Policy briefPolicy briefField-Level Forestry. Asia-Pacific Forests and Forestry to 2020. GMS Forest Policy Brief 02 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Institutional frameworks that fail to provide incentives to invest in forest management and a procession of high-level national and international priorities in forestry mean that field-level activities are often overlooked. The health and vitality of forests in the Greater Mekong Subregion and their productivity are threatened as a result. With demands on forests increasing and climate change threatening, efforts to maintain benefits from forests should focus attention on effective management at the field level. -
Policy briefPolicy briefForest Biodiversity Conservation. Asia-Pacific Forests and Forestry to 2020. GMS Forest Policy Brief 03 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Most of the terrestrial biodiversity within the Greater Mekong Subregion is contained within forests and although other forest areas are important, protected areas are the mainstay for biodiversity conservation. Habitat destruction and extraction of high-value species are major threats. Ecosystem stability is based on interdependence among constituent species and with biodiversity loss, resilience to change is reduced. Awareness raising, stringent environmental impact assessments, and improved l aw enforcement are required. -
Policy briefPolicy briefForests for a Greener Future. Asia-Pacific Forests and Forestry to 2020. Forest Policy Brief 01 2011
Also available in:
No results found.With only 0.2 hectares of forest per person, the Asia-Pacific region is, per capita, the least forested region in the world. Reinvestment in forests is necessary to reduce timber import dependence, support biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation, revitalise rural economies and protect land and populations from environmental hazards and the impacts of climate change. Expanding the region’s forest base will be an essential component of a greener future.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

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. -
