Also available in:
No results found.Serbia is highly exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards. According to the data available and the INFORM 2015 Risk Index, the country ranks at 87 in the world vulnerability list, with evidently the highest score in the region. The major natural hazards to which Serbia is exposed include floods, drought, storms, heavy rain, atmospheric discharge, hail, landslide or landslip, extreme air temperatures, ice accumulation on the water flow, earthquakes, epidemic livestock diseases and the emergence of pests, and other large-scale natural phenomena, which may endanger the health and lives of people or cause extensive damage. Floods and droughts are the most severe forms of natural disasters in the country, impacting a large number of the population and causing significant economic losses, with the agriculture sector being one of the most affected. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureBuilding resilience to cope with climate change in Jordan through improving water use efficiency in the agriculture sector بناء القدرة على التكيف مع تغير المناخ في الأردن من خلال تحسين كفاءة استخدام المياه في قطاع الزراعة 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Jordan is one of the most water scarce countries in the world and climate change is threatening the livelihoods of thousands of people who depend on agriculture for their well-being. Climate change induced hazards such as droughts, extreme temperatures and flash floods have almost tripled in the country since the 1980s, compared to a doubling worldwide, exposing the population to loss of life, livelihoods and property. This factsheet will give the reader a breief about this project, valued at USD 33.25 million, which specifically targets four Governorates in the Dead Sea Basin – Karak, Madaba, Talifah and Ma’an – which are particularly vulnerable to climate change and climate-induced water stress. The 840 900 inhabitants of these areas are heavily dependent on rainfed agriculture, have high poverty rates among the rural population, and have insufficient know-how and resources to adapt to a changing climate. In line with the objectives of Jordan’s climate change policy (2013–2020) and the National Adaptation Plan (2020), project investments are expected to reach 212 416 people (47% of whom are women), reduce groundwater overdraft by 3% to 3.5%, and contribute up to 4.5% to the water management goals in the National Water Strategy. يعد الأردن أحد أكثر البلدان ندرة في المياه في العالم، ويهدد تغير المناخ سبل عيش الآلاف من الأشخاص الذين يعتمدون على الزراعة في رفاهيتهم. وقد تضاعفت المخاطر الناجمة عن تغير المناخ مثل الجفاف ودرجات الحرارة القصوى والفيضانات المفاجئة ثلاث مرات تقريبًا في البلاد منذ الثمانينيات، مقارنة بتضاعفها في جميع أنحاء العالم، مما يعرض السكان لخسائر في الأرواح وسبل العيش والممتلكات. ستعطي نشرة الحقائق هذه للقارئ نبذة مختصرة عن هذا المشروع، الذي تبلغ قيمته 33.25 مليون دولار أمريكي، والذي يستهدف على وجه التحديد أربع محافظات في حوض البحر الميت - الكرك ومادبا والطليفة ومعان - المعرضة بشكل خاص لتغير المناخ والتأثيرات المناخية. ضغط الماء. ويعتمد سكان هذه المناطق البالغ عددهم 840900 نسمة اعتمادا كبيرا على الزراعة البعلية، وترتفع معدلات الفقر بين سكان الريف، وليس لديهم ما يكفي من الدراية والموارد للتكيف مع تغير المناخ. وتماشياً مع أهداف سياسة الأردن بشأن تغير المناخ (2013-2020) والخطة الوطنية للتكيف (2020)، من المتوقع أن تصل استثمارات المشروع إلى 212416 شخصاً (47% منهم نساء)، وتقليل السحب على المياه الجوفية بنسبة 3% إلى 3.5%. %، والمساهمة بما يصل إلى 4.5% في أهداف إدارة المياه في الاستراتيجية الوطنية للمياه.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
