Model Forests, Social and political impacts, by Josique, IUFRO World Congress
Presentation by Josique Lorenzo at the IUFRO World Congress in Salt Lake City, USA, October 7th 2014.
Session 26. International to local forest governance: taking stock of political theories, methodologies and research findings
Organizers: Lukas Giessen (University of Goettingen, Germany), Bas Arts (Wageningen University, Netherlands), Florian Kraxner (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria) & Constance McDermott (University of Oxford, UK)
This session aims at taking stock of innovative theoretical, methodological and empirical achievements in forest governance research, from the local to the global level.
Abstract. A Model Forest is a landscape-level approach focused on people working together voluntarily in partnership towards a common vision of the human sustainable development of a large territory in which forest ecosystems play an important role. In the Ibero-American region, there are currently 29 Model Forests in 15 countries, which means that the approach is having a potential impact on the management of over 30 million hectares and on more than 6 million people. The emphasis is usually placed on environmental and economic benefits, whereas this research examines the main social and political impacts which emerge from the analysis of the reports submitted by the Model Forests to the regional network secretariat during the last decade and the data collected through interviews and monitoring activities. The study indicates that Model Forests constitute effective platforms for the application of international agreements, public policies and State programs at the local level, and that they are able to influence decision-makers through advocacy. The paper reviews the success stories of several Model Forests in this regard. Finally, even though the Model Forests process is still at its early stages, the study shows how it can drive long-term sustainability and social change in the communities.

NBDC researchers experimented with various approaches to tackle natural resource management issues in Ethiopia, with mixed results. These approaches helped stakeholders critically discuss resource use, understand different social needs and priorities, and explore alternative strategies. Challenges that emerged included a lack of common understanding between platform members leading to competing agendas, more powerful actors dominating community representation, and questions around who should facilitate addressing power dynamics - internal or external actors.

Community participation the arnstein ladder
The document discusses different levels of community participation, from non-participation to citizen control. It presents the "Arnstein ladder" which ranks levels of tokenism and non-participation at the bottom rungs versus citizen power and citizen control at the top. Lower rungs include informing, consultation, placation while higher rungs involve partnerships, delegated power, and citizen control. It also discusses common strategies for participation like citizens' juries and barriers to meaningful participation from both community members and powerholders.
Local and Community-Driven Development
This document discusses the need to rethink development models to focus on empowering communities and building from the bottom up. It argues that development happens through local, community-driven efforts, not through top-down approaches. Some key points made include: listening to communities systematically, allowing their voices to be heard; redesigning services and business models from the bottom-up rather than the top-down; providing supportive policies, services, and infrastructure to communities; trusting communities to drive their own development; and expanding local services using community-based models. Examples from other countries show how empowering communities through approaches like community-based planning and local funding can generate social capital and positive development outcomes.

Social learning for collective action on climate change
This document discusses social learning as a way to address "wicked problems" like climate change adaptation. It analyzes three cases of social learning from Africa and reflects critically on social learning in theory and practice. Key challenges include issues of power and consensus building, recognizing problems without the power to create change, and evaluating impact and outcomes. Moving forward, the document argues for transforming institutions and research to build a stronger evidence base on whether and how social learning improves development outcomes in addressing climate change.

ODR and Conflict Transformation
This document discusses the use of online dispute resolution (ODR) and information and communication technologies (ICT) in conflict transformation. It makes three key points:
1. Conflict transformation is a process of engaging with and transforming relationships, interests, and society to address the root causes of violent conflict, rather than just settling disputes. ICT can help sustain this process even when direct interactions are not possible.
2. There are challenges to using ICT in conflict transformation, including ensuring appropriate and strategic use, building trust in virtual spaces, addressing issues of access, adoption, funding, and structural problems in infrastructure and resources.
3. ICT alone cannot create lasting peace - it is only a tool that can augment

5th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2014 Integrative Risk Management - The role of science, technology & practice 24-28 August 2014 in Davos, Switzerland1. the relevance of participatory governance
This document discusses participatory governance and citizen participation. It defines participatory governance as citizens being involved in decision making through activities like planning, monitoring, and implementation of government programs. It outlines the legal basis for citizen participation in the 1987 Philippine Constitution and cites international covenants. The benefits of participatory governance are listed as more responsive services, increased productivity, and a sense of ownership. Key qualities of good citizens are described as being active, responsible, participatory, and justice-oriented. The rights and responsibilities of Filipino citizens are also delineated.
Presentation on Community based Early Warning System & CBDRM
This document discusses Community-Managed Disaster Risk Management (CMDRM), which involves communities actively engaging in identifying, analyzing, responding to, monitoring, and evaluating disaster risks in order to reduce vulnerabilities and increase capacities. CMDRM is implemented through interactive community participation, needs assessments, community action plans, and formation of community groups. The process facilitates contingency planning and early warning systems. Evaluations found that community action plans were effectively implemented and communities reported improvements in pasture availability, water and veterinary services, education, and use of early warning information.
Community-Driven Development And Local Governance In Haiti
The document discusses a study examining how community-driven development (CDD) programs affect local governance in Haiti. CDD empowers community groups to control planning and resources for local projects. The study aims to determine the extent and ways CDD impacts local governments and under what conditions. It outlines Haiti's context, a CDD program called PRODEP, and a theoretical framework expecting local officials to compete, accommodate, or undermine CDD. The methodology matches CDD and non-CDD communities to estimate CDD's average effect. Insights from the field note local governments' limited capacity but respected authority.

