Rome, 17-20 March 1997. 1997The Twenty-second Session of the Committee on Fisheries was held from 17 to 20 March 1997. The Committee endorsed the Kyoto Declaration and Plan of Action on the understanding that its provisions are without prejudice to the rights and obligations of States under international law. Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and the USA reconfirmed their interpretation that the provisions of the Kyoto Declaration and Plan of Action would not affect the competency of, or change the current status in, other international organizations, including the International Whaling Commission. The Committee urged that the issues of excessive fishing capacity and fishing effort leading to overfishing should be given special consideration by FAO and Member Countries. The Committee reaffirmed that it was the mandate of FAO and of regional fishery bodies to take responsibility for collecting data, formulating research needs and recommending management options. The Committee emphasized the importance of the Code in the sustainable management and development of fisheries and urged FAO, other organizations and donors to provide assistance to attain the objectives of the Code at national, regional and sub-regional levels. The Committee agreed that a progress report on implementation of the Code should be presented every two years which would include information on FAO activities, proposed guidelines to implement the Code and on inter-regional programmes, as well as application at national level. Members wi ll provide information on national implementation using a questionnaire to be designed by the Secretariat. The Committee strongly endorsed the need for effective regional fishery organizations and arrangements in the framework of the Code of Conduct if fish stocks were to be managed in a sustainable and responsible manner. It agreed that FAO regional fishery bodies should be reviewed and evaluated in depth by their members on a case by case basis, taking full account of regional and membership d ifferences, in determining what measures might be taken to facilitate the strengthening of each body as appropriate and to report at the Twenty-third Session of COFI. The need for close coordination among FAO and non-FAO regional fishery bodies and, as appropriate, with other organizations such as the World Bank and active fishery projects was also stressed. It approved the report of the Fifth Session of its Sub-Committee on Fish Trade and accepted the invitation to hold the Sixth Session of the Sub-Committee on Fish Trade in conjunction with the seafood exhibition "Fisch '98" in Bremen, Germany. The Committee endorsed the three broad fisheries programme objectives for the medium-term: increased contribution to world food supplies and food security, sustainable and responsible management, and global monitoring and strategic analysis. It acknowledged that, in setting priorities for the fisheries programmes, there should be a balance between the needs of developing and developed countrie s and between normative and operational activities, and that the three medium-term objectives are closely interlinked. The Committee gave high priority to implementation of the Code of Conduct, including preparation of technical guidelines and practical initiatives in fisheries management and aquaculture, and strengthening the role of regional fisheries bodies. Finally, the Committee recalled the increasing contribution played by aquaculture and artisanal fisheries to fish production, food secur ity, employment and income of rural population and called for priority to be given to the sustainable development of environmentally sound aquaculture and artisanal fisheries in inland, continental and coastal waters.

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.
