improving the food and nutritional security, livelihoods and wellbeing of marginalized people through sustainable delivery of various ecosystem services. -
Book (series)Technical studyForestry for a low-carbon future: Integrating forests and wood products in climate change strategies 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Following the introduction, Chapter 2 provides an overview of mitigation in the forest sector, addressing the handling of forests under UNFCCC. Chapters 3 to 5 focus on forest-based mitigation options – afforestation, reforestation, REDD+ and forest management – and Chapters 6 and 7 focus on wood-product based options – wood energy and green building and furnishing. The publication describes these activities in the context of UNFCCC rules, assessing their mitigation potential and economic attrac tiveness as well as opportunities and challenges for implementation. Chapter 8 discusses the different considerations involved in choosing the right mix of options as well as some of the instruments and means for implementation. Chapter 8 also highlights the co-benefits generated by forest-based mitigation and emphasizes that economic assessment of mitigation options needs to take these benefits into account. The concluding chapter assesses national commitments under UNFCCC involving forest miti gation and summarizes the challenges and opportunities.
