Sustainable Landscapes for Green Growth in Southeast Asia

AGENDA

Welcome to the Forests Asia Summit, for what we hope will be a lively and fruitful debate on the future of Southeast Asia’s forests, land uses and landscapes.

Southeast Asia is changing, as leaders, businesses and consumers increasingly see the need for new, sustainable approaches, so that people and nations might enjoy prosperity and equity well into the future.

Our aim over these two days is to help build commitments to green growth pathways, sustainable investments, integrated research, trans-boundary collaboration, and continued dialogue. We hope that all participants contribute to these commitments toward innovative and combined solutions to some of the region’s most pressing challenges

We thank you for joining us at this Summit, so we can work together to turn such ideas into reality.

We thank you for sharing your expertise and for learning from others, for true collaboration and innovation. We thank you for being part of the change that is shaping the future of forests, landscapes and hundreds of millions of people across the region.

We thank you for joining the discussion.

1. Governance and legal frameworks to promote sustainable landscapes

A complex patchwork of institutions, decision-making processes and formal and informal rules, operating at multiple levels, shape people’s access to, and use of, land and forest resources. In Southeast Asia, new opportunities and risks for the governance of landscapes are emerging, including trans-boundary forms of regulation; lack of clarity in land-use rights; and jurisdictional approaches to green development. Greater policy and research attention is needed on: (1) conditions shaping interactions between large-scale investments and agricultural and forest land uses, to target degraded and genuinely available land; (2) conditions under which large-scale investments and government interventions can contribute to equitable smallholder participation; (3) national policy options that generate optimal long-term environmental and developmental outcomes; (4) international policy and regulatory options to reconcile environment and trade; and (5) governance architectures for enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of sustainability initiatives.

2. Investing in landscapes for green returns

Many countries in Southeast Asia are seeking to attract investments to support sustainable land and resource use. To stimulate investments in landscapes for green returns, policies should encourage synergies, complementarities, coherence and coordination between multilateral environmental agreements and public financing organizations. As the private sector will continue to be the preeminent source of financing, public funding should be targeted at creating enabling conditions at national and international levels for private sector investments. Improved access to credit at affordable rates of interest, long maturities and more flexible repayment schedules is required, especially for smallholders. New business models need to be designed through, for example, credible and affordable international certification standards, and new risk insurance mechanisms need to be developed.

3. Climate change and low emissions development on the ground

Many Southeast Asian countries are beginning to promote “green” economic transitions and/or low-emissions development strategies (LEDS) to reduce their dependency on non-renewable resources and increase sustainability. One well-researched mechanism to enhance the role of forests in LEDS is REDD+, a policy framework aimed at climate change mitigation in the forestry sector. Lessons from REDD+ can inform efforts to transition to LEDS and a green economy. Areas needing particular policy and research attention are (1) governance, to support enabling factors such as coordination between sectors and levels, national ownership and transformational coalitions; (2) finance, so that LEDS can compete economically with other land uses; (3) monitoring, to enable results-based carbon management; (4) benefit sharing, for equitable distribution of benefits; and (5) tenure, to create clarity and equity in land ownership.

4. Forest landscapes for food and biodiversity

With a growing global population, discourses on food security tend to focus on agricultural expansion. Much of this expansion is thought to happen at the expense of natural systems and related biodiversity. However, in Asia, food insecurity is not a problem of food quantity but rather an issue of poverty and access to food, and forest-sourced foods have been documented to contribute to local food security and nutrition. In this context, understanding the contribution of forests, trees and forest-based ecosystems to food security, nutrition and livelihoods is critical, both to keep forests on the food policy agenda and to strengthen efforts to end hunger and malnutrition. Policy and research attention should be particularly directed toward enhancing the natural resource base; shifting the focus away from agriculture alone onto the entire food system; and promoting diverse and nutritious diets.

5. Changing communities, sustainable landscapes and equitable development

Economic and demographic transformations sweeping Southeast Asia include the shift toward integration into a global economy, changing patterns of investment, increased demand for biodiversity and environmental services, and ongoing demographic trends such as migration, urbanization and remittance flows. Community and social forestry were promoted as a policy response for more equitable development but often fail to reflect current dynamics. In this context, achieving sustainability requires policies that (1) prioritize inclusive rural development; (2) are flexible enough to respond to the diverse needs of different community forestry models and smallholder groups; (3) support community forestry and help smallholders respond effectively to economic globalization and commercialization; (4) support fair partnerships with the business sector; and/or (5) consider the dynamics of migration, mobility and remittances.
