Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureIntegrating sustainable wood supply with forest and landscape restoration: opportunities, constraints, and ways forward
02 October 2023, 9 am to 12 noon King Room 3, the Hyatt Regency Sydney Hotel, Sydney, Australia
2023Also available in:
No results found.Global momentum for forest and landscape restoration (FLR) is accelerating to achieve the SDGs, Global Forest Goals, the Bonn Challenge, and aspirations of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. In the Asia Pacific region, FAO member countries have endorsed the Regional Strategy and Action Plan for FLR, which emphasizes the importance of collaboration and coordination for FLR, including promoting private sector participation and communitylevel actions to meet the demands for forest products and services. The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing a growing demand for forest products and services due to transitions in the region’s forests, economies and societies. Recognizing this trend, the third Asia-Pacific Forest Sector Outlook Study highlights the urgent need for more sustainable and inclusive wood value chains. The Asia-Pacific Regional Conference in 2022 invited FAO to strengthen work on sustainable forestry, in particular the sustainable wood production and consumption. In this context, this regional dialogue is organized on the APFC30 DIALOGUE DAY with the support of the Australian National University to discuss the opportunities, constraints, and ways forward for integrating sustainable wood supply with FLR. A background paper on this theme has been prepared to facilitate a focussed discussion. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRestoring and sustaining landscapes together: a regional programmatic framework for forest and landscape restoration to advance the United Nations decade on ecosystem restoration in Asia 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Several challenges and barriers exist for successful implementation of Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR), particularly for smallholders and communities. These include conflicts of interest, land tenure issues, developing viable FLR models, capacity gaps and low access to financing. Past efforts in the region have not always been optimal in terms of quality of restored landscapes, analysis of local context and inclusion of stakeholders, and valorizing and funding the multiple restoration benefits among others. The Regional Programmatic Framework is an essential step forward for framing tangible partnerships and actions to address these barriers and challenges, and thereby helping countries scale up and enhance their FLR initiatives and outcomes. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureTowards strengthening capacity for advancing forest and landscape restoration (FLR) in Asia and the Pacific
14 December 2021 ǀ 14.00-16.00 (ICT)
2021Also available in:
No results found.FAO’s Regional office for Asia and the Pacific (FAO-RAP) and partners have developed a regional strategy and action plan for forest and landscape restoration (FLR) in the region. Capacity barriers need to be addressed for the strategy to be effectively implemented. Similarly, the third Asia-Pacific Forest Sector Outlook Study recommended FAO to strengthen the capacities of stakeholders in the region to facilitate FLR. Capacity development is also an output to be achieved in the regional Technical Cooperation Programme Project on FLR covering seven countries (Bangladesh, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, and Timor-Leste). Advancing on this output is the key focus of this online meeting.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
