This study attempts to confirm the differences in carbon sink according to each type of land use by using the biotope map and reviewing carbon sink considering topography, and comparing those before-and-after topographic correction. The types of carbon sink were focused on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Net Primary Productivity (NPP).

In 2012, the World Bank initiated the
building urban resilience in East Asia program, aimed at
increasing the resilience of cities to disasters and the
impact of climate change by using a risk-based approach to
making public investment decisions. The objective is to
demonstrate a scalable methodology and practical tools for
risk assessment that can be used for city-level investment
decisions. This activity started with engaging selected

...the customary rights of communities and
Indigenous Peoples to forests, rangelands, and wetlands are often not
written down or shown on government maps, but they are a fundamental
reality. They cover more than 50 percent of the world’s land surface, yet
new research by RRI in 2015 showed that just 10 percent of the world’s
land is legally recognized as community-owned.2
This means that governments formally recognize communities’
ownership rights to less than 20 percent of the land they have
historically owned.

The poster presents an overview of forestland, livelihoods and customary practices in Man Ping Village, Northern Shan State, Myanmar. This poster is one of a five village case studies produced by partner organizations during field-based training on how to document customary tenure systems, supported by MRLG.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Republic of Korea was one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. Deforestation had stripped the country of half its forest cover, contributing to severe erosion, repetitive flood and drought damage and a decrease in agricultural production which threatened national food security. Recognizing the importance of forests’ watershed and soil protection functions in restoring agricultural productivity, the government undertook an intensive forest rehabilitation effort.

Le présent document a pour objectif d’aider les pays qui souhaitent élaborer un niveau d’émissions de référence pour les forêts et/ou niveau de référence pour les forêts (NERF/NRF) dans le contexte de la REDD+ au titre de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC). Il fournit un aperçu détaillé des exigences de la CCNUCC pour l’élaboration des NERF/NRF, en résumant ses directives et en les traduisant en éléments clés à considérer pour leur élaboration.

Likewise other tribal areas, the community in Kanker, Hazaribagh and Koraput have also been facing challenges emerged due to climate variability and change. While rainfed agriculture in small and marginal land is the main livelihood practice, the NTFPs provides subsistent food, nutrition and income security round the year. The fluctuation in rainfall pattern over the year and during monsoon season, higher summer temperature and long dry period are impacting the livelihood resources, hence the food security.

Congo Basin countries rely more on
wood-based biomass to meet their energy needs than most
other countries in the world. Wood fuel production is
increasing in Congo Basin countries. Urbanization often
produces a shift from fuel wood to charcoal consumption,
because charcoal is cheaper and easier to transport and
store. Charcoal is produced mostly using traditional
techniques, with low transformation efficiencies. Under a

Le présent décret fixe les conditions dans lesquelles les experts forestiers figurant sur la liste mentionnée à l’article L. 171-1 du code rural et de la pêche maritime, les organisations de producteurs du secteur forestier reconnues par l’autorité administrative dans les conditions prévues à l’article L. 551-1 du même code et les gestionnaires forestiers professionnels satisfaisant aux conditions mentionnées à l’article L.

The international development community
is increasingly demanding better evidence on the
effectiveness of policies and programs across different
sectors. The forest sector is no exception. Governments and
donor agencies explicitly seek to link investment to proven
impact. Yet the evidence base necessary to inform
interventions in the forest sector that can successfully
enhance the livelihoods of the forest-dependent poor, foster

Os assentamentos de reforma agrária têm assumido um papel de destaque em relação ao desmatamento da Amazônia nos últimos cinco anos. Atualmente cerca de 8% do território dos estados amazônicos (41,8 milhões de hectares) encontra-se destinado aos 3.589 assentamentos de reforma agrária.

Las exigencias en la industria forestal están enfocadas a alcanzar estándares de productividad y un desempeño socialmente responsable con las comunidades, trabajadores y empresas contratistas. Al igual que en otros sectores, ha habido una importante especialización funcional que ha llevado a las grandes empresas a externalizar parte de sus procesos de la cadena productiva, generando importantes vínculos con empresas contratistas, quienes deben cumplir nuevos estándares internacionales.
