Annual Report Harnessing the power of forests, trees and agroforestry 20 21 Several turning points offered new hope in 2021: the slowing of the Covid-19 pandemic through widespread (albeit unevenly distributed) vaccination, the launch of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and the historic Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use. CIFOR-ICRAF also marked two critical turning points: the successful completion of our three-year merger process and of the 10-year CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA). Led by CIFOR-ICRAF in collaboration with partners, FTA’s contributions have resulted in millions of hectares of forests under restoration and better protection – and millions of people with improved food security and nutrition and the means to exit poverty. Now fully merged, CIFOR-ICRAF is generating more evidence of the transformative potential of trees and forests, with our research consolidated into five integrated themes (trees, climate, soils, markets and governance). Our three holistic approaches – Transformative Partnership Platforms, Engagement Landscapes, and Flagship Products – are leveraging resources and partnerships across Africa, Asia and Latin America. We finished the year with a project pipeline of USD 430 million and harmonized internal management. We are making strong progress towards our Gender, Diversity and Inclusion goals and we now have a dynamic new website (cifor-icraf.org). We have also launched a recruitment process for a Chief Executive Officer to take CIFOR-ICRAF to the next level. This report shines a light on some of our solutions to five global challenges: deforestation and biodiversity loss, climate change, dysfunctional food systems, unsustainable supply and value chains, and inequality. Achievements include informing national policies in Peru and Viet Nam, applying new technologies in the Congo Basin and India, and co-creating solutions with partners and communities in Indonesia and Cameroon, all while integrating considerations of the rights of women, Indigenous Peoples and vulnerable rural communities. Exciting new projects launched in 2021 include Trees Outside Forests in India (TOFI) supported by USAID and the Agroforestry and Restoration Accelerator in Brazil in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and Amazon Inc. 1.5 billion people have been connected through the Global Landscapes Forum, which continued to break new ground – most notably at the UN climate conference in Glasgow, which had over 1 million session views from 140 countries. And Resilient Landscapes is fast becoming a nexus between science and business, finance, government and civil society, with new projects starting in Papua New Guinea, Serbia and Brazil. As Chair of the Board Claire O Connor passes the baton to welcome Professor Getachew Engida, CIFOR-ICRAF now stands as one organization forged through shared values. Thanks to the generous support of our funding and strategic partners and the tireless efforts of our over 700 staff, we are well on our way to implementing our theory of change and realizing our vision of a more equitable world where forest and agroforestry landscapes enhance the environment and well-being for all.

Because each crisis affects the others, solving them requires whole- system responses that consider how all people are affected and the environment is impacted over time. Transdisciplinary science at CIFOR- ICRAF not only delivers holistic solutions but also ensures their relevance to national programmes and local communities, as shown throughout this report. By supporting local innovation rather than helicoptering in solutions from outside, we embrace cutting- edge science while working hand in hand with global, national and local communities to co-create and scale solutions that meet their needs. We operate transformative research. For example, we seek not only to understand how gender inequity compromises sustainable development, but also to shift power asymmetries to create a more equitable future for both men and women. – Fergus Sinclair, Chief Scientist C H A N G IN G W E A T H E R P A T T E R N S , H I G H E R T E M P E R A T U R E S P O L L U T I O N , L A N D A N D WAT E R D E G R A D A T I O N O N E - T H I R D O F G L O B A L G H G E M I S S I O N S BIODIVERSITY LOSS AND DEFORESTATION UNSUSTAINABLE VALUE CHAINS BROKEN FOOD SYSTEMS CLIMATE CHANGE HIGHER GHG EMISSIONS LESS POLLINATION MORE SEVERE FLOODS AND DROUGHTS I N E Q U A L I T Y A F F E C T I N G W O M E N , I N D I G E N O U S P E O P L E S A N D O T H E R M A R G I N A L I Z E D G R O U P S Five major global challenges interact with and amplify each other in myriad ways. 5 1 Thriving, diverse forests and farms 2 Climate-resilient ecosystems and communities 3 Sustainable, vibrant food systems 4 Green, equitable supply and value chains 5 Inclusive, rights- based participation Our way of working Our innovations Our network CIFOR-ICRAF is focused on contributing to a decisive shift in global trajectories: from a future of environmental destruction and livelihood crises to one of prosperity and planetary health. Uniquely equipped to deliver transformative research, we harness the power of science and innovation to improve the benefits that forests, trees, soils and their sustainable management can provide to all humankind, for a more resilient, equitable and prosperous future. Our work is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, as well as the three Rio Conventions. We continue to implement our 10-year strategy (2020-2030), working across five broad themes: Trees and forest genetic resources and biodiversity; Climate change, energy and low-carbon development; Soil and land health; Sustainable value chains and investments; and Governance, equity and well-being. CIFOR and ICRAF are members of CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food-secure future (see p. 16).

