Book (series)Technical studyDirectives relatives au changement climatique à l'intention des gestionnaires forestiers 2013Les effets du changement climatique et de la variabilité du climat sur les écosystèmes forestiers sont manifestes dans le monde et la poursuite de ces effets est inévitable, au moins à court et à moyen terme. Pour résoudre les problèmes posés par le changement climatique, il faut modifier les politiques forestières et apporter des changements aux plans et pratiques de gestion forestière. Ces directives ont été préparées pour aider les gestionnaires forestiers à mieux évaluer les problèmes causés par le changement climatique et à tirer parti des possibilités qu’ils offrent au niveau de l’unité de gestion forestière. Les mesures proposées sont pertinentes pour tous les gestionnaires forestiers – propriétaires de forêt, entreprises forestières privées, organismes publics, groupes autochtones et associations locales de défense des forêts. Ces mesures s’appliquent à tous les types de forêt dans toutes les régions et à tous les objectifs de gestion. Les gest ionnaires forestiers trouveront des directives sur ce que ils devraient prendre en considération dans l’évaluation de la vulnérabilité, du risque, des options en matière d’atténuation, ainsi que des mesures visant l’adaptation et l’atténuation des effets du changement climatique. Les gestionnaires forestiers trouveront également des directives sur le suivi et l’évaluation supplémentaire qu'ils devront peut-être entreprendre dans leurs forêts en réponse au changement climatique. Le présent document complète les directives préparées par la FAO en 2010 pour aider les décideurs à intégrer le changement climatique dans les politiques forestières et les programmes forestiers nationaux existants ou nouveaux.

Fully illustrated dichotomous keys to all taxa are provided. Species are treated in detail, with accounts including the scientific name, FAO common name in English (where available), other useful characters, size, a distribution map, and one or more illustrations. To facilitate even further the identification of the taxa, captions and arrows are added to help users quickly locate their key morphological features.

Book (series)FAO journalRestoring the Earth - The next decade
Unasylva No. 252 - Vol. 71 2020/1
2020This Unasylva issue aims at showcasing forest and landscape restoration (FLR) opportunities and recent developments that have the power to upscale restoration, in order to achieving the Bonn Challenge pledge and other national and international commitments (Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD) Post-2020 Agenda, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) Land Degradation Neutrality, Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)) and addressing the needs of the UN Decade 2021-2030 on Ecosystem Restoration. The content adresses thematics of relevance to various audiences: i) flagship restoration initiatives that differ from the so-called “business-as-usual” as they channel more funds, better empower local stakeholders and provide enhanced technical assistance through partners’ coalitions; ii) technical advances that can spread FLR and have a huge potential to be mainstreamed for different reasons (low cost, adaptability, relevance to many ecosystems and contexts, ease of implementation…); iii) the enabling factors for restoration, i.e. coordination, policy environment, resources, knowledge and capacities, as these are the enabling conditions for action to take place on the ground. -

Climate-smart agriculture for more sustainable, resilient, and equitable food systems
2022Also available in:
This series of technical briefs aims to provide a solid knowledge base for building or strengthening stakeholder capacities on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) and applying CSA practices to five crops that are critical to the global agri-food sector: coffee, cowpea, maize, rice and wheat. These briefing notes reflect the growing recognition of the need to share knowledge, best practices, lessons learned and experiences on CSA. They are intended to support stakeholders to make the transition to more sustainable and resilient crop production systems and, thereby reach targets laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals. It is our intent to reach a broad range of stakeholders with this knowledge, especially as we begin a new era of global dialogue on how to transform our food systems.
