BookletOther documentAller de l'Avant 2014Dans le cadre de la gouvernance moderne, la redevabilité implique que l’on rende compte des actions entreprises et que l’on en assume la responsabilité. En tant que service public mondial, le système des Nations Unies se doit de donner l’exemple en fournissant, sous une forme de lecture facile, des informations sur ses principales réalisations aux divers États Membres, organes directeurs et partenaires ainsi qu’aux autres parties prenantes. Cependant, un grand nombre d’activités menées par les N ations Unies en général et par la FAO en particulier restent mal connues. C’est pour cette raison que FAO Forêts a décidé, début 2010, de lancer une publication biennale attrayante présentant ses résultats majeurs et les ressources qui leur correspondent. Cette publication permet d’éclairer les discussions des sessions plénières du Comité des forêts (COFO) lors des rapports d’activité, et contribue également à ce que les nouveaux membres du personnel, les partenaires et les médias puissent mieux comprendre le Programme forestier de l’Organisation. Au cours des deux dernières années, au travers de son dense réseau de bureaux régionaux, sous-régionaux et nationaux et à partir de son siège à Rome, Italie, la FAO a mis en oeuvre des projets pour un montant de 81,5 millions de dollars EU, et des activités normatives relevant du programme ordinaire pour un montant de l’ordre de 40 millions de dollars EU. L’essentiel du budget relatif aux projets est lié au Fonds pour l’environnement mondial et au programme ONU-REDD.

Une sélection de réalisations du programme forestier de la FAO 2018-2019
2020Aller de l'avant présente les points saillants du travail effectué par la FAO en 2018 et 2019 dans le domaine forestier, pour traduire en actes les objectifs stratégiques de l'Organisation. Au cours de cette période, outre les activités extensives du programme ordinaire, le Programme forestier de la FAO avait plus de 230 projets en cours, répartis dans plus de 82 pays, visant à obtenir des effets transformationnels bénéfiques pour les pays membres de la FAO. Il existe un fort besoin dans le secteur forestier de réponses coordonnées à l’échelle mondiale en matière de meilleures pratiques, apprentissage entre pairs, renforcement des capacités, développement et transfert de technologie, analyse d'experts et engagement multipartite - en d’autres termes, les services que la FAO et ses partenaires s’emploient à fournir. Comme le montrent les récits d’expérience présentés dans cette publication, la FAO s'est engagée à aller de l'avant avec ses membres et ses partenaires pour parvenir à un monde durable. -

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. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

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.
