This book presents the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (CRP6). This strategy is designed to make a significant contribution toward the vision and strategic objectives articulated in the CGIAR’s Strategic Results Framework by: enhancing the contribution of forests, agroforestry and trees to production and incomes of forest-dependent communities and smallholders; conserving biodiversity, including the genetic diversity of trees, through sustainable management and conservation of forests and trees; maintaining or enhancing environmental services from forests, agroforestry and trees in multifunctional and dynamic landscapes; reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and augmenting carbon stocks through better management of forest- and tree-based sources while increasing local and societal resilience through forest-, agroforestry- and tree-based adaptation measures; and promoting the positive impacts and reducing the negative impacts of global trade and investment as drivers of landscape change affecting forest lands, agroforestry areas, trees and the well-being of local people. The CRP6 approaches gender integration as a cross-cutting theme, which integrates gender analysis and research into each of the five components/research programmes.
