The response to the global reporting
initiative (GRI) indicators provides a brief introduction to
the World Bank’s (WB’s) complex suite of activities. The WB
consists of the International Bank of Reconstruction and
Development (IBRD) and the International Development
Association (IDA). Materiality is determined through an
assessment carried out based on GRI guidance. The assessment
evaluates the risks to the organization, the importance to

Evidence is growing that tenure-secure community forests are associated with avoided deforestation and other ecosystem-service benefits. There are also economic and social benefits connected to communal management. But securing community forest tenure also involves costs, including costs to establish supportive legislation, to demarcate and register the lands, to monitor and protect the lands as well as opportunity costs.

La seguridad de la tenencia, definida como la certeza de que los derechos sobre las tierras de una comunidad serán reconocidos y protegidos si se los cuestiona, está relacionada con una gran cantidad de beneficios para las comunidades y la sociedad en general. Cada vez existe una mayor evidencia de que los bosques comunitarios con tenencia asegurada están relacionados con la deforestación evitada y otros beneficios de servicios del ecosistema. Además, existen otros beneficios económicos y sociales relacionados con la gestión comunal.

Azerbaijan’s performance on the twin
goals has been commendable. The middle class has doubled in
size and extreme poverty has almost been eliminated in the
space of a decade. At the same time, regional differences
persist, with significantly higher poverty rates in lagging
regions, and Baku dominating overwhelmingly in terms of
share of GDP. Disparities in welfare also persist between
rural and urban areas as well as across social groups. As

The Testing REDD+ socioeconomic baseline study of the Beira landscape corridor confirmed the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation as unsustainable agriculture practices, including shifting cultivation and fire used to clear land, to hunt and to collect honey. The role of hunting and honey collection shows how harvesting non timber forest products (often referred to as NTFPs) can degrade forests — because of the use of fire.

Considerable debate has developed in recent years over the potential of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) to either rectify or exacerbate social inequities in tropical forest countries. Despite agreement on the importance of equity issues in REDD+, few studies have considered differences in equity and equitable outcomes as understood at national and local levels, and related contextspecific barriers that frustrate the achievement of equitable outcomes.

The secretariat prepared a synthesis report on the aggregate effect of the INDCs. The report was published on 1 November 2015 and became one of the key documents for governments to understand their collective effort on climate change and to shape the discussions and negotiations in Paris.

High grazing intensity and wide-spread woody encroachment may strongly alter soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools. However, the direction and quantity of these changes have rarely been quantified in East African savanna ecosystem. As shifts in soil C and N pools might further potentially influence climate change mitigation, we quantified and compared soil organic carbon (SOC) and total soil nitrogen (TSN) content in enclosures and communal grazing lands across varying woody cover i.e. woody encroachment levels.

Poster ini merupakan perangkat bagi para pelatih dan fasilitator akar rumput dalam melakukan kegiatan peningkatan penyadartahuan dan peningkatan kapasitas dalam pengelolaan hutam dan perubahan iklim bersama masyarakat setempat di Indonesia. Pada poster ini terdapat ilustrasi pada halaman depan dan penjelasan pada halaman belakang yang berfungsi sebagai panduan bagi para fasiltator saat menggunakannya.

Este trabajo analiza la política forestal en la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación durante 2008-2010 para dilucidar el contexto internacional de la inserción internacional de Argentina.
