The document outlines IFAD's policy on environment and natural resource management. The policy aims to (1) enable rural poor communities to escape and remain out of poverty through more productive and resilient livelihoods and ecosystems and (2) integrate sustainable natural resource management across IFAD's activities and partners. The policy promotes 10 principles including scaled up investment in sustainable agriculture, recognition of natural assets, climate-smart approaches, risk resilience, and empowering rural communities to manage natural resources.

- 1. IFAD Policy on Environment and Natural Resources Management An Ever-Green Revolution: Resilient Livelihoods through the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources
- 3. The problem: complexity, interconnectedness, scarcity
- 6. 10 principles: IFAD will promote… 1. Scaled up investment in sustainable agricultural intensification 2. Recognition and greater awareness of the economic, social and cultural value of natural assets 3 . ‘Climate-smart’ approaches to rural development 4. Greater attention to the risk and resilience from environment and natural resource-related shocks 5. Engagement in value chains in a way that drives green growth 6 . Improved governance of natural assets through strengthened land tenure and community led empowerment for the rural poor 7. Livelihood diversification for sustainable natural resource use and climate resilience 8. An inclusive gender approach and the full participation of indigenous peoples in managing natural resources 9. Rural smallholder communities to benefit from environment and climate finance 10 . Environmental commitment through IFAD’s own behaviours
- 10. Implementation – 5 years Resource mobilization – additional supplementary funding secured to support integration into portfolio Operations – scaling up and systematic integration through concept to evaluation Organisation – internal structure, organisational incentives and demonstrated leadership Knowledge and Advocacy – stronger portfolio learning driving increased implementation support, innovation and communications
- 12. Thank you
Editor's Notes
- Why are we developing this policy?\n\nBoard requested for a cc strategy and an ENRM policy in conjunction with our 8th replenishment.\nARRI evaluation: environment and natural resources were found to be one of the weakest rated impact areas.\nThere is an internal demand for greater coherence on ENRM. We have the ESA Procedures, that we revised in 2008, but we lack a broader framework within which to implement them.\nIn addition to providing that coherence, this policy seeks to better align IFAD’s operations with the wider donor community.\nWe believe that delivering on ENRM is critical to meeting our mandate of rural poverty alleviation and enhanced food security.\n
- The Indo-Gangetic Plain stretches from Pakistan to Bangladesh, covering 700,000 sq km and inhabiting about one billion people. The region is known for its rice-wheat system, where rice is cultivated in the summer and wheat in the winter.\n\nThis region, in a sense, represents a hotspot in terms of a decline in the natural assets that sustain agricultural production. We all recall the recent floods in Pakistan that along with drought in Russia are driving food prices close to the levels of 2007-08. We are also aware of the sharp decline in the Himalayan glaciers that renders water flows increasingly unpredictable.\n\nAt the same time, the Indo-Gangetic Plain is living proof of the backlash of the Green Revolution: with salinisation, nutrient mining, declining organic matter, groundwater depletion and excessive use of agrochemicals resulting in the emergence of resilient pest and weed populations.\n\nIn the case of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, government subsidies to groundwater extraction constitute a tremendous disincentive for farmers to adopt more water efficient crops and irrigation techniques. Environmental legislation has effectively reduced the use of pesticides in countries like India and Indonesia. Where farmers are expected to invest in the long-term productivity of the soil, secure access to land is fundamental. Moreover, incentives are needed to cover the short-term costs of long-term sustainability.\nThe Outcome? (read slide)\n
- IFAD AND ITS PARTNERS FACE AN INCREASINGLY COMPLEX AND INTERCONNECTED CONTEXT FOR USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES – LAND, WATER, FORESTS, ETC\n\nDelivering our mandate on rural poverty alleviation and food security is increasingly resembling solving a Rubik’s cube. Where we used to focus on one face, agricultural productivity, we now see that there is much more to the challenge.\nTo deliver on poverty and food security, we must build climate resilience.\nIn the face of a global water crisis, we must place much greater emphasis on water resources management.\nWith land-use change reaching unsustainable levels, intensification is the only viable way forward for increasing global agricultural output.\nStill, in light of growing evidence on the essential role of biodiversity and ecosystems, we must pursue agricultural intensification in a way that maintains and enhances ecosystem services.\n\nJules Pretty: Thus the goal of the agricultural sector is no longer simply to maximize productivity, but to optimize it across a far more complex landscape of production, rural development, environmental and social justice outcomes (IAASTD, 2009; Godfray et al., 2010; Sachs et al., 2010).\n\nTHESE ARE SOME OF THE FACES OF THE RUBIK’S CUBE WE HAVE TO SOLVE IN A WORLD THAT IS MORE INTERCONNECTED AND HENCE MORE COMPLEX THAN EVER.\n
- In the face of complexity, interconnectedness and growing scarcity, we propose the following policy to guide IFAD’s response.\n

- (IMAGE: WATERING SEEDLINGS FOR AGROFORESTRY IN BURKINA FASO)\nSMALLHOLDER FARMERS CANNOT AFFORD to separate agricultural production and natural resources management.\nThere is growing evidence of the LIMITS OF THE GREEN REVOLUTION, which placed emphasis on production at the expense of long-term sustainability. As a result, input-intensive agricultural technologies are falling prey to the law of diminishing returns.

- Building on IFAD and its partners experience and illustrating how they translate in practice, including how they INTERACT at the LANDSCAPE LEVEL. RECOGNIZE that a key issue or sector can be an ENTRY POINT for developing a more INTEGRATED and CROSS-SECTORAL ENRM approach.\n
- In land policy, one size does not fit all!\n Even where policy dialogue does not yield results, improved land management and land-use planning offer opportunities on the local level.\n IFAD favours alternatives to land acquisitions.\n
