Book (series)Manual / guideA guide to forest–water management 2021Many people worldwide lack adequate access to clean water to meet basic needs, and many important economic activities, such as energy production and agriculture, also require water. Climate change is likely to aggravate water stress. As temperatures rise, ecosystems and the human, plant, and animal communities that depend on them will need more water to maintain their health and to thrive. Forests and trees are integral to the global water cycle and therefore vital for water security – they regulate water quantity, quality, and timing and provide protective functions against (for example) soil and coastal erosion, flooding, and avalanches. Forested watersheds provide 75 percent of our freshwater, delivering water to over half the world’s population. The purpose of A Guide to Forest–Water Management is to improve the global information base on the protective functions of forests for soil and water. It reviews emerging techniques and methodologies, provides guidance and recommendations on how to manage forests for their water ecosystem services, and offers insights into the business and economic cases for managing forests for water ecosystem services. Intact native forests and well-managed planted forests can be a relatively cheap approach to water management while generating multiple co-benefits. Water security is a significant global challenge, but this paper argues that water-centered forests can provide nature-based solutions to ensuring global water resilience.

Book (series)FlagshipL’État de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde 2019
Se prémunir contre les ralentissements et les fléchissements économiques
2019Le rapport de cette année fait apparaître qu’en chiffres absolus le nombre de personnes souffrant de la faim s’est lentement accru. Le rapport montre aussi que l’insécurité alimentaire ne se limite pas à la faim. Pour la première fois, le rapport présente des éléments qui permettent d’établir que nombre de personnes dans le monde, bien que ne souffrant pas de la faim, sont exposées à une insécurité alimentaire modérée, à savoir qu’elles ne sont pas toujours certaines de pouvoir se procurer à manger et se voient contraintes de ne pas manger en quantité suffisante ou de consommer des aliments de moindre qualité. C’est un phénomène de portée mondiale, qui sévit non seulement dans les pays à faible revenu et à revenu intermédiaire, mais aussi dans les pays à revenu élevé. À la lecture du rapport, on comprend également que nous ne sommes pas sur la bonne voie s’agissant d’atteindre les cibles nutritionnelles mondiales, notamment en ce qui concerne l’insuffisance pondérale à la naissance et le retard de croissance chez les enfants de moins de cinq ans. Par ailleurs, l’excès pondéral et l’obésité sont en hausse dans toutes les régions, particulièrement chez les enfants d’âge scolaire et les adultes. À cet égard, le rapport souligne qu’aucune region n’est épargnée par l’épidémie d’excès pondéral et d’obésité, mettant l’accent sur la nécessité d’approches multidimensionnelles et multisectorielles qui permettraient d’enrayer voire d’inverser ces tendances.
