    Building on the thematic evaluations undertaken by OED in the period 2014-17, this synthesis draws findings and lessons regarding the conceptualization, operationalization and results of the reviewed Strategic Framework. It concluded that the reviewed Strategic Framework is a significant and transformative step towards reorienting and repositioning a 70-year-old organization in a fast-evolving development landscape, to better address the emerging challenges to achieving FAO Members’ global goals and FAO’s vision. The reviewed Strategic Framework has fostered a new, inter-disciplinary way of working in FAO, broken traditional silos and placed new emphasis on partnerships. However, FAO faced several implementation challenges from issues relating to matrix management structure, skills and competencies in new thematic areas, and communication and resource mobilization for the Strategic Objectives, which constrained effectiveness. Looking ahead, the synthesis provides an analysis of the implications of recent global developments, such as the Agenda 2030 - Sustainable Development Goals, Climate Change Agreement and the UN Reform for the development of the next FAO Strategic Framework.

    Recarbonizing global soils – A technical manual of recommended management practices
    Volume 5 - Forestry, wetlands, urban soils – Practices overview

    During the last decades, soil organic carbon (SOC) attracted the attention of a much wider array of specialists beyond agriculture and soil science, as it was proven to be one of the most crucial components of the earth’s climate system, which has a great potential to be managed by humans. Soils as a carbon pool are one of the key factors in several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 15, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” with the SOC stock being explicitly cited in Indicator 15.3.1. This technical manual is the first attempt to gather, in a standardized format, the existing data on the impacts of the main soil management practices on SOC content in a wide array of environments, including the advantages, drawbacks and constraints. This manual presents different sustainable soil management (SSM) practices at different scales and in different contexts, supported by case studies that have been shown with quantitative data to have a positive effect on SOC stocks and successful experiences of SOC sequestration in practical field applications. Volume 5 includes 24 practices that have a direct impact on SOC sequestration and maintenance in forestry, wetlands and urban soils.
