    Cambodia

    This report presents an overview of national practices of forest land clearance during the 2012-2013 dry season, as a basis for discussing the challenges for FLEGT and REDD+ in Cambodia posed by land conversion and conversion timber. The report maps and describes the geography of forest land allocations in relation to the major forest formations, land concessions, protected areas, the national forest estate, and the reported concession ownership.

    Uganda

    After a destructive civil war and
    extreme political instability, Uganda began its
    reconstruction process in 1987. Within the enabling
    environment of macroeconomic stability, most of the progress
    on the twin goals was attributable to higher agricultural
    incomes. Poverty reduction among households primarily
    engaged in agriculture accounted for 53 percent of the
    reduction in poverty from 2006 to 2010 and 77 percent of the

    Madagascar

    The major role tropical forests play in
    biodiversity and climate change has led the world to search
    for effective ways to slow down deforestation. Community
    forest management (CFM) is an example of the broader concept
    of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM). As
    part of the decentralization policy in many countries,
    mainly in Africa and Asia, CFM was expected to promote: (i)
    a more effective stewardship of the resources by involving

    Global

    This paper conducts an integrated
    assessment of climate change impacts and climate mitigation
    on agricultural commodity markets and food availability in
    low- and middle-income countries. The analysis uses the
    partial equilibrium model GLOBIOM to generate scenarios to
    2080. The findings show that climate change effects on the
    agricultural sector will increase progressively over the
    century. By 2030, the impact of climate change on food

    Tanzania

    Climate change is a core development
    challenge in Tanzania, and the potential costs of inaction
    are significant. Current climate variability (including
    extreme events such as droughts and floods), already leads
    to major economic costs in mainland Tanzania and in
    Zanzibar. Individual annual events have economic costs in
    excess of 1 percent of GDP, and occur regularly, reducing
    long-term growth and affecting millions of people and

    Indonesia

    Seventy years after independence and
    more than a decade of political and institutional reforms,
    Indonesia has emerged as a stable democracy. Indonesia’s
    achievements are now under stress, with a slowdown in its
    commodity driven economy, stagnant rates of poverty
    reduction, and rapidly rising inequality. The development
    policy review, completed in 2014, and the systematic country
    diagnostic (SCD), completed in 2015, explain the limited

    How much do poor rural households rely
    on environmental extraction from natural ecosystems? And how
    does climate variability impact their livelihoods? This
    paper sheds light on these two questions with household
    income data from the Poverty and Environment Network
    pantropical data set, combined with climate data for the
    past three decades. The study finds that extraction of wild
    resources (from natural forests, bushlands, fallows, etc.)

    Bolivia

    Bolivia’s distinct characteristics and
    aspirations are a key for understanding its development
    trajectory. Bolivia is one of the countries with the highest
    share of indigenous population, representing a tapestry of
    different groups with different historical, cultural and
    economic features, with a significant influence in policy
    decision making. The country is landlocked and one of the
    most sparsely populated in the world. As a result, long
