A Practical Framework for Aligning NDC Enhancement and COVID-19 Recovery: Detailed Forest and Agriculture Sectoral Approaches

The document argues that green economic recovery packages can simultaneously address the climate crisis and food insecurity by investing in nature-based solutions and sustainable agriculture. It highlights the role of natural capital spending, payment for ecosystem services, and remote monitoring technology in protecting forests. Furthermore, it emphasizes that securing indigenous land rights is a critical strategy for supporting vulnerable populations and slowing forest loss.

• Green economic recovery packages can support the forest and agriculture sectors through investments in nature-based solutions—such as restoration, tropical forest conservation, and sustainable agriculture—or by strengthening environmental regulations, which benefits climate, food security, and livelihoods.
• Countries can utilize natural capital spending and payment for ecosystem service schemes to fund the protection and restoration of forest and agriculture sectors, promoting both immediate prosperity and long-term economic security for rural communities.
• Technological improvements in remote monitoring enable governments to better track forest loss and restoration, while new data allows for the quantification of carbon benefits from nature-based solutions.
• Policies and programs that secure or expand the land rights of indigenous communities help protect vulnerable populations and have been demonstrated to reduce the rate of forest loss.
