DocumentOther documentL’action de la FAO face au changement climatique: Élevage & changements climatiques 2016
Also available in:
Les petits éleveurs, les pêcheurs et les pasteurs font partie des populations les plus vulnérables aux changements climatiques. Les changements climatiques ont sur l'élevage non seulement un impact direct (par exemple, avec le stress thermique et l'augmentation de la morbidité et de la mortalité) mais aussi un impact indirect (par exemple, au niveau de la qualité et la disponibilité des aliments et des fourrages, et au niveau des maladies animales). Dans le même temps, le secteur de l'élevage co ntribue de manière significative aux changements climatiques. En effet, 14,5 pour cent des gaz à effet de serre (GES) d'origine anthropique proviennent des chaînes d'approvisionnement de l'élevage. Cela représente 7,1 gigatonnes (Gt) d'équivalent dioxyde de carbone (éq.-CO2) par an. -

Les sols jouent un rôle essentiel dans le cycle du carbone
2015Les sols sains constituent le plus grand réservoir de carbone sur la terre. Quand ils sont gérés de façon durable, les sols peuvent jouer un rôle important en faveur de l’atténuation du changement climatique, en stockant le carbone (séquestration) et en diminuant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans l’atmosphère. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyActions climatiques dans le secteur de l’élevage au Burkina Faso
Améliorer les contributions déterminées au niveau national pour un avenir durable
2023Also available in:
No results found.Le Burkina Faso s'est engagé à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre de 29 pour cent d'ici 2030, par rapport aux scénarios de statu quo, grâce à sa contribution déterminée au niveau national (CDN). Bien que l'agriculture et l'élevage aient été identifiés comme des sources d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre, les mesures d'atténuation et d'adaptation spécifiques à l'élevage sont sous-représentées dans les actions climatiques nationales actuelles du Burkina Faso. Cette étude analyse les politiques climatiques et d'élevage du Burkina Faso afin de déterminer leur alignement avec la CDN et de fournir des recommandations pour l'élaboration de politiques. Les résultats de cette étude ont été validés lors d'un atelier national multi-acteurs en juillet 2022, qui a réuni gouvernements, secteurs privés, organisations de producteurs et organisations non étatiques.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2019
Safeguarding against economic slowdowns and downturns
2019This year’s report presents evidence that the absolute number of people who suffer from hunger continues to slowly increase. The report also highlights that food insecurity is more than just hunger. For the first time, the report provides evidence that many people in the world, even if not hungry, experience moderate food insecurity as they face uncertainties about their ability to obtain food and are forced to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of the food they consume. This phenomenon is observed globally, not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in high income countries. The report also shows that the world is not on track to meet global nutrition targets, including those on low birthweight and on reducing stunting among children under five years. Moreover, overweight and obesity continue to increase in all regions, particularly among school-age children and adults. The report stresses that no region is exempt from the epidemic of overweight and obesity, underscoring the necessity of multifaceted, multisectoral approaches to halt and reverse these worrying trends. In light of the fragile state of the world economy, the report presents new evidence confirming that hunger has been on the rise for many countries where the economy has slowed down or contracted. Unpacking the links between economic slowdowns and downturns and food insecurity and malnutrition, the report contends that the effects of the former on the latter can only be offset by addressing the root causes of hunger and malnutrition: poverty, inequality and marginalization. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018 (SOFIA)
Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
