Synopsis (short abstract) The purpose of this Manual is to assist IOTC Contracting Parties and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties (CPCs) to better understand the measures and actions that they must take in discharging their reporting obligations. It provides an overview of the IOTC Conservation and Management Measures (CMMs) that require active reporting and explains the aim, technical requirements, and reporting requirements for each. The content is divided into three chapters. The first chapter provides an overview of the objective and structure of this Manual. It describes IOTC Resolutions and Recommendations and explains the IOTC functions and institutional arrangements responsible for compliance with their requirements. It defines both event-based and recurring reporting and presents a table showing for each Resolution whether the flag, port, coastal, and/or market State(s) has or have reporting obligations. The second chapter focuses on the Resolutions that require reporting and explains for each the key considerations for its adoption, the aim, and application, technical and reporting requirements. The Resolutions appear in a framework based on the objective of the Resolution: fisheries management, monitoring, control and surveillance, mandatory statistics, and market-related measures. The third chapter describes CPCs’ reporting requirements under Article X of the IOTC Agreement, the Rules of Procedure, and relevant decisions of the Commission and the Scientific Committee. They require reporting through the annual Report of Implementation, the Standard Compliance Questionnaire, and the National Scientific Report. This Manual is a living document that can be revised and improved by all CPCs as experience is gained in the implementation of the IOTC Conservation and Management Measures.

    The purpose of this Manual is to assist IOTC Members and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties in achieving a better understanding of the actions that they need to take under the IOTC, by providing an overview of the Conservation and Management Measures (CMM’s) entailing active reporting requirements. The content is divided into six chapters. The first chapter provides a broad overview of the IOTC Resolutions and Conservation and Management measures adopted by the IOTC. The second chapter provides a detailed description of the requirements from the CPCs arising from the CMMs in relation to the main roles that CPCs play with regards to Coastal State responsibility. The third Chapter describes requirements and responsibilities of CPCs as Flag States. The fourth chapter describes requirements and responsibilities of CPCs as Port States. The fifth chapter describes requirements and responsibilities of CPCs as Market States. The sixth chapter describes the cross-cutting CMMS and duties under basic texts. This manual should be viewed as a living document that can be revised and improved by all parties as experience is expanded in the implementation of the IOTC Conservation and Management Measures.

    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.

    Guideline
    Guidelines on the Collection of Information on Food Processing through Food Consumption Surveys 2015
    Also available in:
    Foods and food products consumed in most areas of the world are processed in some way, for various purposes. These purposes range from increasing the digestibility of raw foods (e.g. through cooking) to increasing the palatability of food products (e.g. through the addition of flavourings). Foods and food products processed in industrial settings differ from those prepared by hand at home or in artisanal settings; they employ different ingredients and methods. Food processing has an impact on diet quality. The degree of food processing can vary from raw foods eaten as such (e.g. fresh fruit) to that of food products whose ingredients are derived from food but contain little or no whole food (e.g. extruded cereals). These guidelines will help the reader to identify the relevant information that will allow classification and data analysis according to the type and degree of food processing. The use of these guidelines will assist the collection of more accurate, standardized and relevant information on food processing through food consumption surveys. Generating more and better information on how foods are processed will allow development of more effective policies to promote healthy diets.
