MeetingMeeting documentAPFIC-FAO Actions support Member Countries combat IUU and Implement the FAO PSMA. Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission Executive Committee Seventy-sixth Session
Manila, Philippines, 21-23 February 2017
2018Also available in:
No results found.APFIC member countries have for many years recognized the importance of addressing IUU and implementing the FAO PSMA in the region. This working paper reviews options for APFIC to further provide support to its members within the context of the coming into force of the FAO Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) in June 2016. Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing represents a major problem for the fisheries sector, jeopardizing already difficult efforts to sustainably manage fisheries resources. IUU fishing destroys marine and coastal ecosystems, threatens biodiversity, and causes the loss of millions of dollars to the formal economy. Recently IUU fishing has gained wider attention due to the recognition of the environmental damages and socioeconomic losses associated with IUU fishing, the global concerns over the conditions of fish workers (including forced labour), links with human trafficking and organized crime, and the overall greater mobility of fishing vessels and difficulty tracking their operations. -

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. -
