As the world races to mitigate global
warming, agricultural expansion generally characterized by the practice
of slash and burn has been identified as the topmost driver of
deforestation that leads to carbon emission in the world’s largest
carbon sink. In a new report titled Congo Basin Forests – State of the
Forests 2021 produced by the Central Africa Forest Observatory (OFAC),
experts say population growth puts fresh pressure on the forests of
Central Africa and consequently reduce carbon stock as thousands of
arrival of agrarian households into forest areas leads to clearing to
establish farmlands. The experts also listed logging, territorial
development, land use, governance and need for energy as other factors
driving deforestation.

In order to improve the efficiency of
the management of Protected Areas, the DRC, with the involvement of its
partners, had invested in the BIOPAMA project in order to contribute to
the development of the IMET tool "Integrated Management Effectiveness
Tool". The use of the IMET tool in 18 DRC Protected Areas, for an
overall frequency of 33 assessments, contributed to the diagnosis of
management problems and to generate structured information to guide
decision making for the change of the conservation status.

For developing countries who are part
of the UN’s REDD+ scheme (to reduce emissions from deforestation and
forest degradation, and foster conservation, sustainable management of
forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks), establishing baseline
forest reference emission levels (FREL) is essential obligation to
track progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. FREL covers
emissions from deforestation and – in some countries – from forest
degradation and peat decomposition. In countries like Indonesia, Peru,
the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the Republic of Congo (RoC),
that have large amounts of standing forest – and which can contribute
significantly to a country’s emissions due to land-use change – these
reference levels are particularly critical.

A growing body of research shows that
even forests located far away from urban centers provide tremendous
benefits in regulating the global climate, water and biodiversity
systems that are essential to people’s health and quality of life. New
research led by WRI and Pilot Projects through the Cities4Forests
initiative synthesizes the benefits that forests at three scales —
inner, nearby and faraway — offer cities. The report provides the
scientific imperative for city-led policies, incentives and investments
that help conserve, restore and sustainably manage forests at each of
these scales. The article outlines the many benefits across four
categories that forests provide to cities from the report.

Nature is a vital resource, necessary
for our health, livelihoods and well-being. It also accounts for $44
trillion of economic value generation. In addition, nature-based
solutions can provide more than one third of the mitigation needed by
2030 to keep climate goals in reach. Nature tech will be vital in
helping facilitate and accelerate these solutions, making them valuable
tools in tackling climate change.

For decades, Lake Chad has remained a
mainstay for the Basin’s 45-50 million people, most of whom are
fishermen, farmers, herders, and petty traders who depend on the Lake
for their livelihoods and economic well-being. However, over the years,
the combined effects of the Lake’s shrinking and variability due to
climate change has resulted in the increasing loss of livelihood for the
region.

Logging affects many of the world's
tropical forests, and such forests are often considered degraded because
they have lost vegetation structure, biomass and carbon stocks. But
there has rarely been analysis of whether the ecological health and
functionality of these ecosystems are similarly degraded. A new study by
researchers at the University of Oxford, finds that logged rainforests
are treasure-troves of healthy ecological function and should not be
written off for oil palm plantations. This article gives some insights
into the newly published paper.

In December 2022, the European Union
(EU) finally agreed on the text of its long-awaited Regulation on
deforestation-free products (EUDR). For the first time companies selling
certain products on the EU market will be punished if they are found to
have contributed towards deforestation. This was the final stage in a
long and often tortuous journey, in which forests were thrust
centre-stage of EU policymaking. 2023 will be another crucial year for
the EU and forests, especially since it will be followed by the EU’s
‘cooling off’ period, when no new policies are initiated, in the run-up
to the 2024 European elections.

The commitment was made during the
High-Level Conference on the Lake Chad Region held in Niamey from 23 –
24 January 2023. The two-day Conference brought together over 30
countries, international organisations, and more than 100 civil society
organisations in the capital of Niger. The Conference aimed to ensure
that the people of this hard-hit region have humanitarian assistance and
protection and foster solutions for durable solutions, including the
voluntary return, reintegration, and resettlement of returnees and
displaced persons (refugees band internally displaced persons) in a
dignified manner.

