1 Role of Climate Smart Agriculture in achieving Land Degradation Neutrality in Sri Lanka Champika S Kariyawasam
2 Land Degradation Neutrality- Global Developments UN Conference on Sustainable Development Rio+20 We recognize the need for urgent action to reverse land degradation. In view of this we will strive to achieve a land degradation neutral world in the context of sustainable development (Rio+20 Outcome Document, The Future We Want ) The United Nations General Assembly Adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - 17 SDGs targets. Goal 15 Life on Land to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss Target 15.3 Land Degradation Neutrality By 2030, combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world
3 2015 COP 12 of the UNCCD in Ankara, Turkey Defined LDN : State whereby the amount and quality of land resources necessary to support ecosystem functions and services and enhance food security remain stable or increase within specified temporal and spatial scales. Invited all country Parties to formulate voluntary national targets to achieve LDN and to incorporate them in UNCCD NAPs. - LDN-TSP National LDN targets and associated measures
4 LDN-TSP The LDN indicator adopted is Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area. The monitoring of this indicator is based on the combined use of three sub-indicators, namely - land cover - land productivity - SOC above and below ground
5 Multiple benefits of LDN food and water security poverty eradication resource availability biodiversity conservation crop production soil fertility and stability climate regulation, climate change mitigation, adaptation and risk reduction maintain / improve ecosystem services : pollination recreation sustaining livelihoods
6 Linkages with other SDGs Source: Akhtar Schuster et al.
7 LDN Counterbalancing Mechanism LDN = no net loss = Challenges Land degradation use Losses Opportunities Avoidance Proactive measures Regulations, Planning Minimisation Mitigation through SLM- agro forestry, conservation agric. Reverse Rehabilitation and restoration of ecological services Gains Source: UNCCD SPI, LDN Conceptual Framework
8 Why CSA Supports LDN Strong causality relationship between land degradation and vulnerability to climate change Cost-effectiveness of land-based adaptation measures compared to other sectors Multiple-benefits of land-based actions, mainly poverty reduction and therefore resilient development
9 Strong causality relationship between land degradation and vulnerability to climate change Climate change driving force of land degradation Land Degradation driving force for increased vulnerability to climate change The average river runoff and water availability Increased frequency and intensity of drought and floods, Rising temperatures, Profound ecological shifts Food insecurity Reduced availability of clean water, Biodiversity loss, Presence of invasive species, pests, Loss of livelihoods -Poverty Human health issues Migration and sociopolitical insecurity
10 Ongoing Sri Lankan Projects supports to CSA and LDN Land Based Adaptation Ecosystem Approach Landscape Approach
