FOREWORD

FOREWORDMESSAGE FROMIPSI DIRECTOR

I am very pleased to be able to share this annual reportwhich details IPSI’s main activities from April 2021 to March
2022.
In 2011, when the first IPSI General Assembly was held at
Nagoya University, the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake
and Tsunami Disaster occurred, and severe natural
disasters have also struck all over the world. In addition,
the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020 has had a tremendous
impact on our lives. More than ever, there is a strong needto create a resilient and sustainable society that is noteasily affected by natural disasters and infectious diseases.
I believe that the experience we have accumulated
in activities on SEPLS and the concept of landscapeapproaches can be of great help in promoting such asustainable society.
The kick-off event of the UN Decade on Ecosystem
Restoration was held on the occasion of the World
Environment Day on 5 June 2021. In November of the same
year, UNU became a formal Collaborating Agency of the
UN Decade.

Since then, IPSI has mobilized a large network of members
to produce knowledge and co-create solutions to enhancecommunity-based restoration of SEPLS, working in close
cooperation with the Science and Best Practices Task
Forces of the UN Decade.
In addition, the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework
under the CBD is expected to be adopted later this year.
In response to these important international momentums,
IPSI’s Strategy and Plan of Action is being revised. Building
upon the lessons learned from the great efforts on the
ground by IPSI members over the past decade, it is now
time to consider how to institutionalize the concept of
SEPLS. With the knowledge shared by IPSI’s members on
their research on SEPLS, the Satoyama Initiative has many
lessons to share with the world on ecosystem restoration
and biodiversity conservation.
I look forward to working with you all to further develop
IPSI’s activities towards “living in harmony with nature” inthe coming decade.

DR TSUNAO WATANABE

OVERVIEW

April 2021 - March 2022

The 2021 fiscal year (April 2021 – March 2022) was theeleventh full year since IPSI was launched in October 2010,
and this year the partnership saw its membership growto 283 organisations. Together they worked toward theSatoyama Initiative’s vision of “societies in harmony withnature” through many different activities in all regions of
the world.
This was a year of unprecedented challenges for the world
with the global COVID-19 pandemic severely impacting
our partners and their activities. IPSI postponed its plan
to hold the Ninth Global Conference (IPSI-9) yet remained
active at major events. The Convention on Biological
Diversity held in-person and online meetings, and IPSI
contributed to the process of developing the post-2020
global biodiversity framework, as well as organised andtook part in other events held virtually, including theInternational Day for Biological Diversity 2021 Symposium,
FAO-RAP webinar on International Day for Biological
Diversity, a side event on the Satoyama Initiative at the UN
High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development(HLPF) 2021, and the International Forum for Sustainable
Asia and the Pacific (ISAP) 2021 Thematic Track Session.
The seventh volume of the “Satoyama Initiative Thematic
Review” on the theme Biodiversity-Health-Sustainability
Nexus in Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes
6and Seascapes (SEPLS) will be published by Springer
Publishing in June 2022, following the virtual IPSI Case
Study workshop held in June 2021. This next instalmentof the SITR series will contribute to the growing bodyof knowledge on landscape approaches and to related
international processes including the Intergovernmental
Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem
Services (IPBES).
The IPSI Steering Committee had three meetings, in Julyand December 2021. The July 2021 meeting was emailbased, and the December 2021 session was held virtually.
A sub-committee was established to update the IPSIStrategy and Plan of Action to prepare the partnership forthis decade.
As always, we at the IPSI Secretariat at the United
Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of
Sustainability (UNU-IAS) in Tokyo, Japan would like tothank all of the IPSI member organisations and everyone
else who has contributed to the continuing success of thepartnership, with particular appreciation to the Ministryof the Environment, Government of Japan (MOEJ) for theirfinancial support for IPSI’s core activities.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTSEVENT HIGHLIGHTSIPSI’s diverse membership, as always, continues to be involved in a great many events around the world. Below is a list ofsome that were either specifically organized on behalf of IPSI, or were otherwise particularly relevant to the partnership.

IPSI Case Study Workshop 2021
28-30 June 2021: This workshop was held online aspart of the process towards publishing the Satoyama
Initiative Thematic Review Volume 7. The theme of
the workshop was “The nexus between biodiversity,
health, and sustainable development in managing
socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes(SEPLS)”. The primary focus was on the interlinkages
between biodiversity and multiple dimensions of health—physical, mental, and spiritual. Selected authors, who are
IPSI members, shared their case studies and received
feedback on their manuscripts from their peers for further
improvement. Participants exchanged views on theconcept of the nexus between biodiversity, health, andsustainable development and discussed methodologies
to measure the effectiveness of SEPLS management insecuring and improving both ecosystem and human healthby taking lessons from the IPSI case studies. An online
platform was developed for comments and exchanging
views among participants. Discussion sessions led to thedevelopment of key messages and later to the Synthesis
chapters. The SITR vol.7 will be published in June 2022 bySpringer Publishing. For details of the workshop, see here.

UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable
Development (HLPF) Side event on the Satoyama
Initiative
9 July 2021: This online side event titled “Satoyama
Initiative – Healthy Planet, Healthy People: Role ofSatoyama Initiative for Green and Blue Recovery”
explored the role of the Satoyama Initiative in buildingback better from the COVID-19 pandemic. Speakers
emphasised the need for a green and blue recovery,
underlining that the COVID-19 pandemic had affected
every aspect of life and that solutions were all around us,
in nature. Key lessons were presented from the network’s
programmes, including Community Development &Knowledge Management for the Satoyama Initiative(COMDEKS), for institutionalising landscape and seascapeapproaches in national and sub-national policies.
8

Experiences from Ecuador, Fiji, Niger, Turkey, andViet Nam were shared during the event and created aspace for beneficial knowledge sharing and exchangesof localised best practices for applying landscape andseascape approaches to living in harmony with nature.
The event was co-organised by the Institute for Global
Environmental Strategies (IGES); the Ministry of theEnvironment, Government of Japan; the CBD Secretariat;
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); Global
Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP);
and UNU-IAS. For details about the event, see here.

