Traditional farmers in the Central and Eastern Indian Himalayas have observed significant climatic changes in recent years, reducing agricultural productivity. They have responded by innovating to increase resilience and yields, using traditional knowledge, biodiversity and external knowledge. This report explores key trends in livelihoods, food security, crop diversity and biocultural heritage across ten communities; the biocultural innovations developed in response to climatic and socioeconomic changes; and the social factors that have supported biocultural innovation.

The purpose of this Operational Framework is to support Country Directors, CPMs and ICOs to integrate NUS and Indigenous Peoples issues into the Loans and support the implementation of IFAD Nutrition Sensitive Agriculture Action Plan 2016-1823 and capacity building efforts in that direction.

The brochure compiles the initiatives of undertaken by countries, leaders, communities and businesses in response to the e existential threat of Land Degradation at all levels, from global to local. The concept of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) is an important part of the international response. Supported by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development under SDG target 15.3, LDN provides a unique framework for governments to measure degradation, design appropriate responses, and monitor progress.

The aim of this study was to find clinical relevance and use of TCAM in the management of diabetes and hypertension on the African continent. To achieve our aim Google scholar, web of science, Pub-med and Cochrane library electronic databases were searched for the period 2000-2017 using specific keywords related to the study.

The TEEBAgriFood ‘Scientific and Economic Foundations’ report addresses the core theoretical issues and controversies underpinning the evaluation of the nexus between the agri-food sector, biodiversity and ecosystem services and externalities including human health impacts from agriculture on a global scale. It argues the need for a 'systems thinking' approach, draws out issues related to health, nutrition, equity and livelihoods, presents a Framework for evaluation and describes how it can be applied, and identifies theories and pathways for transformational change.

TEEBAgriFood Framework developed in 2018 has become a foundational reference for true cost accounting in food systems. A number of “proof of concept” applications have been completed, and a growing and diverse community including business leaders, policymakers, researchers, farmers, and civil society have been seeking to strengthen and mainstream the application of TEEBAgriFood.

This case study shows multiple values of traditional tea forests have been thoroughly assessed and rediscovered through a process of multi-stakeholder learning.

This policy brief was prepared following the momentous UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP25) outcome in which Parties adopted a two-year workplan for the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples’ Platform (LCIPP). The adoption of the workplan recognizes the important role and contribution of indigenous peoples as partners and agents for change, equipped with traditional knowledge, customs, and solutions in mitigating and adapting to climate change. As Parties prepare for COP26 including the task of enhancing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), this policy brief highlights water-related insights and solutions emanating from indigenous communities in our global response to climate change.

The values assessment provides guidelines, criteria, tools and a road map to navigate the ways in which values play out in decisions, as well as the role values and valuation can have in achieving more sustainable pathways. It should be noted that the assessment does not provide quantifications.

To assist MGNREGS to amplify the climate resilience impacts of its work, IIED in partnership with Madhya Pradesh Council of Science & Technology (MPCST) co-developed the Climate Resilience Information System and Planning Tool for MGNREGS (CRISP-M). A top-down and bottom-up approach to help communities make climate-smart decisions and enable them to absorb the effects of climate risks, adapt to climate impacts, and transform their capacities to deal with growing climate impacts.
