Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) This report discusses the extent to which household coping strategies have led to an efficient adaptation of livelihoods in the region of Beni-Lubero (North Kivu). A second question will be to what extent food security interventions have facilitated or blocked this adaptation process. The region was chosen as a case study because of its particular characteristic as being reigned by ‘neither-war-nor-peace’. During such situations, households have been observed to show a great degree of inventiven ess in terms of short-term coping strategies. Whether or not this inventiveness is leading to a greater resilience is the main question of this report. Finally, some recommendations will be given in terms of adapting existing food security programmes to such complex and changing situations.

    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.
