This document summarizes a global comparative study on securing tenure rights for forest-dependent communities. It finds that between 2002 and 2013, there was an increase of at least 128.5 million hectares of land designated or owned by indigenous and local communities. However, growth has slowed since 2008, especially in lower- and middle-income countries. The study aims to understand how forest tenure reforms emerge and are implemented on the ground, identify their impacts, and factors constraining implementation. It will do this through research, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge sharing to enhance tenure security and sustainable forest management. The main focus countries are Uganda, Indonesia and Peru, with comparisons to DRC, Nepal and Ecuador.

Managing risks and avoiding pitfalls to REDD+ policy design and benefit sharing CIFOR-ICRAF
This document summarizes risks that can occur during the design and implementation of REDD+ policies. It analyzes risks that may lead to overlapping policies, inaccurate baselines, inequitable benefit sharing, and elite capture of benefits. Key risks include inaccurate reference levels setting, asymmetric information in monitoring, inadequate benefit sharing mechanism design, and lack of stakeholder participation in decision making. The risks are influenced by a country's context, capacity, data availability, tenure rights clarity, and how REDD+ policies and measures are designed and implemented. Adaptive implementation and multi-stakeholder participation can help manage some risks, while others may be outside a country's control.

This document summarizes research on REDD+ policy performance in reducing emissions from deforestation. It finds that while some countries have established comprehensive REDD+ policies, business as usual actors remain powerful drivers of deforestation. REDD+ has induced some changes at the political and administrative levels, but underlying political economic conditions have not changed significantly. For REDD+ to be truly effective, forests must be prioritized on international and national agendas. States need autonomy from interests promoting deforestation. Overcoming barriers requires legitimacy, ownership, leadership, and empowering civil society to hold states and businesses accountable.
Roles of sustainable commodity trade in global green dealsCIFOR-ICRAF
- Global land use change and commodity agriculture have significantly impacted forests and biodiversity. A large portion of these impacts are associated with international trade.

3 d finite element method modeling and simulation of the temperature of cryst...eSAT Journals
Abstract The temperature reached by solar cells/modules during operation has been simulated to have information about the temperature distribution in the solar cell/module. A finite element (FE) model of the solar cell/module was created in COMSOL Multiphysics environment. The simulations enable visualization of the temperature distribution in crystalline silicon solar cell. The effect of different encapsulating materials, Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA) and silicone on cell temperature are also investigated. An unwanted side-effect of the encapsulation of solar cells into a PV module is that the encapsulation alters the heat flow into and out of the PV module, thereby increasing the operating temperature of the PV module. These increases in temperature have a major impact on the PV module by reducing its voltage, thereby lowering the output power. A finite element (FE) model representing a real crystalline silicon solar cell/module in terms of size, mechanical and material properties is created. An in-depth study of the FE software used, COMSOL Multiphysics is done in other to get the best output in terms of solver configuration and memory considerations. Four different geometries of the solar cell/module are created for these simulations; each representing a stage or variant in the solar module assembly. At first, the models are validated comparing results from simulations such as the effect of changes in solar irradiance, wind velocity and incident angle of solar irradiance on temperature with those in literature. The effect of the type of protective cover used in the encapsulation, either glass-glass or glass-Tedlar on cell temperature is analyzed. The thickness of the protective cover layers and its optical properties are also investigated based on their effects on cell/module temperature. All the simulations leading to the conclusions drawn about the cell/module temperature and its distribution were performed by varying wind velocity, irradiance, material sizes and incident angle among other model modifications. The color maps and graphs are presented in this study. Key Words: Modeling, COMSOL Multipysics, Crystalline silicon solar cell/module, FE simulations, Temperature

Joint forest management (JFM) involves village communities and state forest departments regenerating and conserving forests through contracts specifying shared authority, responsibilities, and benefits. Two early pilot experiments took place in the 1970s in West Bengal and Haryana. JFM projects now operate in Orissa, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka, providing employment and environmental benefits by increasing forest cover and biodiversity protection through community involvement.
The document discusses forest land management in Pakistan. It provides details on the different forest types in Pakistan, including alpine pasture, sub-alpine, moist temperate, dry temperate, sub-tropical chir pine forest, and others. It then describes Pakistan's forest land management system, which includes protected forests, reserved forests, guzara forests, village forests, and other designations.
This document outlines Javed Iqbal's proposed revisions to the format of forest management plans (working plans) in Pakistan. It discusses the shortcomings of the traditional two-part format, which lacks justification for objectives and alternatives. The proposed new format has three parts: Part I describes the forest area and existing conditions. Part II evaluates alternative objectives, species, silvicultural systems, and other choices. Part III prescribes the management plan, including working circles, programs, protection, utilization, infrastructure, administration, records, and finances.
This document provides an overview of forestry in Pakistan. It discusses the history of forestry in the country, beginning in 1862. It then summarizes the different forest types found in Pakistan, including alpine pasture, moist temperate forest, dry temperate forest, and others. It also lists the forest coverage by province. Finally, it outlines the roles of various forest services across Pakistan's provinces and territories in managing the country's forest resources.
- Traditional forest management in India involved decentralized control by local communities until the 19th century when the British declared forests as government lands.
- In the late 20th century, unsustainable commercial exploitation led to massive deforestation, restricting forest resources for rural communities.
- Joint Forest Management (JFM) policies began in the 1980s and 1990s to involve local communities in forest protection and management, establishing institutions like Village Forest Committees.
- Kerala's JFM model includes different institutions for different forest areas, like Vanasamrakshana Samithis for reserved forests and Adivasi Vanasamrakshana Samithis for tribal forest areas.

By Claudio de Sassi and Christy Desta Pratama. Presentation for the “Understanding Transformational Change for REDD+ Implementation in Indonesia – Workshop and Policy Dialogue”. Jakarta, August 24 2015
Forest management involves the administrative, economic, legal, and social aspects of managing forests, including techniques like timber extraction, replanting species, and preventing fires. Forest management is needed to avoid the extinction of thousands of species, heavy soil erosion, increased greenhouse effects, flooding, landslides, and degraded watersheds. Methods of forest management include afforestation, reforestation, sustainable forest management practices, and avoiding wildfires. The document concludes that one of the biggest challenges is ensuring the sustainability of forest resources going forward.

This document provides an overview of open data policies in Horizon 2020 (H2020) research projects. It discusses how H2020 mandates open access to peer-reviewed publications and research data generated by projects. Projects participating in the H2020 Open Research Data Pilot are required to make their data publicly available by depositing it in an open research data repository. Exceptions can be made if openly sharing the data would jeopardize commercialization, privacy, or the project's main goals. The document also outlines licensing options, metadata standards, and resources like Zenodo that can help researchers comply with H2020 open data requirements.
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) aims to facilitate open sharing of data across technologies and disciplines to address societal challenges. There are two main components - the volunteer community that builds social and technical connections through Working Groups, and the business operations that support the community. Organizations performing research can engage with RDA in various ways like sponsorship, membership, or participation in Working Groups to help shape standards and address issues like data management, quality, and interoperability. RDA offers a global network and opportunities for collaboration on solutions to research data challenges.
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is an international organization with over 3,200 members from over 100 countries that works to reduce barriers to data sharing and exchange. RDA develops infrastructure and standards to facilitate data sharing across disciplines and borders. It has numerous working groups addressing issues like metadata, data citation, and interoperability. Membership is free and open to individuals and organizations with an interest in open data. RDA produces recommendations and outputs to enhance data infrastructure, practices, and policies. It holds plenary meetings to discuss progress and foster collaboration.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
