The document summarizes key events and concepts related to REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), including the establishment of the UNFCCC in 1992, adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, and introduction of REDD+ in 2005. It discusses REDD+'s scope, reference levels, financing mechanisms, and distribution of incentives. Ongoing REDD+ projects through the UN-REDD Programme are working to develop national REDD+ strategies in countries like Indonesia.

Nepal has made progress on REDD+ through developing an Emission Reductions Program Document and Forest Investment Program. However, gaps remain around fully endorsing the national REDD+ strategy, integrating adaptation into forestry, and ensuring sub-national coverage of REDD+ programs. REDD+ in Nepal supports several Sustainable Development Goals and Nationally Determined Contribution targets through community forestry management, sustainable forest management activities, and emission reduction programs. Improving benefit sharing mechanisms, private sector engagement, and monitoring protocols can help Nepal further advance REDD+ and its linkages to climate and development goals.

Nepal has proposed several adaptation strategies including focusing on agriculture, water resources, forests, biodiversity, health, and integrating sectors. Some ways to strengthen adaptation discussed are handing over national forests to communities, land reform, improving natural resource governance, enhancing community capacity, and increasing resiliency. Over 35% of national forests have been handed over to about 40% of households, and communities now have access, use, and management rights over forests. Devolving more control to communities over natural resources is seen as a way to increase resiliency.

1. Globalized trade and international processes like the SDGs are driving changes in timber value chains towards sustainability and a green economy. 2. Buyer preferences and requirements, especially from developed countries, are an important influence through demands for legality and certification. 3. Meeting these demands requires inclusion of small and medium enterprises through support for processes like legality verification and certification. 4. Multi-stakeholder initiatives involving government support, bottom-up participation, and consideration of impacts on vulnerable groups like women can help improve sustainability and livelihoods in the furniture industry.

REDD Plus and Indigenous Peoples: Opportunities and Risks

IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development

REDD Plus aims to compensate tropical forest countries for stopping deforestation and forest degradation to reduce CO2 emissions. While it presents opportunities to influence policy and benefit sharing, it also risks exacerbating threats to indigenous peoples' rights and forests if not designed and implemented properly. Safeguards are needed to ensure free, prior, and informed consent, respect for indigenous knowledge, and equitable benefit sharing. Continued engagement in UNFCCC talks and national REDD+ processes is important to protect gains and push for more safeguards.

Mapping hotspots of climate change and food insecurity across the global tropics

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

The document discusses mapping areas vulnerable to food insecurity due to climate change across the global tropics. It outlines a framework to assess vulnerability based on 3 components: exposure, sensitivity, and coping capacity. Exposure looks at climate threats like reduced growing periods. Sensitivity considers dependence on agriculture. Coping capacity examines chronic food insecurity. Combining the 3 components results in 8 vulnerability domains, with high exposure, high sensitivity, low coping capacity considered most vulnerable to climate-induced food insecurity. The work aims to identify climate and food security hotspots to target adaptation efforts.

Bakarr 2 2006 29th september

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

Agroforestry can play an important role in biodiversity conservation by reducing pressure on natural forests, providing habitat for plant and animal species, and serving as a beneficial land use between fragmented landscapes. There are several principles of agroforestry that support biodiversity conservation, such as maintaining genetic diversity, protecting ecological processes, and improving landscape management for livelihoods and biodiversity. For agroforestry to be further mainstreamed in biodiversity conservation, its principles need to be integrated into landscape conservation planning and linked to global environmental policies and incentives that support small farmers' conservation-friendly practices.

It outlines that agroforestry can: (1) maintain ecosystem structure/functions like biodiversity and soil quality while providing social/economic functions for family farms; (2) perform restoration in an economically feasible way by including people and accelerating natural succession; and (3) improve livelihoods through appropriate management. However, balancing trade-offs between social/environmental benefits and costs is challenging. The document then provides examples of agroforestry systems for restoration in Brazil and their costs, benefits for climate change adaptation/mitigation, food security, and carbon storage potential.

Vulnerabilities of forests and forest dependent people

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

This document discusses the vulnerability of forest-dependent people and forests to climate change. It notes that over 1 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods, while 1 billion hectares of land are under agroforestry worldwide. Climate change poses direct risks like increased temperatures and wildfires, and indirect risks through impacts on species and ecosystems. Potential transition issues from policies like REDD+ could negatively impact land and tree rights of indigenous groups. The document argues that comprehensive vulnerability assessments are needed using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand all vulnerabilities, include stakeholders, and identify good practices to address risks to forests and forest-dependent communities from climate change.

Pests and diseases of trees in Africa: review of a growing emergency

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

An increasing multitude of insect pests and pathogens is targeting indigenous trees of natural forests, agroforestry systems, and exotic trees in planted forests in Africa. This is raising major concerns for a continent already challenged by adaptations to climate change, as it threatens a vital resource for food security of rural communities, economic growth, and ecosystem conservation. The accidental introduction through trade of non‐native species in particular is accelerating, and it adds to the damage to tree‐based landscapes by native pests and diseases. Old‐time and new invaders heavily impact planted forests of exotic eucalypts, pines, and acacias, and are spreading quickly across African regions. But many non‐native pathogens are recently found affecting important indigenous trees.

Inclusive business models include many smallholder farmers but benefits are not always equitable. Responsible finance from impact investors and social lenders has potential to leverage more equitable models and landscape restoration, but investments have not been well adapted for cocoa sectors. A "multi-chain approach" is proposed to better leverage finance through a portfolio of value chains at the landscape level.

This paper assesses the potential impact of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8 on forests and forest-dependent people. The concepts of decent work and economic growth are put in the context of predominant development theories and paradigms (modernization, economic growth, basic needs, sustainable development) which shape the agendas of governments, private sector, civil society, and investors. These stakeholders pursue different goals and interests, with uneven prioritization of SDG 8 targets and mixed impacts on forests and livelihoods.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

With an extension of 2.1 million ha, the Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR) in Petén, Guatemala is the largest protected area in Central America. To reconcile forest conservation and socio-economic development, community forest concessions were created in its Multiple Use Zone (MUZ) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Operated by a community forest enterprise (CFE), and with a cycle of 25 years, the concessions grant usufruct rights to local communities on an area of about 400,000 ha. Currently, nine concessions are active, while the contracts of two concessions were cancelled and the management plan of another suspended.

Sustainable land management for improved livelihoods and environmental sustai...

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

A healthy viable multifunctional landscape has the capability of supporting sustainable agricultural productivity, providing agroforestry and forest products (timber, fuel wood, fruits, medicine, fertilizer, gum etc.) for the sustenance of mankind while providing other environmental services. However these products are increasingly becoming unavailable due to declining soil fertility, climatic extremes, and high costs of inputs. Identifying low-cost, sustainable ways to attain food security and sustainable environment for millions of smallholder farmers in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) remains a major developmental challenge.

As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies. In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257
