BookletHigh-profileGuidance note: Risk communication and community engagement
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
2020Information is a form of assistance in itself. Access to accurate information can allow people to make informed decisions to protect themselves. Moreover, understanding drivers of behaviour and integrating that understanding into communication approaches can make information more likely to result in desired action. Preparedness and response activities should be based on protection and related “do no harm” principles and conducted in a participatory manner that is informed by community feedback. Communication efforts must respond to stakeholder concerns, mis/disinformation and behavioral factors. Transparent and consistent messaging in local languages through trusted channels can help address barriers to change. Furthermore, by using community-based networks, engaging key influencers and building local capacities, communication can more effectively mitigate risks to more efficiently establish the authority and trust required to rapidly mount responses. Hence, Risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) refers to the processes and approaches to systematically consult, engage and communicate with communities who are at risk, or whose practices affect risk. The aim is to encourage, enable and include stakeholders in the prevention of and response to risks by adapting communication to local realities. In the case of COVID-19, RCCE enables authorities and communities to work together to promote healthy behaviour and reduce the risk of spreading infectious diseases. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed this guidance note to support Pillar IV of the country-level activities under the framework of FAO’s component of the Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19: “Ensuring food supply chain actors are not at risk of COVID 19 transmission” through risk communication and community engagement (RCCE), together with the World Health Organization (WHO) and national authorities. In alignment with the Organization’s commitments on Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), this guidance note aims to support country offices in designing and implementing inclusive RCCE initiatives. -
Policy briefPolicy briefNote d’orientation Programme de gestion durable de la faune sauvage (Sustainable Wildlife Management «SWM» Programme) – Reconstruire en mieux dans un monde post-covid-19
réduire les risques de propagation de maladies à l’homme liés à la faune sauvage
2020Also available in:
Nous devons tirer les leçons de cette pandémie, afin de mieux comprendre les causes profondes des zoonoses, de prévenir les futures épidémies et de soutenir une reprise verte afin de «reconstruire en mieux». Environ 70 pour cent des maladies infectieuses émergentes et presque toutes les épidémies récentes ont pour origine des animaux, en particulier des animaux sauvages (par exemple le virus Ebola, le virus Lassa, l’hantavirus et le virus de l’immunodéficience humaine). Les recherches indiquent que les foyers de maladies d’origine animale sont en augmenta on, principalement en raison de la dégradation de l’environnement et de l’intensification de la production et du commerce du bétail. Les interactions entre l'homme, la faune et le bétail augmentent à mesure que les populations humaines se développent et que l'urbanisation et les activités économiques (telles que le commerce de la faune sauvage, l'élevage, l'agriculture, la pêche, le développement des infrastructures, l'exploitation minière et forestière) empiètent sur les habitats des espèces sauvages. Cette plus grande proximité augmente la probabilité de propagation des maladies de la faune sauvage aux humains, ou de la faune sauvage au bétail aux humains. Cette note d’orientation fournit aux décideurs un ensemble de recommandations pratiques qui peuvent être mises en œuvre pour prévenir de futures épidémies causées par la propagation de maladies provenant de la faune sauvage et de la viande de ces animaux. Les recommandations sont basées sur un livre blanc, qui évalue:- pourquoi la propagation des maladies de la faune sauvage à l’homme se produit et comment ces épidémies de zoonoses peuvent se propager et devenir des épidémies et des pandémies comme la covid-19;
- quels efforts peuvent être faits pour prévenir et détecter les épidémies futures et atténuer leurs impacts en renforçant la résilience.

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.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
