L’arrivée prochaine en production de ces dernières, avec pour conséquence d’importantes quantités d’huile de palme produites, fait peser d’importants enjeux sur le développement de cette filière.

Land is a critical asset and a vital source of livelihood for the majority of Ethiopians. Land, however, is becoming increasingly scarce for numerous reasons: rapid population growth, high population density in productive areas, degradation of agricultural lands, urbanization, and competing demands from different users, including investors. In a time of growing land scarcity, women’s subordinate socio-economic status heightens the importance of their access to, control of, and ability to benefit from land.

textabstractMainstream adherence to land titling as a strategy to address rural poverty has gained even more sway against the backdrop of the contemporary phenomenon of large-scale farmland acquisitions, known to some as “global land grabbing”. The orthodox narrative, embraced in toto by organisations such as the World Bank, is that formal property rights mitigate the risks of these land acquisitions and allow the poor to access the benefits of these acquisitions.

Trees and forests play important roles in reducing landslide risk through various mechanisms. Tree roots reinforce soil layers, anchor the soil to bedrock and form buttresses against soil movement. Trees also reduce landslide risk by lowering soil moisture levels – interception, evaporation and transpiration are the primary mechanisms. These mechanisms, and others, also make trees valuable in land reclamation following landslides.

This brief seeks to highlight the importance of developing REDD+ safeguards in Vietnam now. In addition, it is intended to identify key issues to be addressed by these safeguards, and to propose a way forward for the development of a nationally appropriate REDD+ safeguard process in Vietnam that responds to the seven safeguards defined by the UNFCCC; fits the country's particular circumstances; and includes the whole spectrum of REDD+ stakeholders in Vietnam.

Many countries in the region are developing or revising their national climate chage adaptation strategies and it is critical that forest use by communities be considered and included within these plans. At the same time, mitigation activities such as REDD+ have rarely explicitly considered adaptation or the need to develop adaptive capacity (FAO, 2012). This means that valuable opportunities are being missed to ‘couple up’ activities with a goal to achieving results in both areas.

Mặc dù có nhiều thay đổi tích cực trong khung chính sách về khai thác và lưu thông lâm sản, thực tế vẫn tồn tại nhiều rào cản cho việc hưởng lợi từ rừng của người dân. Để giúp người dân hưởng lợi và tham gia tích cực vào công tác quản lý bảo vệ rừng, Nhà nước cần tiếp tục đơn giản hóa chính sách khai thác và lưu thông lâm sản cho cộng đồng địa phương, chú ý tránh những chồng chéo trong chính sách, song song với việc cải cách thủ tục hành chính, nâng cao năng lực và xây dựng cơ chế hỗ trợ cho người dân.

Library ResourcePolicy Papers & BriefsJune, 2012Papua New Guinea
This paper examines the various ways in which migrant settlers have gained and maintained access to land in the informal urban settlements of Wewak, the provincial capital of East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG). Urban population growth in PNG and in Pacific Island states more generally is predicted to grow rapidly over the next two decades. Given the limited availability of formal housing for lower income people, it is likely that many will live in informal urban settlements on land owned by customary landowners.