International Forum for Sustainable Asia and thePacific (ISAP) 2021 Thematic Track Session on the
Satoyama Initiative
2 December 2021: The session titled, “LandscapeApproaches for Biodiversity, Climate Change andSustainable Development Co-benefits” was held online
as a Thematic Track Session of ISAP 2021 in partnershipwith UNU-IAS and the Institute for Global Environmental
Strategies (IGES). The session presented two case studies
from IPSI members World Agroforestry Centre and
VICAM: Vicuñas, Camélidos y Ambiente, with experiencein socioecological production landscapes and seascapes(SEPLS). The World Agroforestry Centre presented the firstcase study, providing insights from Sumatra, Indonesia
on enhancing adaptation for improving upland livelihoodand landscape. The second case study, “South American
Camelids as biocultural components in the Andean
Altiplano of Argentina”, was delivered by VICAM. The workof the Satoyama Initiative was highlighted for providing
a platform to share data and case studies gatheredby members through first-hand experience. For more

The Community Development and Knowledge
Management for the Satoyama Initiative (COMDEKS)
The Community Development and Knowledge
Management for the Satoyama Initiative (COMDEKS) was
launched in 2011 as an IPSI flagship. COMDEKS is a uniqueglobal programme, funded by the Japan Biodiversity
Fund, implemented by the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the Ministryof the Environment Government of Japan (MOEJ), theSecretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity(SCBD), and the United Nations University-Institute ofAdvanced Studies of Sustainability (UNU-IAS). Designed
to be community driven, it supports local community
activities to maintain and rebuild SEPLS. Working
through the Global Environmental Facility Small Grants
Programme (GEF-SGP), of UNDP, COMDEKS provides small
grants to local community organisations to develop soundbiodiversity management and sustainable livelihood
activities in order to maintain, rebuild, and revitalize
SEPLS. The project collects and distributes knowledge
and experiences from successful on-the-ground actions
for replication and upscaling in other parts of the world.
COMDEKS grant making is expected to generate key
lessons on community-based best practices to maintainand rebuild SEPLS toward the realization of “societies
in harmony with nature”, as defined as the vision of theSatoyama Initiative.

COMDEKS completed its third phase, running from 2020
to March 2022. SCBD, UNDP, and MOEJ agreed in 2019
to the extension. Albeit the COVID-19 pandemic affected
the project’s timeline and plans, capacity development
projects promoting institutional and financial
sustainability of SEPLS were conducted in 10 countries:
Bhutan, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador,
Ghana, Fiji, Mongolia, Niger and Turkey.
COMDEKS 3 has been able to promote active knowledge
sharing through the organization of a series of nationaland sub-national virtual and in-person hybrid policy
dialogues for sustainability and best practices on
SEPLS. Lessons learned from the implementation of
COMDEKS Phase 3 were compiled into a report thatwill be disseminated through the global network of 127
country programmes participating in the GEF Small Grants
Programme, IPSI, and other partners worldwide. The
report will highlight how SEPLS can be considered in Other
Effective area Based Conservation Measure (OECMs).

Descriptions of these IPSI Collaborative Activities, proposal
forms, and reports of completed activities can be found on
the IPSI website Collaborative Activities page here.

KNOWLEDGE PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTSKNOWLEDGE PRODUCTHIGHLIGHTSIPSI and its members produced a large number of publications and other knowledge products related to furthering knowledge related to
SEPLS during the year. A few highlights were:

Policy Briefs
In partnership with its host, the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS),
the IPSI Secretariat published two policy briefs in 2021.
•

Transformative Change for Sustainability: Nurturing Seeds ofChange in Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes & Seascapes
The brief provides recommendations for advancing transformativechange in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes(SEPLS) — areas where sustainable production activities andresource management can result in societies in harmony withnature. The brief identifies effective methodologies, building on
local innovations fostered through adaptive co-management,
to build social-ecological resilience and advance global agendas
including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the2050 Vision for Biodiversity. This publication offers three guiding
principles for policymakers and other stakeholders to promotetransformative change, by taking advantage of “seeds of change”
for sustainability that are growing in landscapes and seascapes. It
is authored by UNU-IAS researchers and IPSI Secretariat members
Maiko Nishi, Suneetha M. Subramanian, and Himangana Gupta.
The policy brief is available for download from UNU Collections.
Please go here.
•

Resilience in Landscapes & Seascapes: Building Back Betterfrom COVID-19
The brief provides recommendations for strengthening resiliencein landscapes and seascapes to facilitate transformative recovery
from crises such as COVID-19 through green recovery. It draws
from experiences and lessons learned in applying the Indicators ofResilience in Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes(SEPLS), an assessment tool developed by UNU-IAS, Bioversity
International, Institute for Global Environment Strategies, and theUnited Nations Development Programme under IPSI as part of a
Collaborative Activity. The brief is authored by Maiko Nishi, Yoji
Natori, and Devon R. Dublin. It is based on research conducted aspart of the UNU-IAS programme Biodiversity & Society, engaging
members of the International Partnership for the Satoyama
Initiative (IPSI) and other experts from across the globe.
