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. It also 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.

 Peatlands contain huge carbon stocks yet they cover only 3 percent of the world’s land area. Improved peatland management provides climate change mitigation and adaptation opportunities. Peatland conservation and restoration also secures ecosystem services that support adaptive capacity and resilience. This brief is part of the Global Peatlands Initiative’s work to support national governments in the process of enhancing their climate commitments, such as the nationally determined contributions as well as the long-term strategies through the inclusion of climate action on peatlands.

This FAO technical paper unpacks the concept of forest-based adaptation and describes policy spheres that could bolster the role of forests and trees in providing adaptation and resilience benefits. It introduces a set of ten principles for using forests and trees to promote transformational adaptation, which were developed with leading experts from the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) and other partners. It describes the policy implications of each principle and draws on examples from diverse forest ecosystems and management practices to illustrate their application...

L’édition 2022 de La Situation des forêts du monde s’inscrit dans la suite de la Déclaration des dirigeants sur les forêts et l’utilisation des terres (Déclaration de Glasgow), par laquelle 140 pays se sont engagés à stopper le recul des forêts d’ici à 2030 et à apporter un appui à la restauration et à la gestion durable des forêts. Elle explore le potentiel offert par trois solutions forestières dans la perspective d’une relance verte et de la lutte contre des crises planétaires multidimensionnelles, parmi lesquelles...

L'objectif du Guide de la gestion forêt-eau est d'améliorer la base d'information mondiale sur les fonction protectrices des forêts pour le sol et l'eau. Il passe en revue les techniques et méthodologies émergentes, fournit des orientations et des recommandations sur la manière de gérer les forêts pour leurs services écosystémiques liés à l'eau, et donne un aperçu des arguments économiques et commerciaux en faveur de la gestion des forêts pour les services écosystémiques liés à l'eau.
