ArticleJournal articleCreating a global map base of Indigenous Peoples and local community places and people
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The security that the world’s forest-dwelling people have over their collective lands and resources are of increasing importance in the face of global challenges such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and land degradation. As areas occupied by Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLC) are increasingly threatened, the need to clarify rights becomes more urgent. Yet, progress is incomplete and held back by a lack of knowledge of where and how IPLCs occupy land. Building on the success of the LandMark initiative to map known IPLC land rights, and Prindex, a joint initiative of Global Land Alliance and ODI to measure perceived tenure security, the next major effort is the development of a global participatory IPLC map and database platform – “map base” – with the transformative potential to map all IPLC rights to land and resources globally. This document details the prospective development of the map base platform and methodology for measuring tenure security. Key advances include the platform’s scalability, focus on community participation, predictive approaches to identifying lands likely under IPLC occupation, and the incorporation of spatially-referenced perceived tenure security data. The result will be a unique and robust platform that will fill key knowledge gaps in the urgent discussions around effective approaches to protecting forest areas and supporting the people who actively manage and depend on these ecosystems.

ArticleJournal articleCapacity building model for developing bamboo industry in Indonesia: A shared learning platform for multi-stakeholder partnerships
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Bamboo in Indonesia is one of the non-timber forest products (NTFPs) that has not yet been used and developed effectively. Its utilization still limited within traditional uses in the form of home industries or small scale enterprises. In the other hand the evidences from other countries show that modern methods to utilize bamboo at the industrial scale have improved its values and raise benefits in rural communities. This study in 2014 to 2017 employed approaches of participatory action research and multi-stakeholder analysis to 1) improve the management of bamboo for sustainable uses and for the benefits of rural communities; and 2) enhance stakeholders’ capacity in developing the bamboo industry in Indonesia. The participatory actions research were conducted with the community groups in Bangli and Ngada Regency (Bali and East Nusa Tenggara Province, respectively) by developing models on bamboo utilization started at rural level. Stakeholder analysis and several consultative meetings to address the key problems were conducted at Regencys, regencies and provincial levels; and at the national level to promote the national policy on sustainable bamboo utilization. This program campaign namely “a thousand bamboo villages” became the platform for community-based bamboo industries in Indonesia. These collaborative actions were beneficial for local communities and have unified multi stakeholders’ vision to build a sustainable bamboo industry. This study provides lessons learnt of: (i) the process on how to establish an integrated model of community-based bamboo industry; (ii) the strategy to build a collaborative network on “a thousand bamboo villages” movement; (iii) the community-based approach and stakeholder capacity building for bamboo utilization and people, public, and private partnership of the bamboo industry in Indonesia.

ArticleJournal articleMonitoring the sustainability effects of bioeconomy beyond black and white perspectives: The forest sector in Uruguay
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Bioeconomy has gained attention in recent years as an alternative to achieve the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Paris agreement. Although bioeconomy is often associated with a range of benefits it is not necessarily more sustainable and does not always create a win-win in all sustainability dimensions. Though trade-offs are inevitable they must be identified in order to be minimized or ideally avoided. However, most measures are restricted to economic sustainability while social and environmental impacts are addressed to a limited extent. In this study we present a holistic approach to monitor the sustainability of the bioeconomy in the forest sector at the value chain and national level. As proof of applicability, we use the example of Uruguay, a relatively small country in both surface (176,000 km2) and population (3.5 million), but with a strong connection to the global economy through forestry trade. The forest sector, particularly Eucalyptus cellulose, was the second most exported product in 2020 (around 14% of the total exports) and plays a vital role in the sustainable development of the country. But which sustainability effects are connected to the production of wood commodities in Uruguay and in which steps of the value chain there are opportunities to improve sustainability? In order to answer these questions, we used the most recent available forest statistics in a material flow and life cycle approach and assessed context-specific economic, environmental and social sustainability effects. The set of indicators is linked to SDGs in order to show the strong potential in coupling bioeconomy monitoring in terms of SDG reporting. Based on our results conclusions are drawn on how a systematic analysis of a sector can be conducted holistically going beyond economy and how to enhance statistics in order to make monitoring and evaluation of the bioeconomy a long-term strategy.

Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
