FRIEND Fiji - Going to Scale with Smart Investments in Community Food Product...
- Fiji has experienced a health crisis with 70% of deaths from non-communicable diseases like heart disease and diabetes. This is attributed to a shift away from nutrient-rich local foods to processed foods.
- When the pandemic hit, many lost their jobs in tourism and had trouble feeding their families. FRIEND responded by providing food banks, seedlings, and training in food preservation and urban gardening to grow local foods.
- Partnerships were formed between organizations, communities, and the government to promote communal gardens, resilient crop varieties, and new food systems focused on local foods to improve nutrition and food security.
Organisational innovations that make community forestry prosperous
This is a presentation by Duncan MacQueen, principal researcher at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), about the importance of including smallholder producers and producer organisations in sustainable value chains to strengthen local resilience to external shocks.
Macqueen used the example of his work with the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) program at the FTA Science Conference 2020. The presentation focuses on the role of commercial organisation around accountable finance systems at four tiered levels: local producer groups, regional aggregators and processors, national advocacy federations, international alliances.

This document discusses the need for a bottom-up policy change approach in the agro-food sector of the Mediterranean to improve management and sustainability. It proposes establishing joint authority boards that include major stakeholders like farmers, private sector, civil society, and consumers to better integrate and harmonize decision making. Currently, governance is hierarchical and fragmented, marginalizing stakeholders and lacking long-term comprehensive policies. The approach aims to establish dialogue, shared understanding, and continuous participation between government and sector custodians/guardians to jointly manage resources and strategies through communication and learning over time.
Assessing the Impacts of the Federal Farm Bill Programs on Rural Communities
How do different farm bill programs impact rural community well being?
KEY CONCLUSIONS
• The most important farm bill programs are the rural development and nutrition programs because of their wide reach and direct impacts.
• Rural development programs make the biggest impact per dollar spent.
– Designed to benefit rural communities
– Provide the basic building blocks for rural development
– Loan guarantees are a particularly powerful tool since they leverage investment from other private and public lenders.
• Farm commodity programs are probably the least efficient policy mechanisms for promoting rural community well-being.
– Key exception = farm-dependent areas
• If rural community outcomes are a primary policy goal and assuming finite federal resources, experts in recommend shifting public investments away from direct payments and into targeted rural development programs.
– But politically difficult
• Efforts to promote broad rural community development, provide for nonfarm employment, and sustain rural amenities and quality of life may be more important to the well-being of most farm families than benefits from traditional farm programs

Living soils proposal final version
This document discusses moving away from chemical intensive agriculture towards nurturing soil ecologically. It finds that most farmers and civil society groups are aware that soil has life and of organic fertilizers, but barriers include a lack of biomass availability, a need for a clearer strategy and support for organic fertilization, and a lack of grassroots institutions. It proposes a solution and provides contact information for the project.
Greenpeace India Living Soils Project
Living Soils is an initiative to bring a perception change among the farmers, policy makers and their implementers towards biomass availability.
It is aimed at providing a comprehensive and integrated biomass-based eco-fertilisation solution to address the issue of soil health crisis and ensure a sustainable food production system.
The model includes biomass-based community enterprise and creating grassroots institutions, which will, in turn play a very significant role in enhancing the soil health status, facilitating the production of biomass based eco-fertilisers, increasing farmers’ income and securing rural livelihood.
Thus, the project intends to benefit the farmers and the entire village in multiple ways.

Establishing Partnerships To Plant Community Groves
In response to the growing need for access to fresh and nutritious food in cities, community organizations are training residents to grow and maintain their own fruit and nut trees. To help urban greening professionals improve the health and livability of neighborhoods by planting and caring for fruit and nut trees, Alliance for Community Trees launched the Community Groves℠ program in 2013. Community Groves℠ resources and best practices enable local organizations to address issues of nutrition, land use, and food access through tree planting and care. Fruit and nut trees can be your next step towards healthier, more sustainable, and more secure communities.

