Book (series)Working paperInternational Wildland Fire Management Agreements Template
Forest Protection Working Paper FFM/2/E
2004Also available in:
No results found.The following is an outline for a template of areas that need to be considered when countries are developing international cooperative agreements. There may be other areas that need definition and consideration besides those listed below. This template is drawn from an annex of a UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) document Legal Frameworks for Forest Fire Management: International Agreements and National Legislation. This FAO document provides excellent reference materials, which should be reviewed prior to entering into international agreements. Developing countries will require special consideration because they may not be able to reciprocate in a partnership as fully as a developed country can. The important role of Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) should be considered as part of any bilateral or regional assistance arrangement. It is strongly recommended that the parties to a mutual assistance agreement should exercise the agreement through exchanges, field exercises an d low-level assistance prior to it being activated at a time of crisis. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureNear East Network on Wildlands and Forest Fire five-year road map 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Near East Network on Wildlands Forest Fire (NENFIRE) five-year roadmap presents a strategic framework to guide regional collaboration on integrated fire management (IFM) in the Near East and North Africa. As climate change, land degradation, and desertification continue to intensify wildfire risks across the region, this roadmap outlines a phased and inclusive approach to reduce fire risk, enhance resilience, and safeguard ecosystems, livelihoods, and economies.Developed through stakeholder mapping and a regional survey, the roadmap addresses five interconnected pillars: research, risk reduction, readiness, response, and institutional and governance frameworks. It proposes a series of coordinated actions over five years (2025 to 2030), from establishing governance structures and piloting integrated fire management projects to enhancing fire monitoring systems, embedding fire management in policy, engaging communities, and ensuring long-term sustainability.Contributing directly to Regional Priority 3: Greening agriculture, water scarcity and climate action, the roadmap supports country-level and regional efforts to build capacity, strengthen data systems, promote innovation, and foster partnerships with local, national, and international stakeholders. It contributes to FAO’s Better Environment and Better Life objectives by promoting sustainable natural resource management, enhancing resilience to climate-related risks, and supporting community-based fire management.

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -

Brief note
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) was established at COP23 to address six topics in the agricultural sector's role in climate change. KJWA has contributed to sharing scientific and technical knowledge, but limitations remain in translating outcomes into concrete climate actions. The new four-year joint work on the implementation of climate action on agriculture and food security, which prioritizes ending hunger and considers national circumstances, includes the creation of an online portal for sharing information. The four-year agenda is shaped and broadened through the submission of views by parties, observers, and civil society and will be considered by SBSTA and SBI in June 2023. -
