Fondée sur les Principes de : la recherche de la durabilité socio-économique et environnementale, politique, financière et institutionnelle, la participation des acteurs et la concertation à tous les niveaux, l’approche programmatique partagée et inclusive, la prise en compte pragmatique du genre, la prise en compte de la dimension transfrontière, la Stratégie et Plan d’Actions de l’Initiative Grande Muraille Verte au Burkina Faso (SPA/IGMV) a pour objectif général de « contribuer à une meilleure productivité des terres et à la réduction de la pauvreté au moyen de bonnes pratiques de gestio

L’initiative grande muraille verte couvre pour le moment onze (11) pays africains (le Sénégal, la Mauritanie, le Mali, le Burkina Faso, le Niger, le Nigeria, le Tchad, le Soudan, l’Ethiopie, l’Erythrée et Djibouti) et vise à faire front commun et résoudre le problème de la désertification et de l’insécurité alimentaire. Au Mali, la zone d’intervention de la stratégie de la Grande Muraille Verte (GMV) couvre six Régions : Kayes, Koulikoro, Ségou, Mopti, Tombouctou et Gao ; 14 Cercles et 55 communes sur une longueur de 2066 Km d’Est en Ouest.

North China is the most important food basket of China, where the majority of wheat and corn are produced. Most crops grown in North China are irrigated, thus water security is food security. Since the 1980s, drying has been frequently observed, as shown by a reduction in precipitation, cutoff in riverflow, and shrinkage of lakes. This increase in drying cannot be explained by climate change alone. We propose that intensive land-use in this area in recent decades has had a significant impact.

This brief, produced jointly by FAO, UNEP and RECOFTC, outlines the ways in which forests contribute to climate change adaptation in the Asian region. It details current climate changes impacting forest ecosystems in Asia; key components of climate change adaptation and sustainable forest management; the current status of climate change adaptation and forests in Asia; and the way ahead.

Overview:

Trees and forests play important roles in reducing landslide risk through various mechanisms. Tree roots reinforce soil layers, anchor the soil to bedrock and form buttresses against soil movement. Trees also reduce landslide risk by lowering soil moisture levels – interception, evaporation and transpiration are the primary mechanisms. These mechanisms, and others, also make trees valuable in land reclamation following landslides.
