- Title
- Description
- This report (in 5 parts) summarises current knowledge of the anticipated impacts of climate change on water availability for agriculture and examines the implications for local and national food security. It analyses expected impact of climate change on a set of major agricultural systems at risk and makes the case for immediate implementation of no-regrets strategies which have both positive development outcomes and make agricultural systems resilient. This part provides an introduction to the report and gives a summary of the current situation regarding climate change, water and food security, reviewing current literature to provide context for the report. This report was published by the FAO in 2011.

It analyses expected impact of climate change on a set of major agricultural systems at risk and makes the case for immediate implementation of no-regrets strategies which have both positive development outcomes and make agricultural systems resilient. This part includes a summary of the current and projected trends in food and agricultural production and how this will impact on the demand for water, before discussing the likely effects of climate change on these two areas. This report was published by the FAO in 2011.

It analyses expected impact of climate change on a set of major agricultural systems at risk and makes the case for immediate implementation of no-regrets strategies which have both positive development outcomes and make agricultural systems resilient. This part describes the prospects for adaptation of these strategies in agriculture, as well as the likely impact of climate change mitigation activities related to agricultural water management. It then goes on to make a number of recommendations for improving the situation and mitigating the effects of climate change on agricultural water management. This report was published by the FAO in 2011.

- Description
- This FAO paper presents an overview of the distinctive features of communal tenure in different community-based land and natural resource management systems. Communal tenure refers to situations where groups, communities, or one or more villages have well defined, exclusive rights to jointly own and/or manage particular areas of natural resources such as land, forest and water.

- Description
- The progress of Community Forestry in Myanmar was assessed via field work in 16 Community Forests and associated villages in October- December 2010. Community forests were assessed, the local Forest Users Groups (FUGs) were researched, and a total of 272 households were interviewed. This report presents findings from the study, covering: the policy, legal and institutional context; the pre-Community Forest situation; Community Forest management; the condition of Community Forests; an economic analysis; livelihoods and equity issues; sustainability; and recommendations. The project was led by Dr Kyaw Tint, the head of ECCDI, with technical support from Dr Oliver Springate-Baginski of the University of East Anglia (UEA), and this report was published in August 2011.

- Description
- This report presents the results of a study of users of natural resources in and around the Mount Emei World Heritage Site, Sichuan, China. The study was part of a project which aimed to identify means of developing economic incentives for the users of natural resources in and around World Heritage Sites (WHS) in order to sustainably use and manage forest biodiversity. It used a market analysis and development (MA&D) approach in order to identify participants, and to plan and create micro-enterprises. This document, Forestry Policy and Institutions Working Paper 17, was published by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2006. This section, part 1 of 6, contains the contents list and introduction. Other sections of this publication are also catalogued in the e-library.
