1 Forest and Landscape Restoration: The World Bank perspectives and ongoing activities Paola Agostini Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice World Bank Drylands & Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) Monitoring Week April 27, Rome, Italy

2 Guiding principles of the NEW WB FOREST ACTION PLAN 1. The 2002 Forest Strategy remains valid The proposed FAP FY16-20 aims at operationalizing pillars of the Forest Strategy taking into account new context and challenges/opportunities Presentation Title

3 2. Alignment with the WBG Corporate Goals ap the Potential of Forests and Trees to contribute to WBG goal of Ending Extreme Poverty and Boosting Shared Prosperity in a Sustainable Manner Reduce Poverty by sustaining livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people especially where alternatives do not exist. Create Jobs and Wealth by responding to local and global demand for timber and nontimber products Sustain Economies by providing ecosystem services critical to the productive sectors and by mitigating and

4 Propos ed Invest ment & Action Areas

5 Proposed Focus Areas & Cross- Cutting Themes Focus Area 1 Sustainable Forestry Focus Area 2 Forest-Smart Interventions in other Sectors Particip ation & Rights Protect and optimize use of forests (both natural and planted) to sustain livelihoods, create jobs and economic opportunities in rural areas while preserving Ensure that ecosystem investments in services other economic delivered sectors by forests (agriculture, energy, mining, transport ) consider avoiding/minimizing adverse impacts on forests and/or maximizing development outcomes through forest-based solutions Institution s & Climate Change & Resilien

6 Promote Sustainabl e Investment s in Forestry 04/05/2016 Optimize use of natural forests for livelihoods, jobs and economic opportunities - Promote participatory forest management, including of protected areas - Enhance sustainable production of timber and nontimber forest product (NTFPs) - Promote forest conversation while promoting livelihoods (incl. through nature-based tourism) - Value and pay for environmental services Incentivize Sustainable Plantations and Tree Planting - Foster Responsible Investment in Commercial Reforestation - Small-holder Plantations and Tree Planting

7 romote Forest- Smart Investments 04/05/2016 Optimize Land Use through ex ante Spatial Planning - Better understand the interlinkages between forests and other land-uses, to better inform decision-making - Minimize or mitigate negative impacts on forest & identify wins across sectors, make use of degraded Foster Multisectoral lands, and Coordination protect high-tvalue Deliver forests on Forest-smart Operations - Use of Safeguards/Performance Standards as early screening of investments in land-based sectors to manage impacts on forests; - Mainstream forests and trees into the design of operations (Agriculture, Transport, Energy )

8 Landscape Approach The multi-dimensional challenges of poverty, population growth rates, climate variability, land degradation, deforestation, unsustainable watershed management, and unsustainable land use require integrated solutions across boundaries. Landscape approach refers to taking both a geographical and socio-economic approach to managing land, water and forest resources. Connecting protected areas, forest, woodlands, agro-silvo-pastoral lands, croplands, irrigated agricultural lands for increased productivity and provision of ecosystem services. Source: IUCN 8
