Book (series)Restaurer la Terre - La décennie à venir
Unasylva no 252 - vol. 71 2021/1
2021Ce numéro d'Unasylva vise à présenter les opportunités de restauration des forêts et des paysages (RFP) et les développements récents qui peuvent contribuer à la mise à l’échelle de la restauration, afin d’atteindre le Défi de Bonn et les autres engagements nationaux et internationaux (Objectifs de développement durable (ODD), la Convention pour Diversité biologique (CDB) Agenda post-2020, Convention des Nations Unies sur la lutte contre la désertification (UNCCD) Neutralité de la dégradation des terres, Accord de Paris dans le cadre de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC)) et de répondre aux besoins de la Décennie des Nations Unies 2021-2030 sur la restauration des écosystèmes. Le contenu aborde des thématiques pertinentes pour divers publics : i) les initiatives de restauration phares qui diffèrent des initiatives habituelles car elles canalisent davantage de fonds, responsabilisent mieux les parties prenantes locales et fournissent une assistance technique améliorée par le biais de coalitions de partenaires ; ii) les avancées techniques qui peuvent diffuser la RFP et ont un immense potentiel de généralisation pour différentes raisons (faible coût, adaptabilité, pertinence pour de nombreux écosystèmes et contextes, facilité de mise en œuvre…) ; iii) les facteurs favorables à la restauration, c'est-à-dire la coordination, l'environnement politique, les ressources, les connaissances et les capacités, car ce sont les conditions qui permettent une action sur le terrain. -
Book (stand-alone)The key role of forest and landscape restoration in climate action 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Forest and land degradation affects almost 2 billion hectares (ha) of land and threatens the livelihoods, well-being, food, water and energy security of nearly 3.2 billion people. Forest and landscape restoration (FLR) is a relatively recent response to address these impacts and aims to recover the ecological functionality and enhance human well-being in deforested and degraded landscapes. Forest and landscape restoration practices have also proven to have significant benefits for addressing the impacts of climate change. These include carbon sequestration and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improving the resilience of landscapes and reducing disaster risks. Forest and landscape restoration is therefore one of the key solutions of the agriculture, forestry and other land-use (AFOLU) sector considered in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), confirmed in the Glasgow’s Declaration on Forest and Land during the twenty-sixth UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP26). This publication highlights the links between FLR and climate change mitigation and adaptation issues, and considers further opportunities to enable greater integration between the two agendas. Many large restoration initiatives have been launched in the last decade. More projects are under preparation through the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, including many projects of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). These projects, often funded under the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and other climate funds are emphasized in the report to illustrate the numerous climate benefits of FLR. As a relatively cost-effective approach to supporting carbon sequestration, conservation and sustainable forest use, FLR is playing an active role in enabling climate mitigation. Should the Bonn Challenge reach its goal to restore 350 million ha, it could sequester up to 1.7 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (Gt CO2) per year. Reduction of GHG emissions is also crucial, and the FLR approach provides a strong basis to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, especially through Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) activities. It can also support sustainable bioenergy, in particular the wood energy sector, a large contributor of GHGs. Forest and landscape restoration is also key for supporting the conservation of existing forests and landscapes to protect and enhance carbon already stored in ecosystems, such as those in peatlands. This publication describes the different tools that have been developed by FAO to better measure the quantities of carbon stored and other climate benefits achieved through FLR projects. -
BookletStandards of practice to guide ecosystem restoration: A contribution to the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
Summary report
2023Also available in:
No results found.The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021–2030 (hereafter “UN Decade”) recognizes the critical need to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of the world’s ecosystems. Effective restoration of degraded ecosystems is of paramount importance for recovering biodiversity, ecosystem health and integrity, ecosystem goods and services, climate-change mitigation and human health and well-being. UN Decade partners, through a consultative process, offered ten principles for ecosystem restoration to create a shared vision and increase the likelihood of achieving the highest level of recovery possible. To facilitate application of these principles to restoration projects, the Standards of practice to guide ecosystem restoration (hereafter, Standards of practice) provides key recommendations for the entire restoration process, which can be applicable across all sectors of society, land or sea uses, ecosystems and regions, and to the broad array of ecosystem restoration activities under the UN Decade. The goal of this document is to provide an overview of the Standards of practice.
