ProjectFactsheetReducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Community Forests and Sustainable Biomass Energy in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/081/GFF 2020
Also available in:
No results found.In Afghanistan, the harvesting of biomass fuels (wood, shrubs, crop residues and dried animal dung) to supply energy for cooking and heating has resulted in substantial deforestation and land degradation. This has been accelerated by the disruption of socio-economic structures and widespread environmental damage caused by decades of instability and violent conflict. The Government of Afghanistan has acknowledged the importance of adopting improved practices for natural resources management (NRM) and increasing access to sustainable, affordable energy. However, the introduction of sustainable alternatives to traditional practices, for example improved forest management or alternative cooking fuel techniques, requires sustained technical support and investments in research, monitoring, capacity building and awareness raising. Against this background, the project aimed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by promoting community-based management of forests and natural resources, and removing barriers to sustainable biomass energy in two target districts (Salang and Dara-e-Noor) in Afghanistan. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureDesigning a Multipurpose National Forest Inventory to Reduce Emissions from Deforestration and Forest Degradation (REDD+) 2013
Also available in:
The deforestation and forest degradation that have been recorded in recent years are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). To slow and possibly reverse this trend, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) joined the initiative under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+). -

Book (stand-alone)BulletinOptimizing soil moisture for plant production
The significance of soil porosity
2003Also available in:
This publication discusses the processes above, within and below the soil that enable water to move and crops to grow, and is intended to help land users make better use and take better care of these basic resources. The document will contribute to raising awareness of possibilities for better use of rainwater and improved management of soils. It will be useful to anyone concerned with maintaining and improving the productivity, quality and health of land, including farmers, advisory staff, trai ners and their students, as well as technical decision-makers in governmental and non-governmental agencies. It should also encourage multidisciplinary approaches and dialogues among stakeholders of different backgrouds. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
