Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetUNCCD-FAO Initiative on land tenure
Supporting countries with the integration of tenure security into land degradation neutrality and land restoration initiatives
2024Also available in:
No results found.Since a decision of the Parties of the UNCCD Convention during UNCCD COP14, the Parties keep on reiterating the need to better integrate tenure security into land degradation neutrality initiatives. To answer this call the UNCCD-FAO initiative carried out the design of a technical guide on this matter, and then supported a first group of five countries to organize national consultations to reflect and discuss on how better integrate tenure security into land degradation neutrality initiatives (answering the call of the UNCCD COP15 Decision on land tenure). This leaflet presents an overview of the UNCCD-FAO Initiative process to support a first group of five countries (Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Mexico, and Senegal), relying also on support from FAO national offices and external partners, in some cases aligning with ongoing multistakeholder platforms and capacity building programmes. These national consultations were based on a multistakeholder approach involving government, civil society organizations, local communities and private sector. They were tailored for each of the five countries, focusing on specific development challenges and the most relevant pathways to catalyze action in terms of policy and implementation. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetRestoration of degraded agricultural lands
An urgent need for agrifood system transformation and land degradation neutrality
2024Also available in:
No results found.Human-induced land degradation has heavily impacted agrifood systems, pushing their productive capacity in unsustainable ways and putting at risk global food security and nutrition, environmental sustainability, and social stability. Over 60 percent of the human-induced degradation is estimated to occur on agricultural land and nearly 30 percent occurs in areas covered with trees and forests. Restoration of degraded agricultural land needs urgent political leadership, massive investments, and concerted actions. Without the restoration of agricultural land, the achievement of global targets of land degradation neutrality (LDN) and zero hunger are not possible. There are opportunities to reverse the trend and move towards more sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. Among these are focusing on the restoration of agricultural lands and investment on using suitable lands for specific crops to narrow the current yield gap. -
Book (series)Final evaluation of the project “Securing tenure rights for forest landscape-dependent communities: linking science with policy to advance tenure security, sustainable forest management and people’s livelihoods”. Main report
GCP/GLO/806/GFF GEF ID: 5797
2019Also available in:
No results found.Peru is among the world’s ten mega-diverse countries, Indonesia’s rainforests shelter almost 20 percent of the world’s plant, mammal and bird species, while Uganda forests are home to about 7.5 percent of mammal and 10.2 percent of global bird species, and support the world’s highest number of primate species. Unclear tenure and conflicts are the major factors in deforestation of forest areas targeted by the project implemented by FAO, aimed at securing tenure rights for forest landscape-dependent communities: linking science with policy to advance tenure security, sustainable forest Management and people’s livelihoods. Which results achieved the project, and what are the lessons that can be replicated? To what extent were government institutions and indigenous communities empowered by the project to develop and implement policies and projects that support tenure security, livelihoods and sustainable forest management? These are just some of the questions answered in this evaluation.
