Book (stand-alone)ProceedingsProceedings of the International Workshop on Access and Benefit-sharing for Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture 2018
Also available in:
No results found.The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity has been hailed as a giant step towards the implementation of the third objective of the Convention: the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources, including by appropriate access to them. Implementing this third objective is intended to contribute to the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components – the other two objectives of the Convention. The International Workshop on Access and Benefit-Sharing for Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, held in January 2018, addressed one of the key challenges policy-makers face in the development and implementation of access and benefit-sharing measures: the obligation to consider, in the development and implementation of access and benefit-sharing measures, the importance of genetic resources for food and agriculture and their special role for food security. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookScope and Approach to World Forest Resource Appraisals 1977
Also available in:
No results found.This report argues the need for reliable statistical information about the world-s forests. It discusses the type of information needed, the work done so far in the field of International Forest Resources Appraisals, the difficulties in undertaking such appraisals, the limitations of present knowledge, methods hitherto used and methods that may be used in future appraisals . The most urgent task in thi s connection is to establish a World Forest Resources Data Bank. The main message of the repor t is that little is known about the world-s forest resources. Improvements are needed at the national level since international statistics must basically rely on national statistics. -
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. -
