  1. Focal Area and Cross Cutting Strategies – Land Degradation GEF Expanded Constituency Workshop July 19 – 21, 2011 Monrovia, Liberia

  2. Land Degradation Focal Area Strategy(Combating Desertification and Deforestation)

  3. GEF-5 Priorities • Expand LD portfolio - 144 eligible countries through inclusion of LD into STAR • Address three main drivers of ecosystem degradation: • land use change • un-sustainable natural resources management and consumption, and • climate change. • Improve the enabling framework • Support to UNCCD (implementation of 10-year strategy) • Increase focus on production systems - agriculture rangelands, and forest landscapes

  4. Land Degradation Objective 1 Objective 1: Maintain or improve flows of agro-ecosystem services to sustain livelihoods of local communities. • Enhanced enabling environment within the agricultural sector • Improved agriculture management and sustainable flow of services in agro-ecosystems • Increased investments in SLM

  5. Land Degradation Objective 2 • Objective 2: Generate sustainable flows of forest ecosystem services in arid, semi-arid and sub-humid zones, including sustaining livelihoods of forest-dependent people • Enhanced enabling environment within the forest sector in drylands dominated countries • Improved forest management and sustained flows of forest ecosystem services in drylands • Increased investments in SFM in dryland forest ecosystems

  6. Land Degradation Objective 3 Objective 3: Reduce pressures on natural resources from competing land uses in the wider landscape • Enhanced cross-sector enabling environment for integrated landscape management • Integrated landscape management practices adopted by local communities • Increased investments in integrated landscape management

  7. Land Degradation Objective 4 Objective 4: Increase capacity to apply adaptive management tools in SLM • Results-monitoring of UNCCD action programs • Mainstreaming synergies and best practices for Natural Resource Management • Development of guidelines and tools for assessing ecosystem stability, resilience and maintenance of regulating services

  8. Global Environmental Benefits • Improved provision of agro-ecosystem and forest ecosystem goods and services. • Reduced GHG emissions from agriculture, deforestation and forest degradation and increased carbon sequestration. • Reduced vulnerability of agro-ecosystem and forest ecosystems to climate change and other human-induced impacts.

  9. National Socio-economicBenefits • Sustained livelihoods for people dependent on the use and management of natural resources (land, water, and biodiversity). • Reduced vulnerability to impacts of CC of people dependent on the use and management of natural resources in agricultural and forest ecosystems. Millennium Development Goals
