The preservation of forests, sustainable forest management (SFM), forest landscape restoration (FLR) and the need to make the most of precious forest resources are priority issues in the policy and sustainable development agenda of the Asia-Pacific region. Innovation will be key in the coming decades to meet the increasing demand for wood and other forest products while halting and reversing deforestation, in line with the commitment taken at COP26 in Glasgow by the international community. However, uptake of innovative technologies has been slow and uneven in the Asia-Pacific region, and there remains a gap between political commitments and the investments – in education, capacity buildin...
Innovation is essential for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals. It is also an important accelerator for the transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems and for achieving global goals such as the eradication of hunger and poverty and the sustainable management and use of natural resources. But innovation does not arise in a vacuum. Among other things, it requires enabling policies; strong, transformative partnerships; investment; an inclusive culture that is open to and encouraging of new ideas; and a willingness to take calculated risks. This edition of The State of the World’s Forests (SOF...
This outlook study focuses on the Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS), comprising 14 countries in the Pacific region – Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu (Melanesia); the Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Palau (Micronesia); and the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa, Tonga, and Tuvalu (Polynesia). It examines the future prospects for forests and trees in the Pacific, providing insights into potential pathways of change and options for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study was prepared by FAO in response to a request from the Pacific Ministers of Agriculture and Forestry and incorporates information from country outlook papers, thematic studies, and various published and unpublished sources.
L’innovation est essentielle pour concrétiser le Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 et les objectifs de développement durable. Elle est également un accélérateur important de la transition vers des systèmes agroalimentaires plus efficaces, plus inclusifs, plus résilients et plus durables et de la réalisation d’objectifs mondiaux tells que l’éradication de la faim et de la pauvreté et la gestion et l’utilisation durables des ressources naturelles. Mais l’innovation ne naît pas de rien. Elle nécessite notamment des politiques de soutien, des partenariats solides porteurs de transformations, des investissements, une culture inclusive qui soit ouverte ...
يُعدّ الابتكار أمرًا لا غنى عنه لتنفيذ خطة التنمية المستدامة لعام 2023 وتحقيق أهداف التنمية المستدامة، ويشكّل الابتكار أيضًا عاملًا مهمًا لتسريع عجلة تحويل النظم الزراعية والغذائية من أجل إيجاد نظم زراعية وغذائية أكثر كفاءة وشمولًا واستدامة وقدرة على الصمود وتحقيق الأهداف العالمية مثل القضاء على الجوع والفقر وإدارة الموارد الطبيعية واستخدامها على نحو مستدام. ولكن الابتكار لا ينش...
La innovación es fundamental para cumplir la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. También es un importante acelerador para lograr la transformación hacia sistemas agroalimentarios más eficientes, inclusivos, resilientes y sostenibles, y para alcanzar objetivos mundiales como la erradicación del hambre y la pobreza, y la ordenación y el uso sostenibles de los recursos naturales. Pero la innovación no surge en el vacío. Entre otros factores, requiere políticas facilitadoras, asociaciones fuertes y transformadoras, inversión, una cultura inclusiva que esté abierta a nuevas ideas y las fomente, y la voluntad de asumir riesgos calculados. ...
Contemporary anxieties about global warming and climate change impacts have unsettled the ways in which we think about environmental politics and human history. Intense discussions have already begun over whether we need to reconsider what we understand by the term 'environmental change' and if humans have truly become a 'geo-physical' force. Put differently, how should we recast our understanding of the planet's varied environmental pasts in order to make sense of the Anthropocene present? This collection of 19 essays on forestry and environmental change in the erstwhile colonies of the British Empire builds on Richard Grove's quest for achieving a 'global synthesis' as efforts towards writing environmental histories on a planetary scale. The Commonwealth of Nations as a single environmental bloc for study, enquiry and historical scrutiny, explores connected environmental histories, compares dissimilar ecological regions and debates ideologies for environmental management.
In this paper, the authors describe the adaptation and validation of a project-level WEAI (or pro-WEAI) that agricultural development projects can use to identify key areas of women’s (and men’s) disempowerment, design appropriate strategies to address identified deficiencies, and monitor project outcomes related to women’s empowerment. The 12 pro-WEAI indicators are mapped to three domains: intrinsic agency (power within), instrumental agency (power to), and collective agency (power with). A gender parity index compares the empowerment scores of men and women in the same household. The authors describe the development of pro-WEAI, including: (1) pro-WEAI’s distinctiveness from other...