Should the international community pay
tropical forest countries for services to humanity? The countries
concerned frequently request such payments to compensate for their loss
of revenue as a result of being unable to convert forest areas to
farmland and mining operations. The authors of the latest IDDRI Issue
Brief are calling for "payments for environmental services" schemes to
be included in a broader co-investment for sustainable development
approach.

Drought is one of nature's costliest
disasters – across the globe, more frequent and prolonged droughts are
up nearly by a third since 2000. No country or region is immune to their
impacts, which cost the global economy billions of dollars each year
and range from the loss of life, livelihoods and biodiversity to water
and food insecurity, disruption in the energy, transportation and
tourism sectors, as well as forced migration, displacement and conflicts
over scarce resources.

Gracing every continent of the Earth,
wetlands are essential to the planet’s health, often compared to its
vital organs, acting as arteries that carry water and as kidneys that
filter harmful substances. Wetlands serve as the watchful sentinels of
our wellbeing: they form protective barriers against tsunamis and sponge
up the excess rainfall to reduce flood surges.

The actors of the forestry and wood
sector now have at their disposal six video capsules on the professions
of sustainable forest management in the Congo Basin. The forestry-wood
sector does not generally attract vocations in the Congo basin region.
However, there is a real need for skills at all levels of qualification,
to meet the growing demand for quality finished wood products, as well
as the desire of countries to develop further local processing.

While women have made immense advances
in scientific fields in recent years, the numbers still don’t tell an
equitable story. Across the world, they’re typically given smaller
research grants than their male colleagues, and researchers tend to have
shorter, less well-paid careers; their work is underrepresented in
high-profile journals and they are often passed over for promotion. They
represent about a third of all researchers – and only 12% of members of
national science academies.

Chad is one of the most vulnerable
countries in the world to the effects of climate change. Because its
economy is based mainly on the primary sector, Chad’s reliance on
natural resources makes it particularly vulnerable to extreme weather
events. Take for example the case of Lake Chad, where the water volume
has decreased by 90% since the 1960s due to climate change and
over-exploitation. Chad’s vulnerability to climate change is further
exacerbated by the country’s relatively low level of preparedness when
it comes to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.

The Climate Change Action Plan
2021–2025 aims to advance the climate change aspects of the WBG’s Green,
Resilient, and Inclusive Development (GRID) approach, which pursues
poverty eradication and shared prosperity with a sustainability lens. In
the Action Plan, we will support countries and private sector clients
to maximize the impact of climate finance, aiming for measurable
improvements in adaptation and resilience and measurable reductions in
GHG emissions. The Action Plan also considers the vital importance of
natural capital, biodiversity, and ecosystems services and will increase
support for nature-based solutions, given their importance for both
mitigation and adaptation. As part of our effort to drive climate
action, the WBG has a long-standing record of participating in key
partnerships and high-level forums aimed at enhancing global efforts to
address climate change.

What the Future Has in Store: A New
Paradigm for Water Storage is an urgent appeal to practitioners at every
level, both public and private, and across sectors, to come together to
champion integrated water storage solutions—natural, built, and
hybrid—to meet a range of human, economic, and environmental needs for
the twenty-first century. Closing storage gaps will require a spectrum
of economic sectors and stakeholders to develop and drive multi‐sectoral
solutions. The proposed integrated water storage planning framework is
grounded in sustainable development and climate resilience, with the
potential to pay dividends for people, economies, and environments for
generations.

Forest Trends was founded with the
mission of putting an economic engine behind nature conservation – the
idea being that our economy, our society, and our wellbeing all depend
in very real and material ways on healthy natural ecosystems. That
idea’s time has come. The world is looking to “nature-based solutions”
to combat climate change, mitigate water risks, prevent pandemics,
protect biodiversity, support food insecurity, and so on. Forest Trends
is fielding many new opportunities at a totally different scale than in
the past, and at a much more systemic level.

23 January 2023, Fern is launching a
report which outlines options for partnerships to accompany the new EU
Regulation on deforestation-free products. Partnerships will be an
essential part of maximising the Regulation’s impact in decreasing
deforestation on the ground. They will also help mitigate risks linked
to the Regulation: that it would cause “leakage” of unsustainable
production to other consumer markets, or that smallholders would bear
the cost of implementation.
