Panduan upaya konservasi berbasis kawasan yang efektif lainnya (OECM)
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in 2022, provides a framework for the effective implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) through four goals and 23 targets. Target 3 (known as the ‘30×30 target’) calls on Parties to conserve at least 30% of terrestrial, inland waters, and coastal and marine areas by 2030. These guidelines are designed to promote good practices relating to identifying, reporting, monitoring and strengthening OECMs. They are intended for use by a wide range of rightsholders and stakeholders to promote understanding of whether a site meets the CBD criteria for identifying an OECM, how to report OECM data at the national and global levels, and how to monitor and strengthen OECMs.

The report emphasises the importance of respecting the rights of and supporting smallholder and local oil production systems due to their positive socio-economic outcomes and contribution to food security. The report acknowledges that within each vegetable oil system, there are both good and bad actors and outcomes, and urges for a nuanced perspective. A systemic approach is recommended to effectively address various challenges. The intended audience of this report includes governments, traders, farmers associations, and processors, who all play a crucial role in the realisation of sustainable oil systems.
Management of bleached and severely damaged coral reefs
Provides guidance for local stakeholder, managers and policy makers on appropriate management approaches for coral reefs that have been severely degraded through bleaching or other causes. The widespread bleaching event in the western Indian Ocean in 1998-9 provides a general case study that will result in recommendations of value to reef managers in all regions
Building Climate Resilience of Urban Systems through Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in Latin America and the Caribbean
CityAdapt promotes climate resilience in urban areas through the implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for adaptation. CityAdapt strengthens the technical capacities of municipalities, policymakers, and citizens to analyze the impacts and vulnerabilities to climate change and identify appropriate nature-based solutions for urban planning. The project’s goal is to reduce the vulnerability of urban communities to current and future effects of climate change (flooding, drought, landslides, etc.) by mainstreaming urban Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in city planning. It is carrying out EbA activities in urban areas and surrounding watersheds of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico; Kingston, Jamaica; and San Salvador, El Salvador. These activities consist of the restoration of mangroves, forests and riparian areas, implementation of climate-smart agriculture, construction of water retention structures, establishment of community gardens, and installation of roof rainwater catchment systems, among others.
The Tahiry Honko project: Community-led mangrove management to protect coastal ecosystems and livelihoods in the Bay of Assassins, Southwest Madagascar. PATHFINDER AWARD 2021 WINNER
The project, co-managed by Blue Ventures and the Velondriake Association in the Velondriake MPA, aims to establish a sustainable, long-term mangrove payment for ecosystem services scheme which will reduce deforestation and degradation and restore mangroves in the Bay of Assassins (southwest Madagascar), avoiding emissions of over 1,300 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
Carbon credits generated by conserving and restoring mangrove ecosystems will make an important contribution to poverty alleviation and biodiversity conservation in the area by establishing a secure revenue flow offering communities the opportunity, where feasible, to construct schools, dig wells, provide community health services and other related services that will directly benefit community members of all ages.
The Velondriake Association is progressively increasing their presence in the field in order to monitor the implementation of this project with relevant communities, playing a key outreach role.
Large-scale Ecosystem-based Adaptation in the Gambia river basin: Developing a climate-resilient, natural resource-based economy
The consequences of climate change in the Gambia are stark and Gambians are extremely vulnerable. Increased temperatures, wind storms, coastal erosion, erratic rainfall, droughts, and floods have intensified, resulting in reduced agricultural and livestock production and unsustainable extraction of resources from forest ecosystems by rural households.
UNEP is supporting The Gambia’s government with Gambia’s largest adaptation project. Funded by the Green Climate Fund, the aim is of this large-scale Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) intervention is to build climate resilience over large areas and promote climate-resilient sustainable development. This is achieved firstly by restoring degraded ecosystems, including forests, mangroves and savannahs, and agricultural landscapes with climate-resilient plant species that provide goods for consumption or sale; and secondly, by facilitating the establishment of natural resource-based businesses and management committees to manage the Gambian natural resource base sustainably.
