Displaying 2106 - 2110 of 2117Harapan Rainforest - Pilot Restoration of a Degraded Forest Ecosystem on Sumatra
General
By maintaining and protecting 101,000 ha of rainforest in the provinces of Jambi and South Sumatra, the first areas to be designated for ecosystem restoration in Indonesia, some 15.2 million tonnes of CO2 are to be securely stored over a 30-year period to serve as a model for how inactive production forest licences can be applied to a further 24 million ha of rainforest. The project calls for measures for example to combat the causes of deforestation and forest degradation, restore forest regions, develop an REDD strategy for Indonesia and other areas of rainforest around the globe and integrate biodiversity aspects, as well as to ensure the financial sustainability of the initiative.
Pacific Mangroves Initiative for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
General
Objectives and measures of the project include the efforts to increase resilience to climate change and improve livelihoods of the people of the Pacific Islands through targeted strengthening of capacity in adaptive co-management and restoration of mangroves and associated ecosystems in each of the selected countries.
Protection and sustainable use of Selva Maya in Belice, Guatemala and Mexico
General
Governmental and non-governmental actors of all three countries have implemented coordinated measures to protect and sustainably use the biodiversity and natural resources of the Selva Maya.
Technical assistance for the implementation of the agrarian policy in the framework of the VGGT
General
The project aims at supporting the implementation of the agrarian policy (2014) in the frame of the VGGT in particular regarding land access; alternative conflict resolution mechanisms and supporting the monitoring of the policy implementation.
Compensation payments for resource and landscape management conducive to carbon storage
General
Central America is the tropical region most severely affected by climate change worldwide. Soil degradation, forest loss and monocultures make it even more vulnerable to climate change. Regional efforts to harmonise climate protection activities and biodiversity goals have so far been unsuccessful. The project will create carbon sinks through forest landscape restoration (FLR) and establish these across the entire region. FLR is seen here as an approach that treats the entire landscape as a whole. The objective of the project is to restore forest resources in a way that is appropriate to the landscape as part of REDD+ in Central America. Therefore, in supporting measures for preserving landscapes (e.g. compensation mechanisms), the different types of use that lead to increased carbon storage must be taken into account and the various user groups (small-scale forest owners) must be involved in designing the mechanisms. The lessons learned, especially with regard to the negotiation process and the implementation of compensation mechanisms related to FLR, will be fed into the international discussion on climate change, particularly into dialogue on REDD+.
