The scale of the challenge Deforestation and land-use change cause almost a third of GHG emissions as well as loss of biodiversity and soil degradation.
The worst degradation is happening in developing countries where rural communities are locked in negative spirals of poverty and loss of natural resources. It is crucial that global mechanisms, including carbon and other ecosystem services markets, recognise the central role communities need to play in tackling these problems. Whilst there is currently broad acceptance that forests should be part of international climate change frameworks, there is no guarantee that this will work for communities. Communities and climate change adaptation Many rural households are extremely vulnerable to changes that may result from climate change, such as crop failure from drought or damage from floods or fires. Livelihoods are only sustainable when they can cope with and recover from stresses and shock. Forest Trends - Our Mission. Forest Trends is a Washington D.C.
-based international non-profit organization that was created in 1998 by leaders from conservation organizations, forest products firms, research groups, multilateral development banks, private investment funds and philanthropic foundations. Our mission is four-fold: to expand the value of forests to society; to promote sustainable forest management and conservation by creating and capturing market values for ecosystem services; to support innovative projects and companies that are developing these markets; and to enhance the livelihoods of local communities living in and around those forests. We do this by analyzing strategic market and policy issues, catalyzing connections between forward looking producers, communities and investors, and developing new financial tools to help markets work for conservation and people.

Suite, hélas. Jacques Weber nous a quittés brutalement. Une sale écologie des bactéries a profité de l’état de vulnérabilité dans lequel le mettait la lutte contre une maladie. Vulnérabilité mais pas faiblesse et encore moins repli : nos derniers échanges à la MaR/S dataient de quelque heures. Rien n’y disait une échéance négative, même par rapport à la maladie, tout était dans l’activité, les échanges, les perspectives, l’amitié. Quito Seminar on Scaling up Biodiversity Finance.
