    FAO is confirming its engagement to measure, reduce and offset the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to the Organization's operations, and is committed to reaching specific environmental objectives that are in line with the Strategy for Sustainability Management in the UN System 2020-2030 The main areas of focus for the FAO Corporate Environmental Responsibility Strategy 2020-2030 are:
    • reducing global emissions related to FAO operations by 45percent by 2030;
    • environmental mainstreaming in programmes and operations;
    • integrating environmental sustainability in procurement processes, project design and staff core competencies;
    • reconsidering travel policies to significantly reduce travel-related GHG emissions;
    • addressing energy use by increasing the use of renewables and avoiding the use of diesel generators, while at the same time reducing energy needs through behavioural changes and awareness campaigns;
    • improving waste management and water use by enhancing efforts to monitor, meter and report water usage and waste production while encouraging the implementation of efficiency measures and improving waste treatment.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.
