Vulnerabilities of forests and forest dependent people

Social and environmental justice as a trigger of robust ambitious climate action and prosperous future for all
Chilean pavilion, COP 25, Madrid, 7th December 2019
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.

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.

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.

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.
Rangelands are more than just grass but rather complex and biodiverse ecosystems. Covering nearly half the world’s land area, they are in need of restoration and sustainable management.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Shared Value through partnerships at IIRR :
Overcoming Poverty Through Innovation and
Community Empowerment
2. Abstract
Overcoming Poverty through Innovation and Community Empowerment
IIRR’s community development and capacity building presence in Africa dates back to 1995,
and even over the past 30 years, hundreds of development practitioners from Africa have
been trained at its international center in the Philippines. The Institute attributes its
success to its conviction that interventions targeting the rural poor communities achieve
better results when those implementing such interventions go to the people, live among
them, learn from them and work with them in order to build from what they already know.
This, combined with our values and vision over the long term creates shared value for
partners, the learning communities themselves and the society. Creating partnerships that
benefit from shared Values is therefore IIRR’s main occupation. That’s how it connects with
society at large. The three pillars driving IIRR’s work are Equity, Justice and Peace. IIRR
focuses on four main programmatic areas namely Food Security and Sustainable Wealth
Creation; Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation; Education for
Pastoralists and other Marginalized Communities and; Applied Learning, which deals with
local learning for global sharing. IIRR’s Learning Community approach addresses the
overall well-being of the rural communities, as partners, including rural farmers, small
traders, marginalized groups, etc, whose intrinsic experiences are captured through the
sharing of lessons learnt. The long-term immersions make IIRR capacity building sessions
unique and effective. The success of IIRR’s strategy is anchored on its great capacity on
value sharing, capturing lessons learnt and documentation of experiences. In this session,
IIRR will share examples of how its value sharing concept has worked to the benefit of
partners including communities in Africa.

21. Our Principles of Sustainable Partnership
Our partnership principles are built around mutuality which is imbedded in our
core values of mutual trust, mutual respect, mutual knowledge, and mutual help.
These also inform effectiveness:
3. Mutual Trust between partners
True and lasting partnership is built around mutual trust, which lead to mutual
transparency through dialogue (on equal footing), with an emphasis on frequent
consultations and open sharing of information.
1. Mutual respect
• At an individual level, IIRR recognizes that all people have worth and right to make
their own decisions and lead their lives. At the organization level, IIRR and partners
recognize and respect each other’s autonomy and find common grounds for
attaining development goals.
2. Mutual Knowledge/ Join learning
This principle recognizes that all people and organizations have experiences,
resources, talents; local and traditional know-how which form the ingredient for
successful partnership.
22. Our Principles of Sustainable Partnership
cont…
4. Mutual Help
The diversity of our partners (PO, CBO, NGO, LGU) is an asset to build
on and complement each other’s contributions. E.g local knowledge
of POs and CBOs is one of the main assets to enhance and on which
to build upon.
5. Mutual Accountability and Good Governance
• IIRR and partners are accountable to each other and more so to public and
communities as well as the development process at large.
