ProjectFactsheetDeveloping Organizational Capacity for Ecosystem Stewardship and Livelihoods in Caribbean Small-Scale Fisheries (StewardFish) - GCP/SLC/211/GFF 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The Developing Organizational Capacity for Ecosystem Stewardship and Livelihoods in Caribbean Small Scale Fisheries ( StewardFish ) project recognized that there were a number of challenges hindering the engagement of fisherfolk and their organizations in the sustainable management of fisheries in the Caribbean region, including limited capacity of fisherfolk organizations to participate effectively in fisheries governance; insufficient capacity and knowledge of ecosystem stewardship practices for fisheries sustainability among fisherfolk ; inadequate public awareness of ecosystem approaches to support best practices and ensure compliance; inadequate documentation of successful experiences and practices for sustainable fisheries livelihood strategies; and inadequate management and collaboration mechanisms to support fisherfolk leaders in monitoring and evaluating projects. In addressing these constraints, the project supported the implementation of the ten year Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for the Sustainable Management of the Shared Living Marine Resources of the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems (CLME+) in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines by empowering fisherfolk throughout fisheries value chains to engage in resource management, decision making processes and sustainable livelihoods, with strengthened institutional support at all levels. -
ProjectFactsheetWorkshop on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing in Caribbean - GCP/SLC/012/EC 2019
Also available in:
No results found.In the Western Central Atlantic region, illegal, unreported andunregulated fishing represents between 20 and 30 percent oflegitimate landings of fish, with an estimated value of from USD 700to 930 million per year. The high demand for fish, the substantialeconomic benefits derived from IUU fishing, the Exclusive EconomicZones of many Caribbean states and inadequate monitoring, controland surveillance (MCS) systems make the region particularlyvulnerable to IUU fishing. Recognizing the need to create a workinggroup on MCS and IUU fishing, WECAFC collaborated with CRFM ina concerted effort to combat IUU fishing. The project was designedto support the second meeting of the Regional Working Group onIllegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (RWG-IUU), establishedby WECAFC and aimed at improving coordination and cooperationamong national organizations and institutions in support of theircommon efforts to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. -
ProjectFactsheetIncreasing the Availability of Essential Information for Fisheries Management in the Caribbean - GCP/SLC/014/EC 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The project responded to an urgent need expressed at the 14th and 15th sessions of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (in 2012 and 2014, respectively) to increase the availability of essential information for fisheries management. This was to be achieved through interagency/ interinstitutional and interproject collaboration in the wider Caribbean region on fisheries, aquaculture and related issues, building on the comparative advantages of each, in support of responsible development and management of the sector. The specific objectives of this project were to ( i ) begin the operations of the transversal Working Group on Fisheries Data and Statistics by firmly establishing it and supporting its first meeting, (ii) endorse a set of minimum data requirements and standards and identification of pipeline ones and (iii) create a functional Regional Database prototype targeting the five main regionally shared stocks (spiny lobster, queen conch, flying fish, billfish and shrimp and groundfish ) and their fisheries.

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. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.
