Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Book (stand-alone)Guideline自愿准则 支持在国家粮食安全范围内 逐步实现充足食物权的
由 2004 年 11 月举行的 粮农组织理事会第一二七届会议通过
2005自愿准则》是各国政府解释经济、社会和文化权利并建议为落实这些权利而采取行动的首次尝试。《自愿准则》的目的是为各国在国家粮食 安全范围内逐步落实充足食物权提供实际指导，以便实现《世界粮食首脑 会议行动计划》的目标。相关的利益相关方也可以从这些指导中受益。《自愿准则》包含各国政府在国家一级需要考虑的各种行动，以便为人民有尊严地养活自己营造一种有利的环境以及为那些无力这样做的人民建立适当的安全网。《自愿准则》可用于加强和改进现有发展框架，尤其是有关社会和人文因素方面，更坚定地将人民的权益作为发展的核心。正如联合国秘书长在联合国改革中所呼吁的那样，《自愿准则》是在将人权纳入粮农组织等处理粮食和农业的机构的工作方面迈出的一步。这些准则为战胜饥饿和贫困以及加速实现《千年发展目标》提供了一个额外的手段。粮农组织决心在成员国的帮助下加强其能力，协助有意愿的国家政府实施《自愿准则》。本组织期待与希望对减贫采取以权利为基础的方针及有兴趣通过实施《自愿准则》在国家粮食安全范围内逐步落实充足食物
