Çalıştayla ilgili ilk mesajı 11 Ağustos’ta almıştım.

Dear colleagues from the Chamber of Forest Engineers of Türkiye, I hope this message finds you well.

 As you know, the 26th session of the Near East Forestry and Range Commission will be held in conjunction with the 5th Near East Forestry Week and other sessions of FAO statutory bodies, from 10 to 14 September 2023 in Amman, Jordan.

 In the context of the 5th Near East Forestry Week, we are organizing a technical workshop in line with the FAO Regional Priority 3: “Greening agriculture, water scarcity and climate action”. Considering your experience in dryland forests and climate change, we are honoured to invite you to name one panelist for the technical workshop on “Challenges and opportunities for climate change adaptation with dryland forests”, which will take place from 16.00 to 17.30 local time on Monday, 11 September 2023.

Following the launch at COP27 of a publication on the relationships between forests and climate change adaptation (available here), FAO has been working with partners to facilitate global and regional discussions on the role of forests and trees in adaptation and resilience (see for example, here). This technical workshop will highlight the challenges climate change presents to the region’s forests, as well as the contributions of forests to adaptation and resilience. We hope you may accept this invitation and stand ready to provide further information to facilitate your contribution to the event. Upon your positive response, we will be glad to set up a briefing session with panelists the week before the event (tentatively, Tuesday, 5 September at 12.00 UTC+3).

Best regards,

Antoine Libert Amico, PhD Climate Resilience Expert Forestry Division (NFO) Office of Emergencies and Resilience (OER) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) antoine.libert@fao.org

Bu çalıştaya hazırlık için 5 Eylül 2023’te bir hazırlık toplantısı yaptık.

Bu toplantıda görüşülen hususların özeti aşağıdaki gibi.

Dear colleagues,

We are very excited about this upcoming event and the debates that are already emerging from the briefing session we held today. Thank you kindly for your contributions. For those who participated, and those who were not able to join us, please find below the link to a folder where you can view the recording of the session and revise the powerpoint that we used to present the workshop and revise the focus questions for discussion. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10eDZIhkDIp00RlY9E01oU8Ld-O9iHQU7?usp=drive_link

We will be sending the e-invite in a separate email, please share widely throughout your networks. Glad to confirm that the event will be held in the AlReem ballroom.

Kind regards, Antoine

Fifth Near East Forestry Week – Technical workshop Title: Challenges and opportunities for climate change adaptation with drylands forests Date: Monday, 11 September 2023, from 16.00 to 17.30 UTC+3 (Amman, Jordan)

Background: Forests have been high on the climate change agenda mainly for their contributions to climate change mitigation. However, forests and trees do more than sequester and store carbon. They provide a host of ecosystem services that help people and ecosystems adapt to climate change. Forests and trees are already affected by climate change, including through more frequent and intense climate impacts. The role of forests and trees in mitigating climate change and buffering its impacts depends on their ability to adapt and maintain resilience in a changing environment.

Covering five per cent of the land area of the region of Near East and North Africa, dryland forests provide crucial ecosystem services and livelihoods for communities engaged in sustainable forest management, non-wood forest value chains, and silvopastoralism. The specific challenges in the region with regards to land and water management call for discussions on opportunities and benefits from the conservation and sustainable management of dryland forest systems for enhancing food security under additional constraints of increasing population, climate change, conflicts and migration.

This technical workshop will highlight the contributions of forests to climate change adaptation, as well as the challenges climate change presents to dryland forests. This event contributes to the FAO Regional priority 3: Greening agriculture, water scarcity, and climate action.

Main objectives

• Highlight good practices in adaptation of dryland forests and their contributions to livelihoods
• Share with country stakeholders FAO’s offer of support and discuss entry points for integrating forest-based adaptation into national and sectoral adaptation and resilience policy documents
• Explore interlinkages between dryland forests, biodiversity, and resilient agrifood systems.