SAIRLA aims to support sustainable agricultural intensification in Africa in order to meet growing food demands while reducing environmental impacts and supporting poorer smallholders. SAIRLA will take a multi-stakeholder approach to generate and share knowledge about sustainable agricultural intensification practices so that decision makers can develop agricultural systems that enable women, youth, and poorer farmers to participate and benefit. By facilitating discussion between stakeholders and jointly assessing options, SAIRLA hopes to strengthen capacity for more inclusive and sustainable agricultural development in Africa.
Sustainability project
The document discusses various topics related to sustainability including climate change, stabilizing ecosystems, agriculture, feeding the world, land grabs, biofuels, and green technology. It describes several international agreements and organizations working on climate change like the UNFCCC. It also evaluates reports from the Stern Review, Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, and IAASTD that look at grassroots initiatives, ecosystem management, and the role of agriculture. Additionally, it discusses the global land grab phenomenon and issues with large-scale biofuel production and their impacts on small farmers. Green technology and its role in cities to address climate change is also covered.
Close devt gap
National strategies like improving education, job creation, and population control helped Singapore narrow its development gap. These strategies were generally effective for Singapore by creating jobs, improving skills, and optimizing population. However, overreliance on any strategy can be ineffective. International cooperation through organizations like the World Bank and agreements like the UNMDGs also aimed to reduce disparities with aid, expertise sharing, and agreements, but corruption and unsustainable resource use sometimes limited aid's effectiveness. Overall, a balanced set of national development strategies combined with responsible international cooperation can help close the gap, but sustainability is important.

Adaptation Finance Tracking
This document discusses adaptation finance. It begins by defining adaptation and adaptation finance, noting that adaptation finance is context specific, dynamic, and not solely about providing money. It then discusses accountability and transparency efforts through the Adaptation Finance Accountability Initiative. The document reviews estimates of needed adaptation finance amounts and whether current funding is on track. It analyzes adaptation finance flows in Nepal, Philippines, Uganda, and Zambia based on five principles of good delivery: transparency, ownership, responsiveness, participation, and equity. The analysis finds room for improvement in meeting all five principles. The document concludes by outlining next steps for in-depth tracking of adaptation finance in selected districts and funds in each country.

Pitch summary
Civil society organizations have played an important role in scaling up nutrition efforts in many countries. Through continued support, over 2500 civil society organizations across 39 countries have been engaged in nutrition efforts in 2016, up from under 500 in 2013. National civil society alliances have united community groups, coordinated advocacy and action on nutrition, enriched nutrition policies, ensured accountability, and supported multi-sectoral government efforts for nutrition. Modest funding for civil society alliances has achieved real impact, such as mobilizing additional national resources and cultivating high-profile nutrition champions. Civil society brings unique contributions as the "eyes and ears" implementing programs and sharing local expertise.

Civil Society Lessons on Influencing National Adaptation policies in Nepal
Civil Society Lessons on Influencing National Adaptation policies in Nepal Climate Action Network South Asia
This document discusses Nepal's national climate change policies and civil society's role in influencing their implementation. It outlines Nepal's key climate change policies from 2010-2013, including the National Adaptation Program of Action, the Climate Change Policy, and the Local Adaptation Plan of Action framework. It describes how civil society organizations have implemented on-the-ground adaptation actions, built capacity, and generated evidence to influence policymaking through interactions with policymakers. It calls for a focus on implementing existing adaptation plans, identifying agents for implementation, fostering regional knowledge exchange, prioritizing national priorities in international negotiations, and speeding up the climate change negotiation process.Pop rh adaptationsped (1)
This document discusses the relationship between population dynamics, climate change, and sustainable development. It notes that population growth, urbanization, migration, and age structure influence a population's vulnerability to climate change. Fertility rates and reproductive health also impact adaptive capacity. Integrating population trends into vulnerability assessments and adaptation programs can strengthen responses by accounting for factors like migration hotspots, community needs, and intersectoral relationships. Adaptation requires understanding how demographic shifts like urban agglomerations influence disaster risk and developing multisectoral teams to address interconnected challenges.

International frameworks for adaptation and the role of civil society. This document discusses:
1) Key adaptation milestones under the UNFCCC including National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPAs) and the transition to National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). NAPAs identified urgent needs for Least Developed Countries while NAPs take a longer term approach.
2) The NAP process outlined in new technical guidelines, including establishing work streams to develop assessments, institutional arrangements, and monitoring and evaluation.
3) The important role of civil society in the NAP process through providing local expertise, reflecting community needs, and promoting transparency and accountability. Civil society can help integrate gender, traditional knowledgeMulti-stakeholder Engagement in NAPs

