ArticleJournal articleCriteria and Indicators framework to measure the sustainability of forest resources in India and their contribution to SDGs and GFGs

No results found.With the adoption of sustainable development as Agenda 21 at the Earth Summit (1992), the global community reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development at the World Summit on Social Development in Copenhagen in 1995, the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002, and at Rio + 20 in 2012. The outcome at Rio+20 was documented as “The Future We Want" into a set of SDGs (Sustainable development Goals) also known as the Agenda 2030 (2012). The efforts were also made to integrate the sustainable development goals into sustainable management of the world’s forests at the United Nations Forum on Forest (UNFF). These efforts fructified into the UN General Assembly in 2017 adopting a set of six Global Forest Goals (GFGs) and 26 associated targets to be achieved by 2030. Considering the Criteria & Indicators as a potent tool, the country’s across the world committed themselves to realize these global goals through the adoption of criteria and indicators’ approach for the management of their forest resources. In this process eleven regional and international initiatives have emerged, one of these is Regional Initiative for Dry Forests in Asia (also known as Bhopal- India Process). India developed its national set of C&I into 8 criteria and 37 indicators. These were then adopted and integrated into its national forest planning process at Forest Management Unit (FMU) level through National Working Plan Code (NWPC) 2014. Following the adoption of NWPC, the country needs to create a system of national monitoring and evaluation. The proposed paper is an attempt to evolve a set of applicable indicators along-with baseline value for periodic assessment. A comparison of the observed values of the identified indicators against the baseline would help understand the change in the forestry conditions and provide a framework for interpretation, measuring, and monitoring the sustainability of forest resources and their contribution to achieving SDGs and GFGs.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileGuidance on core indicators for agrifood systems – Measuring the private sector’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The publication "Guidance on core indicators for agrifood systems – Measuring the private sector’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals" aims to provide practical information on how food and agriculture companies’ contribution to the SDGs can be measured in a consistent manner and in alignment with countries’ needs relating to monitoring the attainment of Agenda 2030. The indicators are further intended to serve as a tool to assist governments in:- improving private sector’s accountability mechanisms and assessing their contribution to SDG implementation, in particular on key transformative actions needed to achieve the SDGs;
- setting standards and policies for corporate sustainability reporting, establishing national private sector reporting mechanisms, and enabling the reporting on SDG Indicator 12.6.1 (Number of companies publishing sustainability reports); and
- potentially reusing the data reported by private entities to improve SDG monitoring at the national level.

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.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
