Book (series)Technical reportLegal and institutional aspects of management arrangements for shared stocks with reference to small pelagics in Northwest Africa. / Aspects légaux et institutionnels de l’aménagement des stocks partagés: cas des poissons pélagiques côtiers de la région nord-ouest africaine. 2003

No results found.The present report, following a short introductory section, continues with three major sections. The first reviews and provides a comparative analysis of 39 international arrangements dealing with matters relating to the management of shared stocks. The analysis compares various aspects ranging from the scope of such arrangements to the institutional settings as well as the decision-making processes. A second section reviews existing multilateral arrangements covering the Northwest Africa regio n, and in particular arrangements including The Gambia, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal. The aspects of the analyses made in the previous section that would be appropriate for cooperative arrangements among the coastal States of the Northwest African region are identified and options for funding of management arrangements are outlined. The last section of the report draws attention to possible options for cooperative arrangements among the four States listed, and possible themes for such coopera tion. -

No results found.The objectives of the workshop were to examine the implications of national and joint management of shared stocks, to explore possible ways to achieve sustainable management of shared stocks for the benefit of coastal countries and to suggest the way forward for a regional management system. As a general recommendation the group suggests to support the current FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagics in Northwest Africa. This group should be furthered and strengthened in order to maintain a high level of resource assessment studies in the coming years and the long-term future. Fisheries Scientific Institutes should identify research priorities and seek national budgetary allocationsto sustain long-term research. Countries should develop national management plans in support of a future joint regional management system. -

No results found.This is the report of a regional workshop organised under the EAF-Nansen Programme “Supporting the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management considering climate and pollution impacts”. The workshop took place at the premises of the National Fisheries Research Institute (Institut National de Recherche Halieutique - INRH) in Casablanca, Morocco from 5 to 7 May 2017. The main objectives of the workshop were to determine regional priorities within the research themes of the EAF-Nansen Programme science plan, identify specific research that could be carried out collaboratively and to review objectives of the 2017 R/V Dr Fridtjof Nansen survey in Northwest Africa. Ce document est le rapport d'un atelier régional organisé dans le cadre du Programme EAF-Nansen «Appuyer l'application de l'approche écosystémique de la gestion des pêches en tenant compte des impacts du climat et de la pollution». L'atelier s'est déroulé à l'Institut national de recherche halieutique (INRH) à Casablanca, au Maroc, du 5 au 7 mai 2017. Les principaux objectifs de l'atelier étaient de déterminer les priorités régionales au niveau des thèmes de recherche du plan scientifique du Programme EAF-Nansen, d’identifier les travaux de recherche spécifiques qui pourraient être menés en collaboration et d’examiner les objectifs de la campagne 2017 du N/R Dr Fridtjof Nansen en Afrique du Nord-Ouest.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
Building climate resilience for food security and nutrition
2018New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting. Last year’s report showed that the failure to reduce world hunger is closely associated with the increase in conflict and violence in several parts of the world. In some countries, initial evidence showed climate-related events were also undermining food security and nutrition. This year’s report goes further to show that climate variability and extremes – even without conflict – are key drivers behind the recent rise in global hunger and one of the leading causes of severe food crises and their impact on people’s nutrition and health. Climate variability and exposure to more complex, frequent and intense climate extremes are threatening to erode and reverse gains in ending hunger and malnutrition. Furthermore, hunger is significantly worse in countries where agriculture systems are highly sensitive to rainfall, temperature and severe drought, and where the livelihood of a high proportion of the population depends on agriculture. The findings of this report reveal new challenges to ending hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition. There is an urgent need to accelerate and scale up actions that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity of people and their livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. These and other findings are detailed in the 2018 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
