    This course seeks to provide a basic understanding of land-cover data and its use for monitoring progress towards the achievement of international agreed goals, such as Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15, with a practical focus on its Indicators 15.3.1 (proportion of land that is degraded over total land area) and 15.4.2 (including its subindicators: mountain green cover Index and proportion of degraded mountain land).

    Standards provide a common language and framework for data collection, analysis, and reporting. The adoption of common standards for land use and land cover monitoring is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It enables countries to track progress towards the goals in a consistent and transparent manner, and to share data and knowledge with other countries and stakeholders. They ensure that data is consistent, reliable, and comparable across different regions and countries. By adopting common standards, countries can improve their ability to monitor progress towards the SDGs, identify areas where action is needed, and track the impact of interventions.The collaboration between FAO and ISO on the development of the ISO 19144 series demonstrates the importance of standards in achieving the SDGs. The ISO 19144 series provides a common framework for land cover and land use information, which is critical for monitoring progress towards the SDGs, particularly for SDG 15, which aims to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and biodiversity loss. The standard for describing the land cover and land use data is important for developing consistent data for the purpose of integration and comparison.

    Tracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators 2021: A report on the indicators under FAO custodianship 2021
    Also available in:

    “Tracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators 2021” provides a statistical overview of progress made around the world towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to food and agriculture. The report is the third of a series of annual assessments of the SDG indicators under FAO’s responsibility. Available in digital format, this year’s edition offers detailed analyses and trends on indicators across eight SDGs (1, 2, 5, 6, 10, 12, 14 and 15), highlighting areas of progress and areas where further effort is needed. Also, for the first time, selected indicators for which FAO is a contributing agency and/or have key implications for food and agriculture are analysed. These additional indicators provide valuable insights on agricultural losses due to natural disasters, the distribution of land tenure rights, and the impact of international trade policies and regulations on agricultural trade.
