With PIM/FTA support, CIFOR collaborated with multi-stakeholder fora in Peru and Indonesia to develop a tool that allows participants to reflect on the processes and progress of their fora so that more equitable processes and outcomes may emerge. Partnering with Peru’s Service for Natural Protected Areas (SERNANP), CIFOR adapted this tool for implementation by the multi-stakeholder management committees of 76 protected areas covering 15% of Peru’s territory. In 2021, the tool was included in SERNANP’s official guidebook for management committees.

This Policy Brief provides scientifically sound guidance for decision makers to help integrate SLUS strategies into policy instruments, in order to promote synergies and address trade-offs between multiple objectives related to climate change mitigation, sustainable agriculture and peacebuilding.

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are policy instruments, mandated under the Paris Agreement, to set out a country’s selfdetermined plans to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance resilience by 2030. They are bottom-up processes in which countries contextualise and self-differentiate their climate targets and contributions based on their national circumstances and priorities.

This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Sudan, using an impact pathway analysis. Two main impact pathways are identified: 1) Resource availability and access pathway ; 2) Weak state capacity, resource governance and maladaptation pathways.

The report presents the key outcomes from the inception workshop held in Bamako, Mali from on 26 and 27 Oct. 2021. It presents stakeholder's reflections on integrated rice–tree systems with most suitable and adapted tree species, the benefits of integrating tree species into the rice landscape, the most practical CSA technologies to deal with climate change, and major constraints for gender-inclusive adoption and scaling of the technologies.

To achieve equitable sustainable agricultural intensification (SAI), it is essential to understand differential access and control over agricultural resources by women and youth, and to assess how intensification interacts with gendered and age-dependent relationships. Existing packages for assessing women’s empowerment in agriculture tend to be large-scale surveys that do not provide timely results, nor are they easily integrated into a gender-transformative process.

Recent advances in approaches to quantitative strategic foresight have enabled new insights into understanding potential futures of the agriculture sector. Quantitative foresight approaches facilitate understanding of different plausible scenarios, especially as related to both endogenous and exogenous factors (e.g., global markets and climate change). These approaches tend to be macroeconomic in nature and resolve trends relative to coarse-grained drivers.

Major declines of insect pollinators are a worldwide concern. Such losses threaten human food supplies and ecosystem functions. Monocultures of pastures used to feed cattle are among the drivers of insect pollinator declines in Tropical Latin America. Plants of the legume family (fabaceae) are mostly pollinated by insects, in particular by bees.
