Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEvaluation reportBiodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Land Management in the Soda Saline-alkaline Wetlands Agropastoral Landscapes in the Western Area of the Jilin Province
Evaluation highlights
2025Also available in:
No results found.The five-year project is funded by GEF and implemented by FAO. The executing partner is the Department of Water Resources, Jilin Province. The project uses the western Jilin wetlands to address one of the most disruptive environmental challenges in China: large-scale land degradation and biodiversity damages caused by decreasing water resources. Its global environmental objective is to demonstrate and replicate an integrated model for Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) in saline-alkaline productive landscapes, including rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation in wetlands. The development objective is to provide the long-term sustainable flow of income to farmers’ communities from farming systems (crop, livestock and fish) in the western area of Jilin Province by building an ecologically resilient productive landscape. -
BookletEvaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Land Management in the Soda Saline-alkaline Wetlands Agropastoral Landscapes in the Western Area of the Jilin Province"
Project code: GCP/CPR/048/GFF - GEF ID 4632
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project proved to be highly consistent with the priorities of FAO and the government, and designed to meet the needs of the beneficiaries. The project effectively adopted an inclusive co-creation approach to foster adoption of sustainable land and water management and development of innovative agrobiodiversity conservation practices. The design was ambitious but interventions were well targeted. There has been substantial progress towards long-term impact, viewed by stakeholders as largely attributable to the project. Changes made by the project to policies, plans, legal provisions and regulations increase the likelihood of long-term, sustainable impacts, and there was extensive evidence found in positive changes in field-level practices by farmers and wetland managers. The project had high additionality, facilitating a unified cross-sectoral approach to deliver a suite of soil, water, environmental and socioeconomic benefits that are unlikely to have occurred without the support of the Global Environment Facility. -
ProjectFactsheetSecuring Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable use in the Huangshan Municipality of China - GCP/CPR/049/GFF 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Huangshan Municipality lies in the Anhui Province of eastern China. It is a forested, mountainous area that is home to over 1 800 species of plants and456 species of vertebrates, comprising seven percent of all known plant and animal species in the country. For many reasons, including illegal logging, hunting and fishing, the impacts of climate change, and an increase in domestic and international tourism to the area, the biodiversity in Huangshan Municipality is threatened. In fact, many of the plant and animal species in the area are endangered. Despite a strong commitment by the government and the public to conserve Huangshan’s biodiversity and ensure its sustainable use, the management of existing PAs needs improvement. To achieve this goal, the project evaluated, adapted and implemented best practices derived from the successfully managed Huangshan National Scenic Reserve (HNSR) to strengthen the management capacities of staff in the network of PAs established prior to the project. A tiered, community-based approach was implemented to ensure sustainability and the effective management of the large number of existing PAs.

BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change. -

FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -
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.
