Item Integrative Land-Biodiversity-Climate Action: Leveraging Synergies through Ecosystem Restoration in Central Asia(Case Study, 2025-02) Mirzabaev, Alisher; Akramkhanov, AkmalThis is the English counterpart of the Central Asia case study. It provides comprehensive analysis of degradation patterns, investment needs, and governance frameworks across the five Central Asian countries. It shows that coordinated land restoration could reduce implementation costs by up to USD 6.2 billion. Policy recommendations focus on MRV harmonization, regional learning exchanges, and private sector mobilization.Item Integrative Land-Biodiversity-Climate Action: Leveraging Synergies through Ecosystem Restoration in Uzbekistan(Case Study, 2025-02) Mirzabaev, Alisher; Akramkhanov, AkmalThe English version of the Uzbekistan country case study, detailing methodological steps, cost-benefit estimations, institutional coordination needs, and national alignment with Rio Convention targets. It spatially identifies 1.37 million hectares suitable for restoration and outlines mechanisms to enhance national coherence and financing efficiency.Item Leveraging Synergies from Integrative Land-Biodiversity-Climate Action through Ecosystem Restoration in Central Asia(Brief, 2025) Economics of Land Degradation InitiativeA concise policy brief summarizing the Central Asia case study. It outlines regional investment needs, projected benefits (2.1:1 return), and identifies land restoration targets per country. The brief emphasizes the necessity of overcoming fragmentation through integrated action and provides tabulated LDN, NDC, and NBSAP targets for each Central Asian country.Item Methodological Guideline for Integrative Land-Biodiversity-Climate Action Analysis through Ecosystem Restoration: A case for the Economics of Land Degradation Initiative(Book, 2025-04) Mirzabaev, Alisher; Akramkhanov, Akmal; Umarova, Shakhzoda; Pede, ValerienThis methodological guide provides a framework for assessing, developing, and implementing integrative land-biodiversity-climate actions through ecosystem restoration. It focuses on leveraging synergies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of restoration activities. The guide highlights the need for coordinated action across the Rio Conventions to address land degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change under constrained financing. It aims to help policymakers and practitioners identify strategies that strengthen policy coherence, streamline processes, and optimize investments to achieve multiple sustainability goals.Item Introducing green investments into Colombia’s works-for-taxes mechanism: A peacebuilding project in Belén de los Andaquíes(Case Study, 2024-12) Castro Nunez, Augusto Carlos; Borda Almanza, Carlos Andrés; Amahnui, George Amenchwi; Vanegas Cubillos, Martha CristinaThe Bioversity-CIAT Alliance helped integrate green business projects into Colombia’s Works-for-Taxes mechanism, enabling investments in low-emission food systems through cocoa agroforestry in conflict-affected Belén de los Andaquíes. This model allows companies to offset taxes by investing in sustainable projects that replace illicit economies and restore land. The pilot’s success paves the way for expanding similar initiatives, increasing funding for low-emissions development in Colombian regions impacted by deforestation and conflict.Item Outcome Report. Agroecological Transitions: Inclusive Digital Tools (ATDT)(Report, 2025-02) Funk, Evelyn; Rassmann, Kornelia; Sette-Mosaner, Marcelo; Van Tuan, VuThe Agroecological Transitions: Digital Tools (ATDT) project (2022– 2024), led by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, aimed to promote inclusive digital innovation to support farmers and technical advisors in adopting climate-resilient agroecological practices at scale. The project targeted sustainable rice production in Vietnam and sustainable beef production in Brazil, while providing global guidance and lessons learned for broader application. This section presents ten key messages derived from the Outcome Harvesting evaluation of the ATDT project, offering a summary of its core findings, critical achievements, challenges, and lessons learned. These concise and accessible takeaways distill the essence of the study, highlighting the project’s success in advancing inclusive digital innovation. This format serves as an alternative to the traditional executive summary, enhancing the practical value of the evaluation report for a diverse range of users.Item Scaling for Impact Program: Full design document(Report, 2024-11-15) CGIAR Scaling for Impact Program
