Book (stand-alone)Technical reportThe Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem is a region shared by Indonesia (98 percent) and north coast of Timor-Leste (2 percent). Characterized by warm surface temperature and the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) that contributes to climate regulation, the region is a hub of mega biodiversity with unique habitats and ecosystems that offer high fisheries productivities and various other valuable ecosystem goods and services. The region has been instrumental to ensure nutrition, livelihood and coastal communities wellbeing. Valuable ecosystem goods and services that the region has to offer have been exploited by various resource users. The ecosystem services valuation carried out for the ISLME in 2020 estimated the total gross production value (GVP) at more than USD 20 billion annually, with the largest contributions from fisheries and aquaculture (the best-known use of marine ecosystem services) and marine tourism (approximately 10 percent). A 2018 PEMSEA report showed that the Indonesian seas support more than USD 180 billion of economic activities annually and can stimulate increased growth, jobs, food security, if actions are taken to protect the region sustainability in the long-term. However, growing fishing pressures, increasing human and economic activities, land conversion, among others, have posed as real threats to the region’s vital resources.Through the FAO/GEF-supported ISLME project, Indonesia and Timor-Leste formulated the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) in close collaboration with national scientific advisory groups (NSAGs), fisheries and marine experts and stakeholders. The TDA is an intensive, scientific document with emphasis on causal chain analysis (CCA), leading to the identification of the five Primary Environmental Concerns (PECs) to the region's sustainability. The five PECs are (i) declining productivity and sustainability of ISLME fishery and aquaculture, (ii) degradation and loss of marine habitats, (iii) marine and land-based pollution, (iv) decline of biodiversity and ˚key species, (v) climate change impacts. Developed in intensive consultation with fisheries and marine experts in both countries, the TDA also presents the experts recommendations, useful to inform policy and decision-making process.The TDA serves as the basis for the formulation of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) that features clear initiatives, set targets, timeframe and organizations in-charge to achieve the targets for ISLME region sustainability. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Strategic Action Programme (SAP) highlights fisheries and marine regional and national action plans, developed by Indonesia and Timor-Leste fisheries authorities and national scientific advisory groups (NSAGs) in close consultation with wider technical stakeholders. The SAP details clear initiatives for a five-year implementation period to protect the rich biodiversity and unique habitats within the Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem (ISLME) region, shared by Indonesia (98 percent) and Timor-Leste (2 percent). Endorsed by both governments in January 2024, the SAP sets concrete timeframe, targets to achieve and the actors for each initiative; and with proposed risks and management strategies to guide efforts towards sustainability. Formulated based on the findings of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), a scientific document that identified the five primary environmental concerns (PECs) for ISLME sustainability, the SAP priority action plans are designed to address the PECs through namely: (i) maintaining sustainable fisheries, (ii) restoring marine habitat biodiversity, (iii) reducing marine pollution, (iv) conserving ETP and other key marine species; and (v) responding to impacts of climate change. It also highlights the vision, goals and objectives that leads to the action plans. -
ProjectNewsletterProject News: The Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem, March2020 - Issue #1 2020
Also available in:
No results found.This March 2020 edition of theISLME Newsletter tells about the issues and actions taken in order to manage marine and fisheries resources in Indonesia and Timor-Leste context. For example, the Government of Indonesia, with the support of FAO, held a stakeholders meeting to discuss the Harvest Strategy of economic species and to inaugurate the operation of Fisheries Management Area Management body. Until March 2020, the ISLME project team had facilitated the involvement of parties to take part in research and analyze the marine and fisheries issues in the ISLME region. Universities, ministries, provincial and district/city government working units participated in the series of activities mentioned in this newsletter. Findings and recommendations from the results of this research and capacity building programs are important for the Government to develop action plans for the management of fisheries resources related to ISLME. The Newsletter Vol. 1/March 2020 highlights main activities conducted during the implementation of ISLME Project, such as Fishery Survey in Timor-Leste, drafting Timor-Leste Aquaculture Decree-Law, and its direction. This edition also covers stories from the field such as the adoption of e-logbook for small scale fisheries in North Java, FAO collaboration with UNRAM to assess lobster fisheries status in FMA 573, and also, the result of ISLME Project Facilitation including EAFM training and workshops. Findings and recommendations are stated in this newsletter for follow up. In addition, the Governments of Indonesia and Timor-Leste have taken the initiative to fill the gaps in the ISLME area through a series of capacity building programs. Content and messages in this newsletter are expected to be known and heard by the partners, government, universities, NGOs, community groups, private sectors in Indonesia and Timor-Leste and the global community in general. These partners, institutions or communities are the targets of this March newsletter.

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. -
