Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO Green City principles and criteria
A pathway for defining, activating and recognizing integrated urban action
2025Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Green Cities Principles and Criteria establish a framework to guide cities on their pathway toward becoming greener, healthier and more resilient. The framework translates the shared FAO Green City vision into enabling criteria that help cities assess readiness, track progress, mobilize finance and engage citizens in shaping inclusive and sustainable urban environments. Building on the FAO Green Cities Initiative and its three pillars, namely, urban and peri-urban forestry, urban and peri-urban agriculture, and sustainable bioeconomy, it provides mayors and local administrations with both a reference and a pathway for action to advance toward recognition as an FAO Green City. The aim is to align stakeholders, inspire long-term commitment, and accelerate sustainable urban development where people, ecosystems and the economy thrive together. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPromoting sustainable and circular bioeconomy through agriculture practice in Eastern Europe and Central Asia 2023
Also available in:
This report presents an overview of concepts related to bioeconomy and the benefits of their implementation in agriculture and shares agriculture production trends, bioeconomy initiatives and sustainable agriculture approaches from throughout the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region. It provides a canvas for the consideration of potential policies and initiatives that can support the development of sustainable agriculture approaches, adapted to each country, and the promotion of bioeconomy in agriculture practice in the region. Sustainable agriculture approaches – particularly organic production and climate-smart farming – are steadily gaining ground in the region. Bioenergy has significant untapped potential, and agroforestry and pastoralist activities also present important unused opportunities, given the low levels of investment needed for their implementation. -
Book (stand-alone)Bioeconomy for sustainable food and agriculture: a global opportunity
Position paper
2024Also available in:
No results found.This paper has been prepared by FAO to inform the current discussions on bioeconomy including in the G20 Initiative on Bioeconomy (GIB). It focuses specifically on how bioeconomy can ensure food security and nutrition and, at the same time, on the need to transform agrifood systems to advance the sustainable development of the bioeconomy.Global coordination and cooperation are an integral part of sustainable bioeconomy development. There is a need to implement agreed principles, criteria and monitoring systems that jointly address all dimensions of sustainability, to balance the trade-offs that can lead to the unsustainable implementation of the bioeconomy. Multilateral institutions have an important role to play in tailoring these sustainable bioeconomy tools and guidelines in different contexts globally, while providing a neutral platform where all countries and stakeholders have a central role in shaping the future bioeconomy. In this context the paper also contributes to the discussions around a set of High-Level Principles on Bioeconomy at the GIB. It presents an overview of FAO’s work on bioeconomy, resources and networks, and provides lessons learned and recommendations for both G20 Members and globally.