But how to ensure that restored areas stay restored? What drives ‘permanence’ is a critical research topic for the global restoration agenda, especially as efforts are bolstered by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021– 2030) and the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration to halt and reverse forest degradation by 2030. CIFOR-ICRAF has deep roots of engagement in Ethiopia, which is known for its commitment to restoration. In partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), researchers applied the Stakeholder Approach to Risk Informed and Evidence-based Decision-making (SHARED) in the Oromia Engagement Landscape to identify factors that determine the permanence of a restored forest or agricultural ecosystem and whether this triggers habitat degradation elsewhere – i.e., ‘leakage’. Researchers used crowdsourced data from the Regreening Africa App, conducted household surveys and held stakeholder workshops. Findings showed that households practising permanent land restoration had at least one ‘most- demanded’ tree species near their farms or homesteads along with other diverse tree species. They tended to be wealthier, have larger land plots with livestock and were more aware of natural resource use bylaws and regulations. Households living further away from urban centres were more likely to contribute to leakage compared to those near cities. The main conclusion? Assessing permanence should be incorporated into restoration planning early on. The Ethiopia work is a component of CIFOR-ICRAF’s Landscape Restoration Transformative Partnership Platform (TPP), which aims to enhance the understanding of what works and what does not in particular socioecological landscapes. The TPP is co- generating and sharing locally relevant lessons through global comparative research on the various dimensions of land restoration. Supported by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) “This project demonstrated the importance of linking socioeconomic and biophysical drivers of degradation in order to design long- term land restoration options that reduce leakage and increase permanence.” Leigh Ann Winowiecki Team Leader, Soil and land health Beyond tree planting: Landscape restoration that sticks Learn more www.cifor-icraf. org/landscape- restoration Read Building evidence on permanence and leakage for sustainable restoration outcomes Closing Peru’s national restoration gap Peru’s new national restoration strategy (ProREST) has at its heart a commitment to the landscape approach. This is thanks in part to long-term research and engagement by CIFOR-ICRAF, which Peru’s National Forest and Wild Fauna Service (SERFOR) recognized as a key provider of evidence- based recommendations to guide the strategy. SERFOR foresees ongoing collaboration with CIFOR-ICRAF on research and restoration technologies, technical support and documentation. Supported by SERFOR The Yangambi Engagement Landscape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is an example of what you can achieve when you spend enough time in one place, getting to the crux of the issues affecting people and their environment. In fact, CIFOR- ICRAF’s ‘engagement landscapes’ concept was sparked by the impacts achieved through nearly 15 years of work with institutions and communities near the Kisangani–Yangambi urban–rural complex, co-creating solutions to forest degradation and poverty. Over 2 million trees have been planted since 2019, restoring over 2,300 hectares of land and creating over 3,400 seasonal and direct jobs. In a few years, the trees will be ready for use as biomass in a combined heat and power plant, now under construction. More than 220 masters and doctoral researchers have been trained through a 15-year collaboration with the University of Kisangani (UNIKIS) and 11% of these are women. Infrastructure upgrades to UNIKIS include about 5,500 square metres of state-of- the-art low-carbon buildings. Sustainable livelihood efforts are focusing on development of small-to-medium enterprises (supporting 1,017 people, of whom 706 are women), sustainable charcoal (with 106 charcoal makers trained and 19 community nurseries established), fish farming (with over 5 tons already produced in cooperative fish farms), and agroforestry using fruit trees mixed with improved cassava, corn and peanut crops. Performance-based schemes are boosting entrepreneurship for women and men. The Congo Basin’s first eddy covariance-flux tower now rises 55 m above the Biosphere Reserve, assessing the forest’s potential to mitigate climate change through carbon capture. To curb the devastating impact of urban wildmeat consumption on forest biodiversity, an innovative campaign uses comic-strip-style posters and community theatre to change people’s perception around selling and consuming wildmeat. Finally, environmental education and outreach activities include a photo exhibit depicting the region’s history, music videos, over 3,250 primary- and secondary-school students participating in periodic workshops, and an animated film.

Tshopo, DRC © Fiston Wasanga/ CIFOR-ICRAF The Global Comparative Study on REDD+ (GCS REDD+) launched its fourth phase in 2021, building on over a decade of research on actions to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and enhance forest carbon stocks. In Viet Nam, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) referenced GCS REDD+ global research findings on carbon rights and REDD+ benefit-sharing in a draft decree that, once approved, will be a criterion for receipt of results-based payments.
