Country Forest Notes (CFNs) are a centerpiece of the World Bank Group’s Forest Action Plan (FY16–20) and Climate Change Action Plan (2016–2020). They provide a thorough assessment of the current status of forests, the forestry sector, and the investment needs to sustainably manage this valuable renewable natural resource.
Chaque année, ce rapport de la FAO, le plus consulté, présente le nombre de personnes sous-alimentées dans le monde et préconise des stratégies pour combattre la faim et la malnutrition. Suite à la publication du rapport mondial, de nombreuses statistiques sont désagrégées en rapport régionaux. Le rapport est préparé conjointement avec d’autres agences des Nations Unies, à savoir le FIDA, l’OMS, le PAM et l’UNICEF.
Vers un cacao sans deforestation au Cameroun
Les décideurs ont accès à une panoplie, vaste et de plus en plus fournie, de politiques et de mesures qui peuvent, en théorie, contribuer à réduire la déforestation et la dégradation des forêts. Des théories intermédiaires peuvent être formulées pour résumer les conditions dans lesquelles ces politiques et mesures forestières sont efficaces pour mettre fin à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts.

Pour coïncider avec le 50
The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) and the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G) are important international and continental instruments for improving the governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests for improved food security and nutrition. They are useful for dealing with the many tenure challenges confronting developing countries and set the standards and frameworks for improvement.
Le présent ouvrage s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un chantier de recherche mené avec le Comité technique « Foncier et développement » portant sur les processus de conversion des usages des sols dans les Suds. Par conversion des usages des sols, nous entendons la transformation de l’usage d’un sol cultivé ou naturel à des fins d’habitation.
Over the past two decades, growing recognition of forest-based Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPs and LCs) sparked forest tenure reforms to formalize IP and LC rights to forests and forest lands through a variety of mechanisms. Nevertheless, tenure security, an intended objective of such reforms, has received less attention, despite being integral to the life and livelihoods of IPs and LCs and important for forests.
This report is based on 10 research projects carried out in 18 sites in seven countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Viet Nam. The studies formed the basis of ten informational briefs from the research sites published together with the report (available here: https://www.recoftc.org/publications/0000432). Each study documented the legal frameworks and customary practices that affect indigenous women’s rights to access and manage forest resources and create restrictions on those rights.
Across the globe, the legal land rights and tenure of many Indigenous peoples are yet to be recognized. A growing body of research demonstrates that tenure of Indigenous lands improves livelihoods and protects forests in addition to inherently recognizing human rights. However, the effect of tenure on environmental outcomes has scarcely been tested in regions with high development pressure, such as those with persisting forest–agriculture conflicts.
