Evaluación de la capacidad estadística relativa a los indicadores ODS pertinentes para la FAO 2018/19
2019La Oficina del Jefe de Estadística de la FAO realizó la Evaluación de la Capacidad Estadística para los indicadores ODS pertinentes para la FAO a principios de 2019 para recabar información sobre la capacidad de los sistemas nacionales de estadística para monitorear y presentar informes sobre los 21 indicadores ODS bajo la custodia de la FAO. La encuesta recogió información sobre mecanismos de coordinación nacionales para el seguimiento de los ODS, la disponibilidad de datos actual, los planes para abarcar las brechas de datos, y las necesidades de asistencia técnica. Los encuestados eran el Coordinador Nacional para el seguimiento de los ODS o los puntos focales de los ODS designados por el Jefe de la Oficina Nacional de Estadísticas. Los resultados ayudarán a la sede de la FAO y sus oficinas descentralizadas en diseñar intervenciones mejor enfocadas y en movilizar recursos para apoyar a los países en recopilar, analizar y utilizar los indicadores ODS en la toma de decisiones. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAddressing the climate change and poverty nexus
A coordinated approach in the context of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement
2019Also available in:
No results found.Climate change threatens our ability to ensure global food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development. About 736 million people live in extreme poverty, and the global response to climate change today will determine how we feed future generations. By 2030, UN member countries have committed to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger for people everywhere. As ending poverty and hunger are at the heart of FAO’s work, the organization is helping countries develop and implement evidence-based pro-poor policies, strategies and programmes that promote inclusive growth and sustainable livelihoods, as well as to increase the resilience, adaptive and coping capacity of poor and vulnerable communities to climate change. In order to achieve this, FAO encourages an integrated Climate-Poverty Approach to support policy development and action by policymakers, government officials, local-level institutions, communities, researchers, and development and humanitarian agencies worldwide. The Approach has been developed with insights from many perspectives, and includes not only climate and poverty aspects, but also indigenous, gender, food security, disaster response, resilience, SIDS and coastal community perspectives, among others. With a series of policy recommendations and tools to improve the design, delivery, and results of synergies and linkages between climate mitigation and adaptation, poverty reduction and food security actions, these synergies and linkages can make significant contributions towards achieving both the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Agreement targets. -

This paper includes joint FAO and WHO work to evaluate the latest information and scientific evidence available on the functional and safety aspects of food probiotics, as well as the methodology to assess such aspects, by bringing together worldwide scientific experts in the field. It includes the reports of the expert consultation and of the working group. These reports provide scientific advice in relation to the safety assessment of probiotics, general guidance for their evaluation and on specific questions in relation to their pathogenicity, toxigenicity, allergenicity, as well as to their functional and nutritional properties. The guidelines for the evaluation of probiotics in foods were developed as part of this joint effort, providing criteria and methodology to assess the efficacy and the safety of these products.
