Описание: These guidelines outline the process for preparing a National Plan for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Farmers’ Varieties/Landraces, in support of national authorities seeking to develop a systematic approach to the management of these genetic resources. They focus on the common elements required to ensure a systematic, national approach to conservation and sustainable use of farmers’ varieties/landraces.
The cultivation of diverse farmers' varieties/landraces, which tend to be well-adapted and suited to local production systems, confers increased resilience for crop production. Unfortunately, many of these genetic resources have been replaced by modern cultivars in recent decades, resulting in a reduction in the number of varieties grown and/or loss of heterogeneity. Such losses make farming systems less resilient, especially to shocks from abiotic and biotic stresses.
These guidelines will contribute to addressing this continuing loss of diversity. They are a useful tool for development practitioners, researchers, students and policymakers who work on the conservation and sustainable use of these valuable resources.
Описание: A practical tool for implementing the sustainable food value chain framework with a focus on small-scale livestock producers, targeting an audience of project design teams and policymakers.
Описание: This report provides an analysis of the rise of non-tariff measures (NTMs) and its implications for Asia and the Pacific. Prepared jointly by ESCAP and UNCTAD, it reviews the costs and benefits associated with such measures from a sustainable development perspective, and identifies good practices to ensure that they serve their legitimate social or environmental purpose while not unnecessarily and negatively affecting trade and investment. The report focuses on the rise of NTMs and why they matter for sustainable development. It delves on the impact of NTMs in Asia and the Pacific, explores their relationship to international standards and discusses streamlining NTMs for Sustainable Development.
Описание: This paper looks at policy measures that can affect trade and markets, including tariffs, export restrictions and “behind-the-border” domestic support measures such as input and output subsidies, as well as market price support. With trade recognized as being key for the implementation of Agenda 2030, policy-makers will need to ensure that related policy measures are taken into consideration as part of their efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2), Zero Hunger.
The targets that set out the level and ambition of SDG 2, as well as trade itself, often constitute distinct policy priorities for governments. Policy measures that are designed to achieve one target may have unintended negative consequences on other targets, both within the country where the measure is applied and in trading partner countries.
The report suggests that it is important that policy-makers identify and recognize areas where difficult trade-offs may be needed between competing policy objectives, and identify ways in which these can be addressed. While the different targets set out under SDG 2 are mutually interdependent and interrelated, it is important to address the trade policy dimension of each component individually as part of a broader plan of action.
Описание: Focuses on how `climate-smart` trade and investment-related policies can help address climate change, taking into account the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. The links between trade, investment and climate change are complex. The key is to ensure that the positive effects of trade and investment are maximized.

Описание: Explores how blockchain is potentially a key technology in a new technological paradigm of increasing automation and integrating physical and virtual worlds. Governments of developing countries should seek to strengthen their innovation systems to strategically position themselves to benefit from this new wave of technological change.
Описание: This report examines how foreign direct investment (FDI) can support sustainable post-pandemic recovery, drawing lessons from the impact of past global crises on FDI and the response of multinational enterprises and international investors that are still relevant today. It further identifies priority areas for investment in sustainable recovery, focusing on boosting growth and development and on increasing economic, social and supply chain resilience. Finally, it discusses the potential impact of rescue and recovery packages that are being adopted around the world on global investment trends, and especially on international project finance in infrastructure, renewables and digital development.
Описание: Presents in two volumes case studies on practical implementation of core indicators for sustainable development reporting with a view to facilitate the sharing of good practices among Member States.
Описание: This publication provides a foundation for filling information and data gap on trade in oceans-based sectors with the aim of facilitating its sustainable development within and across borders. The publication sets forth a Sustainable Oceans Economy classification for tradable goods and services, which can be used by all countries at any point in time. Moreover, it has been conceptualized with consideration for its application for the design of coherent policies, the assessment of oceans sustainability pillars, and the comprehensive analysis of value chains of oceans-based sectors (goods and services).
Описание: This report shows how sustainability standards can be a powerful tool for post-pandemic recovery. It traces the origin of sustainability standards, their evolution from niche to mainstream, and industry trends. Companies use them widely in their value chains. Investor choices and government policies are also being shaped by these standards.
Описание: This publication presents a case study in East Java, Indonesia, about ADB’s collaboration with local governments and other stakeholders in monitoring, implementing, raising awareness, and advocating for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The SDGs set global, big-picture targets that nations have committed to attaining. However, unless action is taken at the local level, these targets can never be reached. The case study on Lumajang and Pacitan district demonstrate how ADB has been helping to make data available and accessible in a visually attractive and easy-to-understand way for different local stakeholders, thereby contributing to localizing SDGs.
