Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureContributions to the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework resulting from the partnership between FAO and the GEF in support of Latin American and Caribbean countries
Target 07: Reduce pollution to levels that are not harmful to biodiversity
2024Also available in:
Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the objectives of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been instrumental in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biodiversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Target 07 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Reduce pollution to levels that are not detrimental to biodiversity.An important part of this target is linked to the use of pesticides, and in this context significant progress has been reported in Caribbean countries and Uruguay. -

Target 05: Ensure sustainable, safe and legal harvesting and trade of wild species
2025Also available in:
Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the goals of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been essential in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biological diversity is rich but under threat. FAO has worked alongside local governments, community organizations, and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity but also promote sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Target 5 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Ensure sustainable, safe and legal harvesting and trade of wild species.Valuable contributions have been made in Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ecuador, Bolivia, Grenada, Mexico, Venezuela, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSoluciones ganaderas para el cambio climático 2018
Also available in:
Folleto técnico sobre soluciones para el cambio climático en el sector ganadero, con ejemplos de trabajo de la FAO, para apoyar eventos paralelos en la COP 23 de la CMNUCC. La ganadería es una parte esencial de la acción climática sobre el terreno en los sectores agrícolas. Noventa y dos países en desarrollo han incluido la ganadería en sus Contribuciones Determinadas a Nivel Nacional (CDN). Es necesario hacer más ya que el sector ganadero está creciendo rápidamente. La ganadería contribuye con el 34% de las proteínas globales para la nutrición humana. Pero su contribución a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición va más allá de esta cifra. Proporcionan una diversidad de micronutrientes esenciales y muchos bienes y servicios que son fundamentales para los medios de subsistencia de los pastores y la mayoría de los pequeños agricultores. Cientos de millones de personas vulnerables dependen de la ganadería para enfrentar el cambio climático. Las emisiones de la producción ganadera se pueden reducir sustancialmente mediante: • El mejoramiento de la eficiencia en el uso de los recursos naturales para reducir la intensidad de las emisiones; • El incremento del carbono del suelo en pasturas y biomasa al mejorar el manejo del pastoreo; • La reducción de las emisiones integrando mejor la ganadería en la economía circular (bio-economía) (por ejemplo, subproductos y desechos). -

Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability.