IPCC AR5 – Science on Climate Change and future projections for South Asia
IPCC AR5 – Science on Climate Change and future projections for South AsiaClimate Action Network South Asia
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report regarding climate change projections for South Asia. It finds that human activity is the dominant cause of warming since the 1950s. If emissions continue at a high rate, the Arctic Ocean will likely be ice-free in summers by 2050. South Asia will experience increased temperatures, rainfall, and sea level rise by mid-century, posing challenges for coastal areas, agriculture, and infrastructure. Adaptation and mitigation efforts are needed to reduce impacts.UNEP Emissions Gap Report
The UNEP Emissions Gap Report analyzes the difference between countries' emission pledges and levels needed to meet climate targets. It finds an "emissions gap" of 8-12 gigatons of CO2 equivalent by 2020 to meet a 2 degree target, and more to hit 1.5 degrees. Current global emissions are estimated around 50 gigatons and projected to be 59 gigatons by 2020 without more action. To close the gap, the report recommends stricter accounting, increasing the scope and conditionality of pledges, and enhancing international cooperation on low-carbon technologies and practices.
Poster anlaysis
The document summarizes posters brought in for a class project about cult films. It notes similarities among the posters, including dark colors representing death and gloom, a focus on powerful men or innocent women highlighting main characters, and prominent eyes suggesting there is more to the films than meets the eye. A few posters differed from the others by having brighter colors that made the genre less clear or by featuring many people instead of one main character.

They also establish rules for CANSA governance, including decision-making processes, membership eligibility, and the role and election of a governing board. The by-laws are intended to facilitate decision-making among CANSA members from different countries and organizations.
Understanding UNFCCC Legal Principles
The document summarizes key principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including:
1) The climate system is a common concern requiring cooperation by all countries according to their differentiated responsibilities and capabilities. Developed countries should take the lead in addressing climate change.
2) Developing countries' special needs and vulnerabilities must be considered. Policies should allow sustainable development and eradicating poverty.
3) Responses to climate change should balance environmental protection, economic development, and equity between nations. The UNFCCC is guided by the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.

This document discusses alternatives to conventional agriculture that are more sustainable and community-focused. It proposes agroecology using multicropping instead of monocropping to preserve biodiversity. Small farmers struggle with the costs of organic certification, so the document suggests trust-based community certification instead. A community/farmer-led approach can identify best agroecological practices and collectively promote local food sovereignty. Strengthening links between producers and consumers through local marketing systems is recommended. Overall it argues for investing in education, identifying best practices, and building connections to strengthen smallholder food producers and diverse rural communities.
Findings of the sixth Global Environment Outlook
each slide in this presentation will have a learning objective presented. The purpose is to identify the main message that the presenter should be trying to convey with the slide and also to stress that we are trying to transfer knowledge, not simply raise awareness. In the transfer of knowledge there should retention of that knowledge so that eventually there may be action taken with that new knowledge. Awareness raising, on the other hand, may not lead to action being taken because the knowledge is not retained as readily.
For this slide, the presenter should be trying to convey appreciation their appreciation for the opportunity provided and also that the presentation provides a very high-level overview of the findings from the larger 700 page report, therefore some of the details may be lost.
Another key learning objective of the presentation is that, although GEO-6 presents quite a lot of negative information about the state of the environment, the overall thrust of the publication is optimistic and solutions-oriented, much like the cover of the publication, which tries to portray the sustainable world that we might all be living in by 2050.
Proposed speaking points
Thank you colleagues and I’d like to thank European Council for their generous invitation to review together the findings of the Global Environment Outlook.
I’d like to remind everyone that this is an overview of the main findings from the 700-page report and therefore we won’t really go into the finer details of the findings. Perhaps these can be covered in the question and answer session that will follow.
I’d like to first ask everyone to reflect on the cover of GEO-6. We have tried to provide a vision of what a sustainable world might look like in 2050 using this cover. Our hope is that readers might focus more on the positive and solutions-oriented messages in the report rather than the negative messages about the current state of our environment. We hope that you can each ‘imagine this world’ by looking at our cover, since this is the first step in achieving this world.

This document summarizes key findings from the sixth Global Environment Outlook report. It finds that while human development has increased, current environmental policies are insufficient to meet sustainability goals. Most environmental indicators, such as air pollution, biodiversity loss, water scarcity and land degradation, are projected to further deteriorate by 2030 and 2050 without transformative action. Transforming food and energy systems, reducing consumption and waste, and fully integrating environmental policies across all sectors are necessary to change this trajectory. Participatory approaches that engage local communities can help achieve the social and technical innovations required for systemic change towards a sustainable future.

