BookletTechnical studyA global methodology for the assessment of direct drivers associated with deforestation and degradation
Using Open Foris solutions for informed decisions
2025Also available in:
No results found.Despite international efforts and progress towards reducing deforestation and degradation, population growth, demand for natural resources and human dependence on forest ecosystems contribute to forest loss, ultimately impacting global climate and sustainable development efforts. Many studies have proven that small-scale or subsistence agricultural activities are the most prevalent direct driver of forest loss, requiring specific solutions to achieve food security, maintain livelihoods and adapt to future climate changes. This study uses satellite imagery, analysed with open-source tools from the Open Foris package (most notably the System for Earth Observation Data Access, Processing and Analysis for Land Monitoring [SEPAL]) to identify deforestation, degradation and associated direct drivers in six Central African countries. Dense time series are used to process hundreds of satellite image observations over the 2015–2020 period to automatically observe forest disturbances, which were then validated and associated with specific direct drivers through visual interpretation of high-resolution imagery. -
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.

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.
