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)FlagshipEl estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura 2020
La sostenibilidad en acción
2020En la edición de 2020 de El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura se hace especialmente hincapié en la sostenibilidad. Esto refleja una serie de consideraciones específicas. Primero, en 2020 se celebra el 25.º aniversario del Código de Conducta para la Pesca Responsable (en adelante, “el Código”). En segundo lugar, varios indicadores de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible deben alcanzarse en 2020. Tercero, la FAO acogió el Simposio Internacional sobre la Sostenibilidad de la Pesca a finales de 2019; y, en cuarto lugar, en 2020 se finalizarán las directrices específicas de la FAO sobre el crecimiento sostenible de la acuicultura y sobre la sostenibilidad social a lo largo de las cadenas de valor. Si bien la Parte 1 mantiene el formato de las ediciones anteriores, se ha revisado la estructura del resto de la publicación. La Parte 2 se abre con una sección especial relativa al 25.º aniversario del Código. También se centra en las cuestiones que han pasado a primer plano, en particular aquellas relacionadas con el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 14 y sus indicadores, de los que la FAO es el organismo “responsable”. Además, la Parte 2 abarca diversos aspectos de la sostenibilidad de la pesca y la acuicultura. Los temas tratados son muy variados, desde sistemas de datos e información hasta contaminación de los océanos, la legalidad de los productos, los derechos de los usuarios y la adaptación al cambio climático. La Parte 3 es ahora la última parte de la publicación, y abarca previsiones y cuestiones emergentes como nuevas tecnologías y la bioseguridad de la acuicultura. Se concluye esbozando los pasos hacia una nueva visión de la pesca de captura.La publicación El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura tiene como finalidad proporcionar información objetiva, fiable y actualizada para una amplia variedad de lectores que incluye responsables de la formulación de políticas, administradores, científicos, partes interesadas y todas las personas que tengan interés en el sector de la pesca y la acuicultura. -
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.
