unff 10: knowfor
DESCRIPTION
Presentation held during the 10th session of the UN Forum on ForestsTRANSCRIPT
Poverty reduction, biodiversity conservation and climate protection through improved management of forests
Equipping of policymakers and practitioners in developing countries with strategic knowledge, comparable evidence, reliable tools and systematic analysis on forests and climate
Recognition that many forest policies and projects are poorly underpinned by science, evidence and knowledge
KNOW-FOR Improving the way knowledge on forests
is understood, communicated and used internationally
CIFOR, IUCN and PROFOR have been working jointly on a number of areas
DFID saw a great opportunity to emphasise the value added of globally important organisations working together on knowledge uptake
Capitalizes on respective, complementary strengths and networks of partners:- CIFOR, IUCN, PROFOR
KNOW-FOR Improving the way knowledge on forests
is understood, communicated and used internationally
KNOW-FOR DeliverablesThis programme will develop:
Application of knowledge on how forests contribute to economic development, poverty reduction and climate change
Systematic, rigorous and comparable evidence of what works and what does not in forestry science and practice, which rapidly reaches those who need it internationally and on the frontline
Improved design and implementation of broader national policies and programmes in 40 countries
Techniques and practices for forest restoration (the “+” in REDD +) creating healthy landscapes in up to15 countries
A broad suite of toolkits, analyses and knowledge products that are mainstreamed into in 30 countries

KNOW-FOR: IUCN investments in support of the Bonn Challenge
Key deliverables1. Production and uptake of new knowledge and analysis on key economic, social and biophysical opportunities for and constraints to landscape restoration 2. Development and testing of robust and easy-to-use tools to assist local, national and regional actors to identify, negotiate, implement, and monitor locally suited landscape restoration strategies3. Strengthening capacity for scaling up landscape restoration efforts and investment
Thematic focus1. Restoration as a vehicle for carbon-intensive land stewardship2. Land-use dynamics as a contribution to LR (farm fallow) 3. Adaptation/mitigation synergies through landscape restoration 4. Links between water, water flows and LR, including implications for urban areas5. Governance, institutional, monitoring arrangements for LR6. Models for private and public sector investment in LR
KNOW-FOR: IUCN INVESTMENTS
• Knowledge package on all 6 thematic areas• National restoration (including economic,
carbon) assessments • Assessment of revenue streams from
restored landscapes • Decision-support framework to improve
resilience of LR • Best practice guidance for negotiating
outcomes and equitable trade-offs at landscape scale
• Peer review and early action support for national and stakeholder commitments to Bonn Challenge
• Systematic pooling and dissemination of analysis, good practice and policy-relevant lessons: exchanges and online learning
A common framework for knowledge uptake and use
Highlighting synergies between CIFOR, IUCN and PROFOR
