Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSave the Date - RESULT Asia-Pacific Restoring and Sustaining Landscapes Together. Launch and Investment Forum
Bangkok, Thailand, 11-12 December 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.Asia and the Pacific, home to 4.3 billion people, is undergoing rapid economic growth with rising demand for food and natural resources. An estimated 500+ million hectares (~23%) of the region's land and resource base are degraded (Minnemayer et al.). These degraded landscapes yield reduced ecosystem services, food security, livelihood opportunities, and climate resilience.
In 2017, the Asia Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) endorsed an Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan (RSAP) for FLR. While many countries have set restoration targets aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Rio Conventions, and other international commitments, current efforts remain insufficient to address the scale of degradation or meet national and global aspirations related to sustainable development, food security, health, biodiversity, and climate change.
This Regional Programmatic Framework for FLR supports to advance the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-30 in Asia Pacific in line with the strategic priorities of the RSAP. It aims scaled-up high-quality FLR on the ground through a common overarching vision, innovative partnerships and financing, context based multi-disciplinary approaches, and a joint monitoring protocol. RESULT Asia-Pacific aims to realize a consolidated regional restoration target of at least 100 million hectares of degraded forests, forestland, agriculture, urban and other lands across Asia and the Pacific by 2030.

A Regional Programmatic Framework for Forest and Landscape Restoration

No results found.RESULT Asia-Pacific aims to realize a consolidated regional restoration target of at least 100 million hectares of degraded forests, forestland, agriculture, urban and other lands across Asia-Pacific by 2030. The Framework was designed in line with the Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan on Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Asia and the Pacific is home to 4.3 billion people and is undergoing rapid economic growth with rising demand for food and natural resources. However, an estimated more than 500 million hectares of the land and resource base is degraded. Degraded landscapes provide diminished goods and ecosystem services, food security, livelihood opportunities, and climate change resilience. In 2017, the Asia Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) endorsed an Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan for FLR (RSAP). Many of the countries have significant restoration targets and ongoing efforts. However, the efforts are far below the scale required to transform the region’s degraded landscapes and meet national and global aspirations related to sustainable development, food security, health, biodiversity and climate change. This Regional Programmatic Framework for FLR seeks to advance the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-30 in Asia in line with the strategic priorities of the RSAP.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (series)YearbookWorld Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Statistical Yearbook 2024 offers a synthesis of the major factors at play in the global food and agricultural landscape. Statistics are presented in four thematic chapters, covering the economic importance of agricultural activities, inputs, outputs and factors of production, their implications for food security and nutrition and their impacts on the environment. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as the general public interested in the past, present and future path of food and agriculture. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
