Also available in:
No results found.After the largest influx of Rohingya refugee in Bangladesh, the massive blow has destructed notable amount of forestlands in Cox's Bazar. Bangladesh Forest Department (BFD) recognized the necessity of land restoration in and around Rohingya camps. To support BFD with technical assistnce, FAO has prepared some maps on degradation of forest lands and restoration activities for the area. Different levels of land degradation were identified throughout Cox's Bazar South Forest Division between February 2017 and February 2018. Sentinel 2 multispectral 10 m images with maximum cloud cover of 10 percent were used to determine normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for each time period. Based on the NDVI values, five broad land cover classes were delineated - water, settlement, bare land, sparse vegetation, and dense vegetation. The two periods were then overlaid to observe land cover changes over the one year period. Finally, the resulting land cover changes were assigned to the following land degradation categories: High - dense vegetation to bare land, settlement, or water; Medium - sparse vegetation to bare land, settlement, or water; Low - dense vegetation to sparse vegetation. -

No results found.Cox’s Bazar has suffered extensive destruction of forestlands as a result of the massive influx of Rohingya refugee in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Forest Department (BFD) recognized the necessity of land restoration in and around the Rohingya camps. This map shows the degradation of forest lands and restoration activities for the area. Different levels of land degradation were identified throughout Cox's Bazar South Forest Division in the two mapping occurrences. The two sets of data were then overlaid to compare land cover changes over the one year period. -

Also available in:
No results found.Geographic locations of potential restoration activities were identified throughout Cox’s Bazar South Forest Division for restoring degraded landscapes and supporting vulnerable host and refugee communities. The areas were identified by analyzing the land cover categories in February 2018, considering land degradation between February 2017 and February 2018, and taking into account suitability analysis for six restoration activities for three zones – inside the camps (Zone A), one km buffer around the camps (Zone B), and within one to five km around the camps (Zone C). The activities are: • Land stabilization, • Land restoration, • Forest restoration, • Afforestation / reforestation, • Seedling distribution and • Habitat restoration Land degradation was determined by differences in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values using Sentinel 2 multispectral 10m images with a maximum cloud cover of 10 percent. Suitability analysis was conducted considering different factors (e.g., elevation, elephant route, road, river, flood occurrence, etc.) having implication for proposed restoration activities.

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. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
