Book (stand-alone)Technical bookConsideraciones técnicas para la elaboración de Niveles de referencia de emisiones forestales/Niveles de referencia forestales en el marco de la CMNUCC 2016El objetivo de este documento es ayudar a los países que tratan de desarrollar un nivel de referencia de emisiones forestales y/o un sistema de referencia forestal (NREF/NRF) de REDD+ en el marco de la CMNUCC. El documento facilita un repaso estructural de los requisitos de la CMNUCC para la elaboración de NREF/NRF, resumiendo las orientaciones de la CMNUCC y extrapolando los elementos necesarios para la elaboración de un NREF/NRF. Se ha añadido una descripción de las posibles ventajas y riesgos asociados a las distintas opciones para cada uno de estos elementos, a fin de proveer algunas consideraciones prácticas para la elaboración de NREF/NRF.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFLEGT & REDD+ Trabajando juntos para consolidar la gobernanza forestal y mitigar el cambio climático 2016La pérdida de bosques contribuye a un sexto de las emisiones anuales de gases de efecto invernadero que son la causa principal del cambio climático. La experiencia nos enseña que la implementación conjunta de enfoques de reducción de la deforestación y de la degradación forestal y de consolidación de la gobernanza forestal –como la Reducción de las emisiones debidas a la deforestación y a la degradación forestal (REDD+) y la Aplicación de leyes, gobernanza y comercio forestales (FLEGT)– puede se r mucho más eficaz para contrarrestar la pérdida de bosques. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha pocos países han aprovechado las sinergias entre estos dos procesos. Las similitudes ampliamente reconocidas entre los objetivos de las iniciativas de REDD+ y de la FLEGT ofrecen oportunidades obvias de medidas comunes para enfrentar la deforestación y consolidar la gobernanza forestal. REDD+ y FLEGT comparten una serie de metas y enfoques comunes y se dirigen a las mismas partes interesadas (actores del sec tor forestal de las agencias gubernamentales, comunidades locales y pueblos indígenas, además del sector privado). Ambos mecanismos se basan en incentivos para promover la gestión forestal sostenible y su éxito depende del fuerte énfasis en la gobernanza forestal.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEl rol de la FAO en apoyar reformas de tenencia de la tierra para contribuir a la implementación de REDD+ 2017Los sistemas de tenencia de la tierra y de los bosques influencian enormemente la capacidad de los países en reducir la deforestación y la degradación forestal. Derechos de tenencia claros y seguros pueden incentivar la conservación y el manejo sostenible de los bosques, ya que los beneficiarios tienen un interés mayor en mantener sus propios recursos. La identificación y reconocimiento de los derechos de tenencia legítimos, incluso de los derechos de tenencia consuetudinarios, refuerzan también la responsabilidad de todas las partes implicadas, factor esencial para alcanzar el éxito de los procesos relativos a la Reducción de las Emisiones debidas a la Deforestación y la Degradación de los bosques en los países en Desarrollo (REDD+).

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. -
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 (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
