Synopsis (short abstract) La population mondiale vit en grande partie dans les zones côtières et a tendance à s'y concentrer continuellement. La santé, le bien-être et, dans certains cas, la survie même des populations côtières dépendent de la salubrité et du bon état des systèmes côtiers, notamment les estuaires, les zones humides côtières, les bassins hydrographiques et versants associés, et les eaux côtières proches des rivages. Pour être durables, les activités exercées par l'homme dans les zones côtières doivent s'a ppuyer sur un milieu marin écologiquement sain. Le littoral subit une pression urbaine considérable. Il concentre les agglomérations urbaines les plus importantes des pays et près de 80% des travailleurs permanents de secteurs divers d’activité (industrie, tourisme, agriculture etc.). Il représente un important pôle d’attraction pour différentes activités touristiques, industrielles et commerciales et fait l’objet d’une forte spéculation foncière et un lieu d’urbanisation anarchique provoquant s a dégradation et entrainant ainsi la pollution de nombreux de ses sites. Les principaux risques qui pèsent sur la santé et la productivité du milieu marin/côtier résultent ainsi des activités menées par l'homme sur terre (zones côtières et intérieur des pays). Ce phénomène est observable à l’échelle mondiale.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.

    The Expert Consultation Meeting (ECM) on Food Losses and Waste Reduction in the Near East Region: Towards a Regional Comprehensive Strategy was held in Sharm ElSheikh, Egypt during 18 and 19 December 2013.The ECM was attended by 27 experts including policy makers dealing with food security issues in the region; academicians, researchers and other experts dealing with the main pillars of food losses and waste; senior officials from Government Ministries and agencies; private-sector, civil society and non-governmental organizations; UN and bilateral agencies. The purpose and aims of the ECM were to: i. Scan the current situation of food losses and food waste in countries of the region, with a view towards developing a regional strategy to combat the problem within the framework of broader strategies to improve food security, i. Promote sharing of information on best practices and experiences relating to policies targeting food loss and waste reduction in the different facets of the chain , ii. Develop concrete mechanisms between countries for sharing knowledge on minimizing food losses and waste across the region, iii. Identify mechanisms to provide incentives and promote investments in the domain of food loss and waste reduction, iv. In coordination and cooperation between decision makers and experts, identify and disseminate innovative strategies for integrating food losses and waste reduction strategies as a component of food security strategies in countries of the region, v. Recommend a plan of action to reduce food losses and waste.
