The COP15 side event will launch the fourth phase of the Community Development and Knowledge Management for the Satoyama Initiative (COMDEKS) implemented by the UNDP through the GEF Small Grants Programme, with funding from the Ministry of the Environment Japan (MOEJ), the Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund (KNCF), and cofinancing from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

The side event will highlight the enduring relevance of the Satoyama Initiative to the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), and the contribution of the initiative to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Satoyama Initiative is a global effort to advance the concept of “socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes” (SEPLS) for nature and human well-being. The International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) was established in 2010 during the 10th Conference of the Parties (CBD COP10), and now consists of nearly 300 governmental, NGO, academic, private sector, and other member organizations. Its core vision is to realize societies in harmony with nature, built on positive human-nature relationships.

In line with the vision of the Post-2020 GBF, restoring humanity’s relationship with nature is urgently needed to achieve a green and healthy recovery to multiple planetary crises. The side event will focus on the roles of local actions and partnerships in landscape and seascape approaches to ecosystem restoration, including a number of other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), for the promotion of sustainable development in a socially inclusive and effective manner.

The side event will include representatives from MoEJ, KNCF, SCBD, UNDP, GEF, national governments and local stakeholders. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss key lessons from the first three phases of COMDEKS, implemented in twenty countries across all regions, and explore means of upscaling and mainstreaming these lessons into global and national policy through the 4^th Phase of the COMDEKS, IPSI and contribute to the commitment of the Post-2020 GBF.

	Communities in Action for Landscape Resilience and Sustainability: The COMDEKS Programme The Community Development and Knowledge Management for the Satoyama Initiative Programme (COMDEKS) was launched in 2011 as the flagship programme of the Satoyama Initiative, a global effort to promote sustainable use of natural resources in the landscapes worked in and relied upon by rural communities. Funded by the Japan Biodiversity Fund, the Programme is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MOEJ), the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (SCBD), and the United Nations University—Institute of Advanced Studies of Sustainability (UNU-IAS). Grants are delivered through the GEF Small Grants Programme in each country, allowing for a fast, flexible, and proven mechanism to reach communities and civil society at the local level. Small grants are provided to local community organizations with the overall long-term objective to enhance resilience of socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) by developing sound biodiversity management and sustainable livelihood activities with local communities to maintain, rebuild, and revitalize landscapes. Since SEPLS are the repository of much of the world’s crop genetic diversity and biodiversity outside of parks and protected areas, their health is critical to attaining local and global conservation goals and maintaining local crop varieties. Local land use also plays a significant role in climate change mitigation through its effects on carbon storage in soils and biomass,and is equally significant in the success of local climate change adaptation strategies. Since its inception in 2011, the COMDEKS landscape management approach has been implemented in target landscapes in 20 countries spread over two phases: Brazil, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Fiji, Ghana, India, Malawi, Nepal, Slovakia, and Turkey (phase 1), and Bhutan, Cameroon, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Namibia, and Niger (phase 2). satoyama-comdeks.html	socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS)
