DocumentFactsheetFortalecimiento de la adaptación de la agricultura al cambio climático en Uganda - GCP/UGA/041/EC 2017Uganda se ve muy afectada por el cambio climático. Ello se manifiesta a través de la sequía, las inundaciones y los deslizamientos de tierras, que han aumentado en los últimos decenios, especialmente la sequía. La economía del país y el bienestar de la población están estrechamente vinculados al ambiente natural, y, por tanto, son muy vulnerables al cambio climático. En este contexto, era necesario fortalecer la resiliencia de las poblaciones rurales, los criadores de ganado y los sistemas de pr oducción agrícola, y desarrollar la capacidad de las comunidades, los agricultores comerciales y el Gobierno de Uganda para hacer frente al cambio climático.

No results found.La presente nota de orientación explora el Enfoque de Reducción de Riesgo de Catástrofes basado en Ecosistemas. Se presta especial atención a las cadenas de valor sostenibles y a la gestión forestal participativa como un método eficaz para fortalecer la adaptación y la resiliencia al cambio climático. Se describe la experiencia del Parque Nacional Huascarán y zonas adyacentes en la implementación de medidas de Reducción de Riesgo de Catástrofes basado en Ecosistemas y los resultados obtenidos en el marco del proyecto “Mejora de la resiliencia de las comunidades al cambio climático en las cuencas hidrográficas de montaña”, financiado por la Agencia Forestal del Ministerio de Agricultura, Silvicultura y Pesca del Japón. En esta nota se resumen las actividades realizadas en el marco del proyecto y los resultados alcanzados, como ejemplo exitoso que demuestra la capacidad de adopción de medidas de reducción del riesgo de desastres en las cuencas de montaña del Perú, en un llamado a los líderes locales y regionales para que repliquen esta experiencia en otras comunidades y cuencas. -
DocumentFactsheetReducing the impacts of climate risk on livelihoods in Karamoja, Uganda - GCP/UGA/042/UK 2018Karamoja, Uganda is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate risks in the country. Drought is the main and recurrent natural disaster, whose effects are amplified by climate change. This affects crop production and pasture for livestock, and has a direct negative impact on the livelihoods of the rural population in the region. Against this background, it was crucial to strengthen the resilience of agropastoralcommunities and the local government in Karamoja, to reduce the impacts of climate risks on livelihoods in the region.

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 (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
