- 12. BROADENING THE FRAME: LANDSCAPES AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Sustainable landscapes are fundamental for our future Sector and institution fragmentation hinder us from finding good landscape solutions A generic landscape framework can provide leverage for scaling up sustainable development We must embrace and appreciate local ownership and diversity in priorities and solutions Forestry should be addressed and applied in this context – this is a challenge for current institutions (cf SDG17)
- 13. The Landscape Approach – integrated solutions for people across sectors “Despite some barriers to implementation, a landscape approach has considerable potential to meet social and environmental objectives at local scales while aiding national commitments to addressing ongoing global challenges.” Reed et al. 2016, Global Change Biology.
- 15. Elements of Capacity Development • Strategic Result Framework (4 sub-IDOs) • CGIAR Capacity Development Framework • CGIAR Capacity Development Indicators • CIFOR Strategy, Capacity Development pillar • FTA Capacity Development strategy
- 16. CIFOR PRIORITIES 2017 • Promoting scientifically solid and cost effective approaches to identify, prioritize and monitor forest landscape restoration activities • Researching gender, migration and forest management in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Indonesia • Assessing the impact of large-scale return migration (especially in Tajikistan) on livelihoods and forests, and the effects of migration on social forestry programs (especially in Nepal) • Understanding the interplay between forests and trees, bushmeat and fish for livelihoods and diets, and broader livelihood strategies • Studying the role of responsible finance and its impacts on land use, business models and landscape dynamics, and how these shape the effectiveness of finance and investment interventions.
- 17. Communications outreach and impact Integrated content packages • Gender • Peatlands • Migration • Nutrition/food security • Landscapes Improved human interest content on cifor.org and Forest News to aid our science results and reach the widest audience possible – tailored to educate, inform and impact those audiences.

Editor's Notes
- The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has been producing science that impacts forests and people since 1993. Following the Paris Agreement in 2015 and its ratification in 2016, and the global concord on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world has clear, new targets and frameworks as we look to a more sustainable and equitable future. With an eye to that bright future, CIFOR’s vision, mission and values, as well as six thematic work areas are all aligned to the SDGs and follow impact pathways for forestry research to provide positive contributions to the new development agenda
- CIFOR has 6 thematic work areas that are designed to contribute to the global development and climate agenda, and produce measurable impact. Our thematic work areas all contribute to achieving the SDGs. 1. Forests and Human Well Being CIFOR’s research in this thematic area will ilustrate and validate the diverse contributions of forests to the multi-faceted dimensions of human well-being across the topics. 2. Sustainable Landscapes and Food CIFOR responds to the complex web of food security and nutrition interactions by providing a broad perspective abd landscapes-scale comparisons across sites of the contribution that forests and tree-based agricultural systems make to healthy and diverse diets. 3. Equal Opportunities, Gender, Justice, and Tenure CIFOR’s research will evaluate the effects of devolution on forests and conservation outcomes , differentiated livelihoods and local governance, including women’s participation. CIFOR’s global comparative study on tenure seeks to more fully understand the factors that inhibit effective rights devolution. CIFOR seeks to advance gender equity and the empowerment of women and girls by deepening, expanding, and strengthening gender integration into our research and action initiatives. 4. Climate Change, Energy and Low-Carbon Development CIFOR will carry out research that improves our technical understanding of climate change and its interactions with forests and landscapes, as well as our underatsnding of the social and equity implications of climate change to ensure that the interests of rural land users are reflected in decision making. 5. Value Chains, Finance and Investments The main goal for the work to be conducted under this thematic area is to support public, private, and public-private governance arrangements that are effective in achieving sustainability, slong with inclusive business models that could improve benefit sharing and upgrading of smallholder systems, and responsible finance. This will be achieved by conducting research, building capacities, and undertaking outreach and engagement activities to reach key factors in the public and private sector, as well as multistakeholder platforms. 6. Forest Management and Restoration Managing and restoring forets for conservation and the sustainable production of wood and non-wood products is at the center of SDG 15. CIFOR focuses mainly, but not exclusively, on the tropical domain, working across multiple scale and functions. To address the issues of access to forest resources by rural people in developing countries, and to contribute to increasing forest production through more equitable multiple resource management, this work focuses on 2 main areas : diversified forest management and forest landscape restoration. Through these efforts, CIFOR aims to improve forest management and restoration in at least 70 million ha.
- BOGOR, Indonesia (13 June, 2012) _ Indonesia’s president today said that the sustainable management of the world’s forests is critical for equitable economic growth and he called for a “fundamental reinvention and reorganization of societies throughout the world.” President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that Indonesia’s economy has changed from one in which forests were sacrificed in return for economic growth, to an environmentally sustainable one where forests are prized for the wide range of ecological services that they provide to society. He declared that by 2025 “no exploitation of resources should exceed its biological regenerative capacity.”
- we need to revive the Center without walls concept (importance of partnerships).
- CIFOR is headquartered in Bogor, Indonesia, and maintains hubs in Nairobia, Kenya, Yaounde, Cameroon, and Lima, Peru. Research in the six thematic work areas is underway in more than 50 countries
- The CIFOR Strategy 2016-2025 describes our vision, mission and values, as well as six thematic work areas – all aligned to the SDGs and defining pathways for forestry research and its positive contributions to the new development agenda.
