1. Synergies with other initiatives Natalia Rodríguez Eugenio GSP Secretariat 5th EASP Plenary Meeting Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct
2. Land Degradation Neutrality projects 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct LDN  A state whereby the amount and quality of land resources, necessary to support ecosystem functions and services and enhance food security, remains stable or increases within specified temporal and spatial scales and ecosystems. Linked to SDG target 15.3: “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. LDN Indicators and soils 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct Countries have to report on: 1. Land cover (land cover change); 2. Land productivity (net primary productivity, NPP); 3. Carbon stocks (soil organic carbon).
4. GSP supporting GEF projects on LDN in the region GEF Project Potential links Georgia (livestock) Kakheti, Kvemo Khartli, Mtskheta Mtianeti - Building digital Atlas (SOC) Azerbaijan (protected area landscapes) Hirkan and Shirvan Protected Areas - SOC - LDN Monitoring systems Armenia LDN Lori and Siunik regions - SOC - LDN Monitoring systems Uzbekistan LDN Bukhara/Navoi landscape - Monitoring system - Subnational target setting 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct
5. 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct CACILM-2 Aims to scale up INRM in drought-prone and salt- affected agricultural production landscapes in Central Asia and Turkey Contributes to UNCCD and UNFCCC targets
6. • Severe land degradation and salinity (including salinization of irrigated land) • Drought and impact of Climate Change • Skill gap: limited access to knowledge, best practices and research results • High vulnerability of livelihoods to climate change impacts, particularly extreme weather events (e.g. droughts and floods) • Weak institutional and policy frameworks to implement sustainable land management practices • Lack of intersectoral coordination and regional cooperation 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct CACILM-2 | Main Challenges
7. 1. Multi-country collaboration and partnership to foster the effective delivery of INRM (regional) 2. Integration of resilience into policy, legal and institutional frameworks for INRM (national) 3. Upscaling of climate-smart agricultural practices in drought prone and salt affected production landscapes (national) 4. M&E, and adaptive learning (regional and national) 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct CACILM-2 | Project components
8. Support from GSP/EASP to CACILM-2 next steps • Trainings for key partner organizations to scale up best practices of INRM in the region  SSM best practices • Integrate sustainability / resilience factors in the national institutional / policy frameworks on development planning and budgeting  VGSSM • Enhanced knowledge on the costs of land degradation for policy makers through valuation of ecosystem services  Study on the economic benefits of SSM 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct
9. Support from GSP/EASP to CACILM-2 next steps • Produce and disseminate publications (policy briefs, guidelines and field manuals) for policy- makers, RAS institutions and farmers on SLM / INRM practices  Include SSM practices and regional policy briefs 5th EASP Plenary Meeting | Chisinau, Moldova 30 Sept – 1 Oct
