Synopsis (short abstract) Now more than ever, trees and forests are a vital component of healthy, livable, and sustainable communities around the globe. Urban forests help define a sense of place and well-being where people live, work, play, and learn. We invite your community to become part of the Tree Cities of the World programme, an international effort to recognize cities and towns committed to ensuring that urban forests and trees are properly maintained, sustainably managed, and duly celebrated. This is your opportunity to connect with cities around the world in a new network dedicated to sharing and adopting the most successful approaches to managing community trees and forests.

    Foro Mundial sobre Bosques Urbanos
    Ciudades más verdes, más sanas y más felices para todos: un llamamiento a la acción
    2019
    Also available in:
    Los bosques y los árboles urbanos pueden ayudar a enfrentar estos desafíos y contribuir a alcanzar muchos de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), entre otros, el ODS 11 para lograr que las ciudades sean inclusivas, seguras, resilientes y sostenibles. Asimismo, la Nueva Agenda Urbana de la ONU pone de relieve las contribuciones de los bosques y áreas verdes urbanos al desarrollo sostenible. Mientras tanto, las ciudades de todo el mundo han demostrado que las inversiones en la silvicultura urbana pueden contribuir en gran medida a la calidad de vida. Cada vez más organizaciones internacionales e instituciones de ciencia e investigación están examinando el papel que desempeñan las áreas verdes y los árboles en la consecución de los objetivos mundiales de sostenibilidad. Lo que se necesita hoy día es un enfoque integrado que fomente la acción compartida y las experiencias de las ciudades más verdes, más sanas y más felices para todos. Este llamamiento a la acción es el primer paso.

    Silvicultura urbana: ciudades, árboles y población 1987
    Also available in:
    Dados los enormes problemas con que actualmente se enfrenta el mundo - pobreza generalizada, degradacin urbana, analfabetismo, deforestacin en los trpicos y amenaza de una guerra nuclear, para citar slo algunos - puede parecer fuera de lugar el dedicar un nmero de Unasylva a la cuestin, en apariencia trivial, de la silvicultura urbana. Cabe preguntarse qu importancia tener realmente la silvicultura urbana para millones de personas que carecen de hogar, de alimentos o de empleo. En efecto, la sil vicultura urbana, en la forma en que a veces se practica, tiende realmente a beneficiar a los sectores prsperos a expensas de los desfavorecidos. Pero ello no tiene por qu ser as necesariamente. De hecho, la silvicultura urbana - como la silvicultura comunitaria orientada hacia el medio rural - ofrece una oportunidad para que la poblacin aproveche directamente los beneficios de los rboles. Aunque esos beneficios pueden no ser tan conocidos como en el medio rural - o ser completamente distintos - existen, sin embargo.

    Directrices para la silvicultura urbana y periurbana 2017
    Also available in:
    Este documento es el resultado final de ese proceso. Dirigido a una audiencia mundial – que comprende las instancias decisorias urbanas, funcionarios públicos, asesores políticos y demás partes interesadas – contribuirá al desarrollo de bosques urbanos y periurbanos que ayuden a las ciudades a resolver sus exigencias actuales y futuras de productos forestales y servicios del ecosistema. Estas directrices contribuirán también a aumentar la sensibilización sobre las contribuciones que los bosques y los árboles pueden aportar para mejorar la calidad de vida, y sobre su papel fundamental en la sostenibilidad mundial.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
    Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
    2023
    Also available in:
    This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
