GM/ICTSD SLM & Trade Paper, now available
3 May, 2007
The GM/ICTSD co-authored background paper Promoting Sustainable Land Management through Trade: Examining the Linkages between Trade, Livelihoods and Sustainable Land Management in Degraded Areas, is now available online.
This paper is the result of desk research and of discussions held during the exploratory dialogue on building an enabling environment for increasing investment in SLM through market access and trade, held in Geneva in February 2007.
The paper aims to:
- identify direct and indirect linkages between trade policies and rules, SLM and livelihoods in arid areas, focusing on agricultural trade
- identify the potential of alternative livelihoods to enhance sustainable use of land and natural resources by looking at the case of natural products
- highlight relevant policy instruments, mechanisms and tools for enhancing SLM through trade.