Strengthening national and county level policy and regulatory frameworks to support forest and landscape restoration in Kenya
The Restoration Initiative (TRI) in Kenya arid and semi-arid lands region has assisted in strengthening policies and regulatory frameworks in support of forest and landscape restoration (FLR) in Kenya. One key product has been the Forest and Landscape Restoration Implementation Action Plan (FOLAREP), a national FLR strategy that includes a roadmap and monitoring framework to bridge existing gaps in FLR policy. The project has also contributed to the integration of relevant FLR and national natural resource management policies at the county and local levels by contributing to the elaboration of various county policies, including County Environment Action Plans and a Policy Influence Plan of FOLAREP. Additionally, TRI has elaborated a national strategy and action plan for sustainable commercialization of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and services as well as Forest (Equitable Benefit Sharing) Regulations.
TRI is a GEF-funded project
Alat bantu di tingkat tapak untuk mengidentifikasi tindakan konservasi berbasis area yang efektif lainnya (OECM) : edisi pertama
Tindakan konservasi berbasis area yang efektif lainnya (OECM) adalah tapak di luar kawasan perlindungan yang memberikan pelestarian keanekaragaman hayati secara in situ yang efektif dan jangka panjang. Konservasi keanekaragaman hayati mungkin merupakan tujuan utama suatu tapak, target sekunder suatu tapak yang dikelola untuk tujuan lain, atau mungkin merupakan konsekuensi yang tidak disengaja dari cara tapak tersebut dikelola. OECM dapat diatur dan dikelola oleh pemerintah, entitas swasta, masyarakat adat, dan komunitas lokal, atau kombinasi diantaranya. Alat bantu ini memandu penilai menjalani tiga langkah untuk menerapkan delapan kriteria yang menentukan apakah suatu tapak memenuhi syarat sebagai OECM sebagaimana diatur dalam Konvensi Keanekaragaman Hayati. Untuk tapak yang saat ini tidak memenuhi semua kriteria, alat bantu ini berfungsi menyoroti bagian-bagian yang memerlukan informasi lebih lanjut atau perbaikan dalam tata kelola dan pengelolaan.
Trabajo decente en Soluciones Basadas en la Naturaleza 2022
Las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza (SbN) se consideran cada vez más como una forma de cumplir los objetivos de varios acuerdos globales y pueden ser fundamentales para una transición justa, si se implementa la combinación adecuada de políticas de transición justa. Pero actualmente no hay garantía de que las SbN generen trabajo decente. Este informe, desarrollado conjuntamente por la OIT, el PNUMA y la UICN, es el primero de una serie conjunta de informes bienales globales que tiene como objetivo llenar el conocimiento y las lagunas en la promoción sobre cómo las transiciones hacia una economía verde afectarán el mundo del trabajo, y sobre el papel que las SbN pueden y desempeñan en la creación de empleo, especialmente para las personas más pobres y vulnerables.
Le travail décent dans les solutions fondées sur la nature 2022
Les solutions fondées sur la nature (SFN) sont de plus en plus considérées comme un moyen d’atteindre les objectifs de plusieurs accords mondiaux et peuvent être essentielles à une transition juste – si la bonne combinaison de politiques de transition juste est mise en œuvre. Mais il n’existe actuellement aucune garantie que les SFN généreront du travail décent. Elaboré conjointement par l'OIT, le PNUE et l'UICN, ce rapport est le premier d'une série de rapports biennaux mondiaux conjoints visant à combler les lacunes en termes de connaissances et de sensibilisation sur la manière dont les transitions vers une économie verte affecteront le monde du travail, ainsi que sur le rôle que les SFN peuvent jouer et jouent effectivement dans la création d'emplois, en particulier pour les personnes les plus pauvres et les plus vulnérables.
