BookletOther documentConstruyendo el Futuro 2014En el marco de la gobernanza moderna, la transparencia significa reconocer la responsabilidad de proporcionar informaciones. El sistema de las Naciones Unidas, como un servicio público mundial, tiene que dar el ejemplo al suministrar información a sus Estados Miembros, órganos rectores, asociados y otras partes interesadas sobre sus recursos y principales logros, proponiéndola en un formato de fácil lectura. Sin embargo, muchas de las actividades llevadas a cabo por el sistema de las Naciones Un idas en general, y de la FAO en particular, no se conocen muy bien. Por esta razón, el Departamento Forestal de la FAO, a principios de 2010, decidió crear una publicación bienal interesante, que exhibiera sus principales logros y los recursos correspondientes. Esta publicación informa sobre los debates durante las sesiones plenarias del Comité Forestal (COFO), cuando se presentan los informes acerca de las actividades y, asimismo, es un recurso para el nuevo personal, los asociados y los medios de comunicación con el fin de que se comprenda mejor el Programa Forestal de la FAO. Durante el último bienio, por medio de su densa red de oficinas nacionales regionales y subregionales y de su Sede en Roma, Italia, la FAO ha puesto en marcha proyectos que ascienden a un total de 81 500 000 millones de dólares estadounidenses, y las actividades normativas del Programa Ordinario correspondiente a aproximadamente 40 millones de dólares estadounidenses. La mayor parte del presupuesto del proyecto está relacionada con proyectos de ONU- REDD y el Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial.

BookletCorporate general interestSoluciones agroalimentarias frente al cambio climático
La labor de la FAO dirigida a combatir la crisis climática
2024Ante el empeoramiento de la crisis climática y los lentos avances en la reducción de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, la adopción de prácticas sostenibles en los sistemas agroalimentarios puede servir para que los países y las comunidades se adapten, fomenten su resiliencia y mitiguen las emisiones, garantizando la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición de una población mundial cada vez mayor.La FAO está trabajando con los países y asociados desde el nivel gubernamental hasta el comunitario para hacer frente simultáneamente a los desafíos de la seguridad alimentaria, el cambio climático y la pérdida de biodiversidad.Pero, en última instancia, nada de esto tendrá éxito a menos que el mundo se comprometa a aumentar de manera significativa la calidad y la cantidad de la financiación para el clima.

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. -
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. -
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.
