Book (series)Technical studyClasificación y definición ilustrada de los artes de pesca 2022El presente documento elabora la Clasificación estadística internacional uniforme de las artes de pesca (CEIUAP) revisada, aprobada y adoptada para su implementación por el Grupo Coordinador de Trabajo sobre Estadísticas de Pesca de la FAO (CWP), en su 25.a Reunión en febrero de 2016 en Roma (Italia). La clasificación se aplica a la pesca comercial, de subsistencia y recreativa en las pesquerías marinas y de agua dulce. El documento proporciona definiciones e ilustraciones de la configuración y el modo de funcionamiento de las artes de pesca comunes. Su objetivo principal es ayudar a los Miembros de la FAO, los organismos regionales de pesca, así como a quienes trabajan en estadísticas y ordenación pesquera, a atribuir y notificar correctamente las capturas pesqueras realizadas por diferentes tipos de artes de pesca. El documento también contribuye a prevenir, desalentar y eliminar la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada (pesca INDNR), proporcionando al personal de seguimiento, control y vigilancia información para identificar el tipo de arte de pesca con respecto a la licencia y la autorización para realizar las operaciones de pesca. Por último, el documento también proporciona contexto y referencias para algunos problemas contemporáneos de conservación relacionados con los principales tipos de artes de pesca; por tanto, estudiantes e investigadores en pesca y conservación marina puede utilizarlo como texto de referencia.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
