Synopsis (short abstract) This Circular provides a history, description and overview of the performance review process of regional fishery bodies (RFBs), and the implementation measures that the RFBs in question have taken, following the reviews. It is an update for, and an expansion upon, FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No. 1072, “Performance Reviews by Regional Fishery Bodies: Introduction, Summaries, Syntheses and Best Practices, Volume I: CCAMLR, CCBST, ICCAT, IOTC, NAFO, NASCO, NEAFC,” written by Marika Ceo, Sarah Fagnani, Judith Swan, Kumiko Tamada and Hiromoto Watanabe. That Circular reviewed seven organizations’ performance reviews, mostly in the Atlantic Ocean, in 2012. The first part of this report offers an overview of the evolution of independent performance reviews in international fisheries management. It describes the spread of the practice between RFBs, the typical composition of performance review panels, their average timetables, cost and methodology. It also describes the criteria to which fisheries bodies are held to in the reviews. In the second part, the Circular studies performance reviews completed by the nineteen RFBs that, at the time of publication, have engaged in the performance review process. The report gives basic information about each RFB, then summarizes the factual findings and recommendations of the reviews. Finally, the report recounts the efforts that each RFB has made in order to implement the recommendations of its performance reviews.

    Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020
    Main report
    2020
    Also available in:
    FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
