Ecosystem Alliance Learning Agenda objectives schematically:
3 levels of learning under the 3 major themes.
Of course we often learn together at various levels!
Ecosystems and Livelihoods
Greening the Economy
Ecosystems & Climate Change
Participatory resource use planning
& management
Improvement, promotion and
monitoring of best standards, & limit
expansion
Equitable climate change
mitigation and adaptation
(different strategies REDD+/
adaptation)
1.1- What are the most promising
approaches to participatory resource use
planning
2.1-to better advance the improvement and
implementation of high standards for
agricommodities (biofuels, soy and palm oil)
and specific mineral value chains at the level of
the Dutch and European governments, as well
as among the corporate sector.
3.1-preconditions, methods and
operational measures to ensure
ecosystem-based and socially just
climate adaptation as well as mitigation
(REDD + ao).
Theme
Level of learning
Alliance members
(IUCN-BE-WI) learn:
1.2-They analyze –with partners- key
factors for effective planning and
implementation, especially for biodiversity
& access rights for the resource poor.
1.3- How to upscale such initiatives in
support of partners and
2.2-They effectively promote – with partners the avoidance of harmful land use change
caused by agricommodities & minerals by being
well-informed about evidence.
1.4-(to understand) how to help partners
to advocate for participatory mechanisms,
including monitoring and evaluation, in
the management of key ecosystems
1
3.2-They also improve their knowledge
on how to promote these measures and
how to support partners on these
topics.
1.5-To promote and engage in
participatory water and land use planning,
Partner level= grantees
learn :
1.6-To analyze and express the
relationships between different
development options and their
implications for ecosystem service delivery
and related dependent communities.
1.7- How to support community
empowerment and to co-operate with
power holders to effectuate participatory
plans and their implementation
2.3-How to optimize their role in the
improvement, advancement and monitoring of
implementation of social/biodiversity standards
in commodities, with special reference biofuels,
soy and palm oil & minerals.
2.4-How to detect and communicate risks and
promote policy and concrete implementation
measures to avoid harmful land use changes
from commodities.
3.3-about the different ways that
ecosystems can support adaptation and
mitigation
3.4-how to stimulate & support
equitable ecosystem-based climate
mitigation and/or adaptation
measures, incl REDD +.
1.8- to achieve genuinely participatory
multi stakeholder mechanisms in the
institutional frameworks for management
of key ecosystems
Target group level (=
community level,
target groups of
partners) learns
1.9- to be more effectively involved in the
participatory planning of land, forest and
water resource use
1.10- to better advocate for
implementation of such plans, and
1.11-(to advocate) for participatory multistakeholder mechanisms in the
institutional frameworks for management
2.5-local communities in key areas learn how to
effectively engage with and use standard
setting mechanisms to enhance their claim
making power, and
2.6-how to monitor implementation of the
commodity criteria (of biofuels/soy/palm oil
and mining).
2.7 Extra: how to monitor and promote
containment of expansion
2
3.5 -how to enhance their rights,
improve their contribution to
ecosystem protection and be
compensated/ stimulated financially
for their contributions to climate
change mitigation and/or adaptation.
3.6 how to adapt to climate change
while protecting and making
sustainable use of ecosystems
