    Rebuilding of marine fisheries - Part 2: Case studies 2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Part 2 of the global review of “Rebuilding of Marine Fisheries” provides 13 case studies of fisheries on which rebuilding initiatives were undertaken, in various parts of the world and under different circumstances, as well as an analysis of the role of closures (MPAs and fishery closures) in rebuilding. The cases studies relate to: Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Bluefin tuna; Norwegian spring spawning herring and Northeast Atlantic cod; Southeast Australia multispecies (scalefish and sharks); Japanese sardine, anchovy and chub mackerel; Western Australia snapper, multispecies demersal resources and scallop fisheries; South African fisheries on hakes, sardine and rock lobster; and Canadian (Newfoundland) cod. The MPA analysis considers many examples of MPAs and fishery closures, including the Great Barrier Reef. The case studies illustrate contrasting situations regarding the nature of the resources, the types of fisheries, the governance structures and processes, the environmental and socioeconomic contexts, the causes of depletion, information richness, and outcomes. They highlight the multiple dimensions of the rebuilding problem. A number of lessons are learned regarding the triggering factors, the likelihood and factors of success in rebuilding, the importance of reactiveness, timeliness and clarity of the objectives, the weakly predictable nature of the process, the main problems, the uncertainty inherent in rebuilding trajectories, the needed improvements in the legal, policy, governance and management frameworks, the rebuilding and post-rebuilding regimes, economic and social considerations, science - policy issues, environmental issues, enabling and limiting factors and challenges.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also 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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.
