This document summarizes recent assessments from IFPRI and AgMIP on climate change and agriculture. It finds that policies addressing the interface between pastureland, livestock, and forests are key to reducing emissions in Colombia. Considering major crops, climate-smart agriculture could achieve around 10% of the 1 Gt CO2e emissions reduction goal. It also stresses the need for system-level thinking that considers interactions between agriculture and carbon-rich environments, including agroforestry systems. Meeting climate goals will require policy coherence and multisectoral plans across ministries, as well as synergistic investments beyond the agriculture sector. The tools developed can help identify costs, returns, threats and objectives to inform decision-making under different climate scenarios.

It also seeks to build capacity and develop plans to scale up promising climate-smart agriculture strategies nationally.
This document discusses opportunities for aligning economic recovery efforts from the COVID-19 pandemic with long-term climate goals. It notes that while emissions temporarily declined during widespread lockdowns, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations continue to rise rapidly. It argues that by focusing recovery packages on priorities like climate, jobs, inequality and quality of life, governments can avoid locking in higher emissions and use their spending to accelerate climate action in a way that provides multiple benefits. Specifically, it recommends integrating climate goals into public spending, taxation, investment and infrastructure projects, as well as embracing systemic changes like low-carbon transportation and retrofitting buildings to both stimulate economies and put them on a more sustainable path.
Carrots and sticks in REDD+ implementation: Implications for social safeguardsCIFOR-ICRAF
This document summarizes a study on the social impacts of REDD+ initiatives in six countries. The study compared 150 villages and 4,000 households exposed to REDD+ interventions to control groups. Interventions included regulations, incentives, or both. Households exposed to regulations alone reported decreased tenure security and well-being over time, while adding incentives helped alleviate negative effects. In Brazil, households clearing more forest were initially subjected to regulations alone, but cleared less forest after incentives were added. The study concludes that regulations can be effective but also negatively impact well-being, while incentives help address this issue. Trade-offs exist between carbon and social goals in REDD+ implementation.

1. Developing a
Sustainable Future
PBS Services is committed to helping Alabama businesses and
government agencies manage waste streams efficiently and profitably.
2. What is
Sustainability
The most widely accepted
definition of sustainability
emerged out of the UN’s
World Commission on
Environment and
Development in 1987.
“Sustainable
development is
development that
meets the needs
of the present
without
compromising
the ability of
future
generations to
meet their own
needs."
3. Working towards a sustainable,
productive, and profitable future.
Three Great Reasons to Embrace Sustainability in
the Government Sector:
1. Rising landfill prices
2. Shrinking landfill capacity
3. Diminishing municipal and
government budgets
4. Changing
the Waste
Management
Paradigm
New Waste
Management Paradigm:
Waste Prevention (Reduce)
Reuse
Recycle
Conversion/Compost
Transformation/Waste-to-Energy
Landfill
By turning the traditional
waste hierarchy on its
head, municipalities and
the government sector
can both reduce costs
and minimize waste.
5. In its 2011 report, The Alabama Department of Environmental
Management (ADEM) determined that Alabama spent more
than $25 million to dispose of over $193 million worth of
recyclable materials into landfills.
The Alabama Environmental Council reported that the total
average daily solid waste generated by Alabamians is 9.9
pounds per person, compared with the national
average of 4.5 pounds.

Recycling Economy
6. Your Roadmap
to Minimizing
Municipal &
Government
Waste
Minimize municipal and
government waste by
including a combination
of activities that identify
ways to keep materials
out of the waste stream
in the first place.
Manage and minimize
materials that are
currently going to
landfills.
7. Key Strategy Stops Along
Sustainability Road
1. Analyze: Start by assessing and analyzing your existing waste
streams. This may include working with your waste management
company to track waste volume and contents
2. Make a plan: Work to develop a program that meets your existing
waste management needs while striving to reduce waste. Using
SMART goals (strategic, measurable, attainable, realistic and
time-based), revise your preliminary plan to reflect the input of your
stakeholders.
3. Seek buy-in: Strive to engage, educate, and communicate
with your key stakeholders and community members to
help ensure your plan’s success.
8. Key Strategy Stops Along
Sustainability Road
4. Start with reduce and reuse: Encourage your employees and
personnel to minimize use (encourage the use of email over paper
memos, double-side all copies, promote the concept of a paperless
office, etc...) and to recycle whenever possible.
5. Maximize recycling: For materials that can’t be reused, look to
recycling. Everything from paper to plastic to food waste and cooking
oil can be recycled. Used furniture can be donated to local charities.
6. Assess success: Be sure to include measurement as part of your
strategy. Use benchmarking, goal-setting, and monitor your
bottom-line costs to determine the success of your plan.