5201 infobrief
This document discusses benefit-sharing arrangements for low emissions development initiatives like REDD+ in Peru. It finds that:
1) Local governments, indigenous groups, and producer organizations have little representation in regional REDD+ discussions, despite their influence over land use.
2) Most projects only provide non-monetary benefits currently like training and technical support, as carbon markets have not materialized to provide monetary benefits.
3) Benefit-sharing arrangements vary between projects but commonly include capacity building, technical assistance, strengthening land tenure security, and organizational support for community groups.
Strengths
Sustainable development theory has several strengths, including helping build understanding between countries on interconnected environmental, social, and economic issues; involving local populations in managing their own resources; and recognizing that people should have opportunities to participate in projects affecting them through social and political rights. It also stimulates cross-sectoral debate, overcomes isolated sectoral approaches by integrating different sectors, and links to analyzing problems before developing solutions.

The document summarizes discussions from a forum held at McGill University on mining, economic development, and indigenous peoples. Participants discussed governance issues relating to the relationship between indigenous communities, extractive industries, and governments. Case studies were presented on Canada, Australia, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. The forum aimed to understand factors supporting or impeding effective decision-making and engagement between the three stakeholders, and explore approaches to improve governance capacity and outcomes for indigenous communities regarding mining projects on their traditional lands.
Perspective30 boissiere et al. eng
Local participation in REDD+ programs can provide benefits but also faces challenges. A study in Indonesia investigated the conditions needed for successful local measurement, reporting, and verification (PMRV) of carbon emissions. Four key conditions were identified: activities must be relevant to local people, build on existing technical capacity, utilize reporting structures informed by other systems, and incorporate local knowledge into verification. However, PMRV also requires broader international support and institutional capacity beyond what can be addressed at the local level alone.
A multilevel governance perspective on REDD+
This presentation was given at CIFOR's side event at the Bonn Climate Change Conference (SBSTA-44) on 18 May 2016. The side event included discussions on the practicalities of results-based finance for REDD+. CIFOR presented research findings on REDD+ performance at different scales, as well as the mechanisms of benefit-sharing, multi-level governance and land use incentives.
This presentation shows findings on REDD+ gathered over the years of the multilevel governance module of CIFOR.

Strategies for promoting sustainable development, resistance to the concept, some alternative approaches, examine some important current issues and areas of debate in relation to sustainable development.
Truth to Power: Fractured Labour Relations in South Africa
1. The document discusses fractured labour relations in South Africa and proposes partnering and third party facilitation as ways to improve relations.
2. It outlines a 7-step partnering methodology and defines partnering as a structured dialogue between parties towards a binding agreement of mutual interest.
3. Partnering requires skills like facilitation and conflict management and a third party can help manage the process using blended powers of soft skills and pressure.
Coordination in Emergency
This document discusses emergency coordination in Nigeria. It defines coordination as the intelligent sharing of information and discussion of issues among independent organizations with a common purpose. The key points are:
1) Nigeria's coordination system is called NEMANEMA and involves coordination at the federal, state, and local levels between government agencies, NGOs, and community groups.
2) Effective coordination requires clear communication, transparency, establishing mandates with the government, and recognizing different capacities and competencies.
3) Challenges to coordination include fragmentation, lack of understanding between groups, and competitiveness over funds. Trust, shared vision, and ground rules can help support effective collaboration.
Promising Practices in DRR from Bangladesh NARRI- ECHO Program
The project aimed to enhance community resilience to disasters through training local volunteers, developing preparedness plans, and strengthening coordination between organizations and the government. It had a budget of 3.2 million euros over 18 months to work with communities in 10 districts. The goals were to improve local response capacity, develop preparedness models, and support national disaster risk reduction policy.
UNESCO-IHE - Contribution to the discussion
The document discusses frameworks for balancing hardware and software approaches to sustainable agricultural water management. It proposes that capacity development requires a balanced set of knowledge management and capacity building interventions beyond just training. It also presents two frameworks - the 4B framework for facilitating cooperation among stakeholders and the WICKS framework for facilitating information sharing and communication in water projects.