This document summarizes a program to enhance coastal community resilience to climate change impacts like sea level rise in Krishna Delta, Andhra Pradesh. The program aims to: [1] Mobilize and build capacity of local communities on adaptation; [2] Restore mangroves and establish integrated mangrove-fishery farming systems to protect the coastline and generate livelihoods; [3] Demonstrate sustainable aquaculture models to adapt to climate effects. Key activities include community organization, training stakeholders on coastal protection and livelihoods, replanting 200 hectares of mangroves, and establishing two integrated mangrove-fishery farming sites. The program seeks to strengthen adaptation capacities and coastal resource management to benefit coastal livEquity and Differentiation
The Paris Agreement reflects principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities in setting national circumstances and commitments. It acknowledges developing countries' sustainable development needs and historic contributions less to climate change. While it does not use the terms Annex 1 and non-Annex 1, differentiation is embodied throughout, such as in Article 13 which notes financial and other support responsibilities between developed and developing parties.
Paris Agreement
India played a key role in framing the Paris Agreement, which sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 to 2030. The agreement requires countries to submit new climate action plans every 5 years, with progress reviews in 2023 and every 5 years thereafter. It will take effect once 55 countries responsible for at least 55% of global emissions have ratified it, and establishes provisions for increasing transparency around climate actions and support.
Climate Finance from COP21
This document summarizes key aspects of climate finance from COP21. It notes that developed countries are expected to continue leading in climate finance mobilization, but encourages other countries to contribute voluntarily. The $100 billion per year goal is not mandatory and will only be revised once before 2025. Public funds will play a significant role in what counts as climate finance. Adaptation finance is emphasized but the language is weak, focusing on grants over loans from public sources. Loss and damage will involve risk insurance cooperation. A new technological framework was agreed to facilitate technology transfer and finance support.
Making Sustainability the Next Metric: The SDGs and Climate Change
The SDGs and Climate Change
The SDGs were adopted in 2015 after a multi-year process and built upon the MDGs. Goal 13 focuses on climate change and includes targets around adaptation, mainstreaming climate measures into policies, education and awareness, financing, and capacity building. There are synergies between climate change and many other goals around issues like food security, resilient agriculture, water, and energy. However, there are also some discords, such as economic goals not being truly transformative regarding limits to growth. Full implementation of climate and sustainability agendas requires integrating them into development planning, financing from multiple sources, identifying technology needs, monitoring systems, and enabling governance and partnerships.
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Avenues for Adaptation
Biodiversity and climate change - Avenues for adaptations by Sarath Ekanayake discusses how biodiversity in Sri Lanka provides essential services but is threatened by climate change, and outlines strategies to help biodiversity adapt. Sri Lanka has a great diversity of ecosystems and species, and biodiversity underpins the country's economy, food/water security, and tourism. However, climate change is causing issues like increased flooding and drought that impact forests, agriculture, and human-wildlife conflict. The document recommends identifying vulnerable biodiversity, reducing non-climate pressures, and enhancing resilient landscapes through actions like conserving forests, controlling fires, and accommodating wildlife in urban areas to help biodiversity adapt to climate change impacts.
Adapting to Climate Change
1) Adaptation to climate change involves managing risks through reducing vulnerability. Risks can be systemic like impacts on energy, agriculture, and sea level rise, or idiosyncratic. Vulnerability depends on exposure and ability to manage risks.
2) Changing behaviors to adapt requires both awareness of impacts and willingness to contribute to social goals. Factors like social norms, costs, and preferences influence willingness.
3) Civil society has an important role in leading adaptation by advising on plans and overseeing implementation. The Joint Principles for Adaptation provide guidelines for inclusive planning, accountability, flexibility, and support for vulnerable groups.
Climate Change - priorities and Concerns for Sri Lanka
This document discusses climate change priorities and concerns for Sri Lanka. It notes that Sri Lanka has high biodiversity, exceeding many larger countries in Asia. Climate change poses a major challenge to food security in Asia, likely reducing agricultural potential the most in the region. International agreements recognize the importance of sustainable agriculture and investment to achieve food security and nutrition goals. The UNFCCC climate conference aims to achieve an international agreement to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius and highlight agriculture's role in climate change resilience and reducing greenhouse gases.
Climate Change: Priorities and Concerns for Sri Lanka
Climate Change: Priorities and Concerns for Sri Lanka discusses Sri Lanka's climate change priorities and concerns. Global emissions must be reduced to 42 GtCO2e by 2100 to limit warming to 2°C, but current country commitments under the INDCs will only reduce emissions by 12-14 GtCO2e, leaving a gap. As a result, global average temperature increase by 2100 is estimated to be 3-3.5°C without further commitments. Sri Lanka's long term power generation plan aims to increase renewable energy and reduce dependence on oil and coal.
