Evidence for Action: Aligning the Climate and SDG Agendas
Published on 16 Jul 2021
The climate emergency and the Sustainable Development Goals are two major issues facing the world today. Both require enormous investments in new technology and infrastructure, together with transformative reforms in governance and management. With shrinking resources in the wake of COVID-19, can these two massive efforts be coordinated and aligned, or must they compete for scarce resources?
The academic and international development community is invited to provide evidence on policies and measures that can achieve the climate goals and SDFs at the same time. This symposium will provide input to the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).

Share information and ideas regarding new activities promoting ecosystems restoration and conservation
Identify key stakeholders/partners that adhere to the restoration and conservation of ecosystems.
Landscape Partnership Asia is kicking off the first webinar in its series on how stakeholders are addressing dryland degradation across Asia. Climate change and human activities are exacerbating desertification, and this trend is spreading around the world. Asia is home to the largest area of dryland ecosystems, increasing the region and its population’s vulnerability to land degradation.
This series is part of the Asian Drylands Knowledge Hub, bringing together diverse individuals and groups to exchange lessons learned from successful restoration models.
Landscape Partnership Asia is the largest initiative aiming to restore Asian drylands, founded by Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO), Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and World Agroforestry (ICRAF), and the Global EverGreening Alliance (Alliance).
We will introduce the webinar event to participants, explaining the objectives and purpose of the series in relation to its contribution to LPA and the Asian Drylands Knowledge Hub.

Researchers summarize current views on aspirations and their relevance for development research, projects, and approaches. Using several examples, mostly from Africa, they outline how the combination of the different theoretical perspectives, case studies and regional backgrounds provides deeper insights about the role of aspirations in shaping rural areas. The distinct entry points of the ‘bottom up’ local aspirations for future lives, the ‘top down’ aspirations as visions for change and the process of negotiating between these provide novel insights into directions for development action as well as for future research in the field of aspirations for development.
The Round table discussion
Building on the results and the breadth of the contributions within the Special Issue speakers will highlight research directions and gaps, then proceed to start a discussion on what development stakeholders can learn for their daily activities and project design.
Speakers will outline the difference that emerges within common approaches to looking at aspirations which we would argue are different concepts – i.e., aspirations and ambitions. The theoretical differentiation will be followed by a brief outline of various approaches on measuring those and lead into a group discussion on the implications of the differences for future research strategies. The second part of the roundtable will then focus on practical implications of the Special Issue for development planning and design. Speakers will outline the bottom-up view on aspirations as well as the top-down view in order to kick-start a group discussion on what we can learn from the different view and how these could be harmonized.

Policies for Agroecology: a virtual event
Published on 30 Jun 2021
Agroecology, a science, a set of practices and a cultural movement that blends principles of ecology and farming, has been identified as one of the pathways for the future of global food systems.
This event, organized by the Transformative Partnership Platform (TPP) on Agroecology and its partners, will discuss policies for transitions to agroecological food systems. The latest draft of “Agroecologically-conducive policies: a review of advances and remaining challenges” will be presented for discussion. Read the executive summary here.
Global Dialogue on the role of food and agriculture in the Post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework
Published on 30 Jun 2021
This event, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, is intended to raise awareness of current international policy processes on biodiversity and position the agriculture sector as key contributors to the sustainable management and custodian of biodiversity.
Discussions of the dialogue will feed into the development of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and the 15th Session of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity scheduled for October 2021 in Kunming, China.

Pre-Summit of the UN Food Systems Summit
Published on 30 Jun 2021
The Pre-Summit of the UN Food Systems Summit will set the stage for global event scheduled for September 2021. Scientists from CIFOR-ICRAF are among actors from around the world who will come together to leverage the power of food systems to deliver progress on all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The UN Pre-Summit will deliver the latest evidence-based and scientific approaches to food systems transformation from around the world, launch a set of new commitments through coalitions of action and mobilize new financing and partnerships.
Knowledge exchange plays a vital role in establishing strong links between researchers and research users such as policymakers, governments, non-governmental organisations, media, and local communities to share ideas, experiences, and best practices.
CIFOR-ICRAF’s research on wetlands has had important impacts on policy and science in recent years. As part of our ongoing outreach and engagement efforts, we regularly provide insights and perspectives to the study of wetlands, including mangroves, peatlands, and seagrass meadows, in two-way exchanges with partners and stakeholders.
We therefore cordially invite you to participate in the Wetlands Knowledge Exchange, a digital event hosted by CIFOR-ICRAF to provide updates, perspectives, and recent scientific developments on wetlands research with leading CIFOR-ICRAF scientists. Our aim is to help promote the value of these critical ecosystems in efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Alongside initiatives like the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, CIFOR-ICRAF will present a range of innovative research and solutions to help ensure sustainable management and protection of these vital resources.
Why Wetlands?
Tropical wetlands are complex, fragile ecosystems. They store more carbon than tropical forests and provide a range services from protecting biodiversity to providing fresh water. CIFOR-ICRAF is a leader in putting these little-known ecosystems on the global policy map.
From Asia to Latin American and Africa, CIFOR-ICRAF is investigating how wetlands can help with climate mitigation and adaptation and better contribute to the many ecosystem services including ecotourism, providing habitats for rare and endangered species, functioning as a source of nutrients and energy and providing livelihoods for local communities.
