It certainly has been a busy year; one in which we have set in place important new strategic initiatives and directions for our organiza- tion. These offer numerous new and interesting opportunities for IUFRO scientists to network and share research results, thus increa- sing the visibility of forest science worldwide. The impressive number of 80 IUFRO co-sponsored meetings and a strong IUFRO presence in global policy processes and events pro- vide ample evidence of a high level of activity and success in just the first year of the 2014-2019 Board term. My sincere thanks go to the many IUFRO scientists who have contributed to these accomplish- ments. The 54th Meeting of the IUFRO Enlarged Board in April 2015 provi- ded the first milestone to achieving our goals set out in our new Strategy that serves as our “roadmap” leading up to the XXV World Congress in Curitiba, Brazil, in 2019.

  • Restoring Africa's Landscapes Regional
    RESTORING AFRICA’S LANDSCAPES REGIONAL CONFERENCE ORGANIZED BY THE GLOBAL LANDSCAPES FORUM IN GHANA GRASSROOTS EXCHANGE OF KNOWLEDGE AND BEST PRACTICES The Global Landscapes Forum organizes the Regional Conference 2019 Restoring Africa’s Landscapes: Uniting actions from above and below. The Conference will take place in Accra (Ghana) on 29 - 30 October 2019. The Global Landscapes Forum website underlines that…land degradation is negatively impacting at least 3.2 billion people and costing over 10 per cent of the annual global gross product in loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Reversing degradation of land and marine ecosystems can provide more than one- third of the climate change mitigation required by 2030 to remain below a 2°C increase in average global temperatures and at the same time conserve biodiversity, increase food and water security, and help achieve the sustainable development goals. The objective of the Conference is to make an examination of successful, sustainable forest and landscape restoration projects throughout the continent of Africa in order to understand what approaches are effective and how these can be replicated elsewhere. In particular, the Conference intends to address the following issues: • Sharing restoration planning: best practices in restoration planning, based on experiences from such organizations as AFR100, FAO and International Union for Conservation of Nature to encompass lessons from governments and local communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. • Collaboration between farmers and the private sector: local forests and ecosystems provide livelihoods and income for farm families and communities. • Linking ecology and community for strong social and ecological benefits: what kinds of forestry, agroforestry and agricultural land use arrangements have helped achieve social and livelihood goals.

  • Scaling up Investment and Finance for Integrated Landscape Management
    Scaling up investment & finance for integrated landscape management: Challenges & innovations A White Paper from the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature Initiative Seth Shames and Sara J. Scherr ACKNOWLEGEMENTS This study is an output of the Finance Working Group of the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature Initiative. The Initiative has been working since 2011 on knowledge sharing, dialogue and action to support the implementation of Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) around the world. The Finance Working Group seeks to expand financing for integrated landscape investment by articulating, analyzing and disseminating the case for investing in ILM to finance stakeholders, and by supporting the mobilization of finance for integrated landscapes in national development strategies in selected countries. Working Group members who provided substantive input to this paper include Elsie Attafuah (United Nations Development Programme), Mohamed Bakarr (Global Environment Facility), Christophe Besacier (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), Margot Hill Clarvis (Earth Security Group), Paul Chatterton (World Wildlife Fund), Iain Henderson and Ivo Mulder (United Nations Environment Programme), Melinda Kimble (United Nations Foundation), Gabrielle Kissinger (Lexeme Consulting), Ludwig Liagre (Global Mechanism of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification), Helene Roy (Rainforest Alliance) and Leo Soldaat (Hivos), as well as the authors.

  • Climate Action in the Landscape Global Landscapes COP 24, Katowice, Poland Forum Sunday, 9 December 2018
    Concept note Climate Action in the Landscape Global Landscapes COP 24, Katowice, Poland Forum Sunday, 9 December 2018 Coordinating partners Funding partners 2 Concept note: Climate Action in the Landscape Global Landscapes Forum About the Global Landscapes Forum The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is the world’s largest knowledge-led multi-sectoral platform for integrated land use, bringing together world leaders, scientists, private sector representatives, farmers, community leaders and civil society to accelerate action towards the creation of more resilient, equitable, profitable and climate-friendly landscapes. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), UN Environment and The World Bank launched the Forum in Warsaw in 2013, alongside the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of Parties (COP). With core funding provided by the German government, the GLF is entering its next five-year phase by launching a movement of 1 billion people towards the creation of sustainable landscapes. GLF’s mission is to connect and maintain long-lasting relationships between relevant actors to aid in reducing institutional overlaps, silos and barriers. Foremost, it is committed to action within landscapes, including registering pledges to restore 128 million hectares of land, protect over 70 watersheds and enact equitable policies. In its 2018-2022 phase, the GLF aspiration is to move even further from “pledges to action.” The GLF carries out learning and capacity building, youth networking, global, regional and thematic conferences online, forum activities and competitions. In the past six years, the Forum has hosted four global conferences: Warsaw 2013, Lima 2014, Paris 2015 and Bonn 2018; thematic events in London and Washington, D.C.

  • Terms of Reference for AFR100 Governance Bodies
    Draft November 2017 Terms of Reference for AFR100 Governance Bodies As of November 2017 Overview and objective The African Forest Landscape Restoration (AFR100) Initiative seeks to restore 100 million hectares of degraded and deforested land in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. Restoration of productive landscapes through AFR100 will lead to economic growth, help reduce poverty, stabilize food production, protect biodiversity and contribute to adaptation and mitigation of climate change. Brief history AFR100 was launched in December 2015, during the Global Landscapes Forum at the COP21 in Paris by representatives of participating African countries and a wide range of financial and technical partners (including the NEPAD Agency, BMZ and WRI). Prior to the launch, informal consultations with African technical staff working on Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) were held at the World Forestry Congress in September 2015 in Durban, South Africa. The African Union Specialized Technical Committee within the Department of Rural Development, Environment and Agriculture (DREA) endorsed the 100 million hectares goal in October 2015 through the African Resilient Landscapes Initiative (ARLI). It was conceived as a partnership to boost the contribution of the African continent to the Bonn Challenge and The New York Declaration on Forests, ALAP, ARLI and other related initiatives to restore deforested and degraded forest lands. Value proposition AFR100 brings together political leadership with financial and technical resources to support a large-scale FLR movement across Africa. It provides a platform to more effectively work together to accelerate restoration successes. Activities are driven and owned by partner countries. Contributions by international partners support national efforts and deploy resources to partner countries.