1) The document discusses a session from Global Soil Week in Berlin that focused on doing transdisciplinary research to sustain soils and societies. Transdisciplinarity aims to include stakeholders outside of science to make research more practical and impactful.
2) A challenge of transdisciplinary research is finding a common language between participants from different fields. It requires building trust and respect among actors. Successful projects integrate knowledge from multiple parts of society.
3) The panel discussion highlighted that transdisciplinary approaches are effective for implementing innovations by including viewpoints from all stakeholders. Addressing real problems requires mixed consortia from different sectors.

As one of the most populated tropical forest countries in the world, Indonesia faces huge challenges in balancing development, livelihood improvement of its citizens and conservation of its natural assets. Many stakeholders are not involved in the process. An important step to improve the current situation is to facilitate a more collaborative land use planning and allocation process that benefits all parties.
Through a series of multiple stakeholder workshops over a two-year period, PPA allowed diverse actors and interests to jointly predict and anticipate trajectories of land use change.

Participatory approach in development.pptx
Community participation is about ensuring meaningful engagement with our communities.
For Watershed development promotion to work well, it must be carried out by and with people, not on or to people.
This means that at all stages of the Watershed development intervention, communities are involved with and retain ownership of any Watershed development action.
EmilyO'DonnellPresentation
This document summarizes a presentation about overcoming uncertainties and barriers to blue-green infrastructure. The presentation discusses research questions around how uncertainty prevents stakeholders from adopting blue-green solutions and what the main barriers are. It identifies reluctance to change practices and lack of knowledge or awareness as the biggest barriers in Newcastle. The presentation evaluates strategies to overcome barriers like improving education, demonstrating multiple benefits of projects, and improving partnership working. It concludes that reducing both biophysical uncertainties and socio-political barriers will be needed to increase adoption of blue-green infrastructure.
Participatory approach
This document discusses participatory communication and its role in development initiatives. It describes participatory communication as a dynamic process that enables people to be engaged in issues impacting their lives and empowering them to make decisions. The key aspects covered include preliminary situation assessments with stakeholders, designing communication strategies collaboratively, developing and pre-testing messages and materials, implementing and evaluating the initiatives, and ensuring participation at all stages of the process. Examples are provided of participatory methods used in different community projects like videos, photo novella, and community research systems that facilitate reflection and action.

Education sustainabledevelopment
Education for sustainable development has evolved from United Nations conferences that highlighted the importance of education in achieving sustainability. There is a difference between education about sustainable development, which is transmissive, and education for sustainable development, which is transformative and aims to promote sustainable behaviors and problem solving. Education for sustainable development seeks to integrate sustainability values across all aspects of learning and encourage system-level changes through interdisciplinary, participatory, and values-based approaches.

Public participation involves citizens in creating and managing the built and natural environments. Its main purposes are to involve citizens in planning decisions, improve plans and environments, and promote community. Traditional planning procedures should be reexamined to ensure participation achieves more than affirming designers' intentions. Effective participation determines goals, identifies stakeholders, selects methods to achieve objectives, implements activities, and evaluates results. A range of techniques like interviews, surveys, and workshops facilitate participation.
Participatory Policy Making
The document discusses several case studies of participatory policy-making initiatives:
1) Regulations.gov - A US government portal that allows public commenting on proposed rules. It has improved access and participation in the rulemaking process.
2) A partnership between community colleges and regional planning agencies that engaged "hard to reach" groups in transportation planning through student facilitators. This reduced costs while making participation more inclusive.
3) The Citizens' Initiative Review in Oregon, where citizen panels review ballot measures and provide impartial summaries to voters. Research found it was an effective way to inform voters.

Borchers, H. (2004) - Hardline Islamist Discourse in Indonesia-Sabili
This document summarizes a paper about hardline Islamist discourse in Indonesia. It discusses how the magazine Sabili promotes an exclusionary Islamist perspective that is gaining popularity. While still a minority view, Sabili's circulation has grown significantly. The document also provides historical context, noting Indonesia has a long history of both moderate and more radical Islamic movements. Radical groups in the past like Darul Islam challenged the secular government through armed rebellion.
Devnet Paper Ecotourism
This document summarizes ecotourism as a conservation strategy in Komodo National Park in Indonesia. Restrictions on resource use like fishing have impacted local livelihoods as alternatives have not been adequately provided. While ecotourism is promoted, it has largely failed to deliver economic benefits or meaningful involvement of local communities. Current approaches suggest the long-term goal is relocating residents, prioritizing conservation over socio-economic needs.
Ein Gelungener Kompromiss
German-language article (Suedostasien) on the conflict between conservation, ecotourism and local livelihoods
Jurassic Tragedy
Komodo National Park faces conflict between local residents and conservationists that threatens its status as a World Heritage Site. Around 3,300 people live within park boundaries and rely on the sea for their livelihood, but a project led by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has largely restricted resource use without providing alternatives. This has aggravated tensions, with two fishermen even shot dead by park patrol in 2002 for catching lobster. TNC claims success in improving coral reefs but has not meaningfully involved local communities. Their top-down approach risks more conflict if it continues without changes that give locals a say and sustainable livelihood options.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
