Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTenure of indigenous peoples territories and REDD+ as a forestry management incentive: the case of Mesoamerican countries
UN-REDD Programme
2013Also available in:
Programmes to reduce emissions from deforestation and ecosystem degradation, such as REDD+ and other forestry incentive programmes, including Payment for Environmental Services (PES), could represent an opportunity to strengthen processes of conservation, sustainable usage and poverty reduction in the Mesoamerican region, particularly in indigenous territories and communities. Analysing the context of such initiatives and how they are interlinked is relevant to understanding how these mu ltipurpose programmes can achieve their objectives in the light of recent developments in the recognition of indigenous peoples’ rights over land tenure and natural resources in the region. Examining these contexts and their linkages in countries such as Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama, where there are considerable forest areas with significant indigenous populations, is the aim of this study. -
ArticleJournal articleEngagement opportunities for Indigenous Peoples within the forest stewardship council: Case studies
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Forest Stewardship Council responsible forest management certification ensures that - not only forests are managed through sustainable practices - but also that FSC certified forestry companies operate in a socially responsible manner, respecting the rights of the people that live in and depend on the forest. In order to achieve this, the involvement of indigenous and non-indigenous communities in the framework of FSC certification is key. This paper describes the various engagement opportunities that FSC certification offers to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities through practical case studies across the globe: Case #1: Sweden and Finland: Sami Indigenous People; Case #2: Mexico: Indigenous communities: Ixtlán de Juarez, Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro; Case #3: Peru: Indigenous communities: Belgica, Calleria, Buenos Aires, Junin Pablo, Roya, Nuevo Loreto; Case #4: Guatemala: Association of Forest Communities; Case #5: Chile: Mapuche Indigenous People. The case studies illustrate various types of collaboration: indigenous associations proactively involved in defining national FSC standards, Indigenous communities successfully managing Amazonian and coniferous natural forest, responsibilities of forest management enterprises towards communities (consultation and mitigation of impacts), positive engagement between FSC certified entities and Indigenous Peoples (conflict resolution), dispute resolution mechanisms, workshops on forestry topics involving Indigenous communities and the involvement of Indigenous Peoples in high level political discussions at FSC. These case studies demonstrate that FSC certification provides a solid foundation for the creation of engagement opportunities with Indigenous Peoples, benefiting the communities involved and delivering on its mission of promoting socially responsible forest management worldwide.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCurrent global market situation and medium term outlook 2024
Also available in:
No results found.World tea output increased in 2022, prompted by rising production in some of the major producing countries. Output of green tea and “other” tea offset declining black tea production caused by a crop shortfall in Sri Lanka (the third largest producer of black tea). Global tea consumption expanded by 2.0 percent in 2022 compared to 2021, underpinned by strong import demand. Over the last decade, world tea intake increased annually by 3.3 percent reflecting strong growth in producing countries that has more than offset declines in traditional importing markets. In 2022, tea shipments from Kenya, China and India increased, while deliveries from Sri Lanka (the second largest exporter of black tea) declined. After increasing by 14.5 percent in 2022, tea prices fell by 9.2 percent in 2023, as availabilities expanded while demand slowed, putting downward pressure on prices. In the medium-term, the black tea market is expected to expand but at a slower pace than the previous decade, while the green tea market is foreseen to grow at a faster rate, reflecting expansion in China’s domestic market. Diversification and value addition are key to boosting the performance of the sector, as consumer behaviour is evolving and growing towards specialty teas and high-quality tea products. -
