The briefing identifies gaps within the production of forest-risk commodities in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. It proposes a stakeholder engagement plan to promote a sustainability approach to managing coffee production.
Over the past decade, the EU REDD Facility has worked with many partners across Africa, Asia and Latin America to understand the governance challenges driving deforestation and to develop pragmatic approaches and solutions to land-use governance and sustainable development. As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we are reflecting on lessons learnt and sharing our insights.
Les forêts et les arbres sont essentiels tant pour les populations que pour la planète. Ils contribuent aux moyens de subsistance, fournissent de l’air pur et de l’eau propre, préservent la biodiversité et offrent des solutions face aux changements climatiques. Et pourtant, les forêts disparaissent à un rythme alarmant : 2017 et 2018 sont respectivement la deuxième et la quatrième années où le recul du couvert forestier tropical a été le plus marqué depuis que les scientifiques ont commencé à recueillir ces données, en 2001.
Forests and trees make vital contributions to both people and the planet. They bolster livelihoods, provide clean air and water, conserve biodiversity and respond to climate change. However, the world’s forests are disappearing at an alarming pace. The year 2017 was the second worst on record for tropical tree cover loss, and 2018 the fourth-highest annual loss since record-keeping began in 2001.
The EU imports and consumes more than a third of internationally traded crops and livestock products associated with deforestation in tropical countries. This briefing presents some approaches and initiatives led by the EU REDD Facility to tackle deforestation in tropical countries associated with agricultural commodity production.
This policy brief shares lessons learnt from FLEGT, REDD+ and zero-deforestation supply chain initiatives to help overcome some of the governance challenges hindering effective restoration of deforested or degraded land in tropical forest countries.
Learn about the importance of addressing governance challenges in public and private sector zero-deforestation initiatives. This paper explores lessons from Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) under the EU FLEGT Action Plan.
This policy brief by CERDA and the EU REDD Facility outlines a pilot intervention that explores an innovative way to implement a policy of forest land allocation and forest allocation in upland regions in Vietnam. The approach aims to achieve sustainable forest management and poverty alleviation outcomes.
Cette note de la Facilité REDD de l’UE propose des étapes pour faciliter une meilleure mise en œuvre des engagements en faveur de produits sans déforestation, pour contribuer aux débats actuels pour promouvoir la production et le commerce de produits de base responsables.
This brief by the EU REDD Facility and Institut Penelitian Inovasi Bumi (INOBU) discusses the rationale for a jurisdictional monitoring system that assesses sustainable development performance in West Papua, Indonesia. It describes the collaborative process of developing its performance indicators.
The EU REDD Facility supports countries in improving land-use governance as part of their efforts to slow, halt and reverse deforestation. It also supports the overall EU effort to reduce its contribution to deforestation in developing countries. The Facility focuses on countries that are engaged in REDD+, an international mechanism that incentivises developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their forest and land-use sectors. The Facility is hosted by the European Forest Institute and was established in 2010.
