ProjectFactsheetDevelopment of Pacific Regional Plan to Mainstream Biodiversity Across Agricultural Sectors, Including Fishery, Crops, Livestock and Forestry - TCP/SAP/3902 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to mitigate the negative impacts that productive sectors have on biodiversity and to establish sustainable, resilient agrifood systems in Pacific countries. To achieve this, the project successfully developed the “Pacific Action Plan on Mainstreaming Biodiversity Across Agricultural Sectors (2024-2030)” (Pacific Action Plan), following a highly consultative, multi-stakeholder process that identified priority needs and challenges across the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). This plan facilitates coordinated and cohesive action among stakeholders and ministries responsible for biodiversity across various sectors. The Pacific Action Plan was presented, distributed, and officially endorsed by FAO members during the 37th session of the Asia-Pacific Regional Conference (APRC) in February 2024. Following its endorsement, representatives from the Ministries of Agriculture (MoAs) of Pacific Islands were invited to participate in CBD sub-regional meetings, where they will collaborate with CBD national focal points to enhance the implementation of the GBF in 2024. -

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.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFacilitando sistemas alimentarios sostenibles
Manual para innovadores
2021Los sistemas alimentarios sostenibles son fundamentales para garantizar que las generaciones actuales y futuras tengan seguridad alimentaria y puedan llevar una dieta saludable. Para hacer la transición hacia la sostenibilidad, es necesario reconstruir muchas actividades del sistema alimentario, y un sinnúmero de actores en todo el mundo están empezando a actuar localmente. Si bien algunos cambios son más fáciles que otros, saber cómo navegar a través de ellos para promover prácticas de consumo y producción sostenibles requiere un conjunto complejo de aptitudes. El presente manual está dirigido a los "innovadores de sistemas alimentarios sostenibles", y es realizado por un grupo de innovadores de Asia, África, América y Europa que están dirigiendo iniciativas para cultivar, compartir, vender y consumir alimentos más sostenibles en sus contextos locales. Incluye experiencias que están cambiando las estructuras organizativas de los sistemas alimentarios locales para hacerlos más sostenibles. Esta guía está escrita como un libro donde “eliges tu propia aventura”. Cada lector – solo o en un grupo facilitado – puede desarrollar un viaje personalizado de aprendizaje y acción en línea con sus propias prioridades. Los temas tratados en esta guía son organizados en cuatro categorías de innovaciones: involucramiento de los consumidores, producción de manera sostenible, llevando los productos al mercado y organización. -
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.
