Book (series)Technical reportReport of the RECOFI - FIRMS Workshop on Resources and Fisheries Inventories, Cairo, Egypt, 12–14 July 2011. 2012

No results found.The RECOFI–FIRMS Workshop on Resources and Fisheries Inventories was held in Cairo, Egypt, from 12 to 14 July 2011. The goal of this Workshop was to formalize an inventory of marine resources/stocks and fisheries for the Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) area (at both the national and regional levels) for its eventual publication through the Fishery Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS [http://firms.fao.org/]). This inventory will be used as the backbone for regular reporting of status an d trends of stocks and fisheries under the RECOFI mandate, using the Web-based framework and approaches established by FIRMS. Ten representatives from six RECOFI Members (Bahrain, Iran [Islamic Republic of], Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) and a resource person from Iraq participated in the Workshop. The Workshop was successful in developing a skeleton for a regional marine resources and fisheries inventory. The skeleton of the regional fisheries inventory was elaborated based on the “thr ee-dimensional diagram” approach, which allows the many facets of fisheries and their relationships to be visually represented and positioned. Fishery units were defined as fishing activities, and consistently with the RECOFI minimum data requirements. The skeleton of the regional marine resources inventory was initiated building from the 17 RECOFI priority species/groups, and will require further expert inputs from research institutes of the region. The Workshop dedicated a substantial amount o f time to training on the inventory guidelines in order to develop capacity to extend the agreed inventory skeleton with the necessary data input. The participants appraised the potential benefits of the inventory approach in support of a regional review of management measures at the national level, which will eventually support fisheries management in the RECOFI area. -

Book (series)Technical reportReport of the CECAF-FIRMS Workshop on resources and fisheries inventories, Accra, Ghana, 7–9 December 2009 / L’Atelier copace-firms sur l’inventaire des ressources et des pêcheries. Accra, Ghana, 7-9 décembre 2009 2015

No results found.The CECAF–FIRMS workshop on resources and fisheries inventories was held in Accra, Ghana, from 7 to 9 December 2009. Its goals were to validate the inventory of fisheries and marine resources (requested from participants before the meeting) and to deliver training and start a capacity-building process on the FIRMS workflow. Approaching the CECAF member countries directly implied the need to establish a protocol for disseminating national information through the FIRMS partnership. Representatives from 15 member countries (Angola, Benin, Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, the Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, Spain and Togo) and the Fishery Officer from the Regional Office for Africa participated in the workshop. The workshop was successful in advancing the validation of the work done for some of the countries, training some representatives for future delivery of the work, and establishing a network for future collaboration for the re maining ones. A protocol was drafted for the delivery of national information on fisheries through the FIRMS partnership and under the CECAF umbrella. The workshop recommended that the reporting on the state of marine resources at the regional level be maintained under full CECAF ownership. The possibility of national contributions on marine resources is a process that should take place under the aegis of the Scientific Sub-Committee.

Book (series)Flagship2020年世界粮食安全和营养状况
实现粮食体系转型，保障经济型健康膳食
2020由于更新了很多国家的数据，今年我们能更精确地对世界饥饿状况进行估算。尤其是新数据的出现帮助我们对中国2000年以来所有食物不足系列年度估计数进行了重新修订，大幅调低了世界食物不足人数。尽管如此，修订后的数字仍印证了以往几期报告中提出的趋势：全球饥饿人口数量自2014年起一直呈缓慢增加趋势。报告还显示，各种形式营养不良带来的负担依然是一项挑战。虽然在儿童发育迟缓、低出生体重和纯母乳喂养相关方面已取得一定进展，但进展速度依然过慢。在所有区域，儿童超重问题尚未得到改善，成人肥胖问题则不断加重。本报告除了对粮食安全和营养状况进行常规评估外，还增加了在假设过去十年趋势持续不变的情况下，对2030年世界前景的预测。预测结果表明，我们的世界难以到2030年实现零饥饿目标，同时，尽管已经取得一定进展，但多数指标表明我们也无法实现全球营养目标。由于COVID-19疫情对健康和社会经济造成影响，多数弱势群体的粮食安全和营养状况很可能进一步恶化。本报告聚焦于膳食质量，将其视为粮食安全和营养之间的关键联系。要想实现可持续发展目标2项下的各项目标，就必须保证人人都能获得充足的食物，同时还要吃得起营养食物。报告还新增了对不同区域、不同发展背景下世界各地健康膳食的成本和经济可负担性的分析。报告对当前食物消费方式的健康和气候变化相关成本进行估值，并介绍一旦转向有助于可持续性的健康膳食后可能节约的成本。报告最后探讨粮食系统转型相关政策和战略，以确保人们能够负担得起健康膳食，从而为消除饥饿和一切形式营养不良做出贡献。 -
