Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEnhancing transparency in the agriculture, forestry and other land use sector for tracking nationally determined contribution implementation in Mongolia 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This is the third document in a series of case studies by member countries of the Thematic Working Group on Agriculture, Food Security and Land Use (TWG), under the NDC-Partnership. The aim is to present what countries are doing to tackle climate change and implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This case study examines the importance of transparency in the implementation and monitoring of Nationally Determined Contributions and how improved monitoring and reporting systems are key to better address climate change impacts on the AFOLU sector. Practical examples are presented from the CBIT-AFOLU project in Mongolia led by FAO, which started in early 2019 and is expected to run until 2022. -

ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Soil Analysis and Information Systems to Enhance Sustainable Soil Management and Support Evidence-Based Decision Making in Liberia - TCP/LIR/3804 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Agricultural land in Liberia (around 5.4 percent of the area) is divided into swamps and forests, and a third of it is under permanent crops plantation. Even though it was assumed that swamps were better suited for rice crops, there was very little knowledge about the soils properties and potential to improve the number of crops or the yields quality and quantity. The country was also lacking some appropriate technologies and capacities to support sustainable land-use programmes. Although some work on data collection had been done in the past, after a long civil crisis and several development challenges, Liberia still counted on limited available data to implement an efficient agricultural plan. By increasing national capacities in soil analysis and implementing better practices for the sustainable use of the land, the project was aligned with the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) policies. Furthermore, by addressing key technical concerns about climate change and the agricultural sector, the project provided strong support to the government programmes and initiatives, which entailed two relevant changes of context: (i) incorporating sustainable land management techniques for sustainable farming, and (ii) new institutional and agricultural frameworks to draw attention from multiple stakeholders, thus promoting the allocation of further financial resources to develop all environmental areas.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2025 2025FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2025, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The results of FRA 2025 are available in several formats, including this report, an interactive story on key findings and an online database at https://fra-data.fao.org.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -
