Book (series)Coffee in crisis offers a lesson in resilience: evidence from Guatemala 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The idea that resilience plays a role in mitigating the effects of disaster and climate change is becoming widespread across the development community. As a result, efforts have been made to translate the concept of resilience into actionable metrics to better understand it. In this paper, we use panel micro-data from coffee farmers in Guatemala severely affected by a widespread attack of Hemileia Vastatrix (leaf rust). This covariate shock provides a unique opportunity to a) check if greater resilience capacity is associated with better reaction to exogenous shock; and b) explore the key drivers of response mechanisms. Ultimately, this paper looks at how resilience enhancing and agroecological interventions must be combined to reduce the negative effects of leaf rust. Findings show a negative impact of the shock on households' well-being; the strategic role of resilience in mitigating those negative effects; and provide evidence on how an approach that enhances both absorptive and adaptive capacity, can be beneficial for coffee producers. -
ArticleForests’ contributions to SDGs: an overview and examples from Switzerland for integrated approaches in anticipation of future changes
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Some contributions of forests to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are readily acknowledged such as CO2 sequestration, biodiversity conservation and livelihoods. Our overview reveals a wider variety of possible interactions between forest ecosystem services and all the SDGs. While forests should be seen as an asset to be integrated into the sustainable development agenda, it is difficult to deliver such straightforward and powerful messages beyond the forest realm. Recognizing the need to better integrate forest contributions into wider policies, Swiss examples are presented through the current role of forests in the national sustainable development agenda as well as through its international forest development aid. Key elements supporting the integration of forests in other sectoral policies as well as ways of improving communication on forest ecosystem services are found to be similar across the globe. The paper concludes that traditional forest development and management strategies, which provided some of the most ancient nature-based solutions to societal needs, can provide useful lessons to the sustainability agenda. It points out that improved science-policy dialogues and cross-sectoral prioritization for action (in other words knowledge to action) can be seen as vital stepping stones. These are needed to link contributions of forests to the service of other sectors and to an accelerated implementation of the SDGs. All forests’ contributions to the implementation of the Agenda 2030 should be acknowledged now and integrated forest adaptation strategies can serve as models in the face of climate change and in anticipating the future.
