No results found.This report summarizes the presentations, discussions and recommendations of the 2010 session of the Joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eels which took place in Hamburg, Germany, from 9 to 14 September 2010. In this section, the main outcomes from the report are summarized, a forward focus is proposed in the light of observed declines in many Anguillid stocks and the implementation of the EU Regulation for the Recovery of the Eel Stock and the main recommendations are presented by WGEEL. The Work ing Group in 2010, along with SGIPEE, has focused on five main themes, updating the recruitment and stocking time-series, including a spatial analysis, undertaking a preliminary post-evaluation at the EMU and international level as a model for future post-evaluations, providing support for local population assessments and filling methodological gaps in surveys in support of estimating biomass and mortality, updating the EEQD and making preliminary assessments of spawner quality and summarizing s ome advancements in the scientific basis for advice and eel conservation. The objective of eel stock assessment is to quantify the biomass of silver eel escaping from the Eel Management Unit (EMU) in order to assess compliance with the EU target of 40% of pristine biomass without anthropogenic mortality. Given that it will be impractical to directly assess silver eel biomass and mortality in many rivers, yellow eel stock assessment will also be required. In conjunction with SGIPEE and POSE, the Working Group identified a number of areas where gaps in knowledge existed (i.e. silver eel assessment, yellow to silver transformation, quantification of habitat) and focused on these in order to provide support for local stock assessments. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the 2009 Session of the Joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eels, Göteborg, Sweden, 7-12 September 2009 2010

No results found.This Report summarizes the presentations, discussions and recommendations of the 2009 session of the Joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eels which took place in Göteborg, Sweden, hosted by the Swedish Board of Fisheries, from 7 to 12 September 2009. In this section, the main outcomes from the report are summarized, a forward focus is proposed in the light of the EU Regulation for the Recovery of the Eel Stock and the main recommendations are presented. It is clear from this Report that recrui tment is still low and in many time-series it continues to fall, the stock is in decline and urgent protection measures are required. Significant pressures have been placed on the scientific and technical system to support the delivery of Eel Management Plans by December 2008. This challenging situation has continued though 2009 with the evaluations of submitted plans taking place. The evaluation of eel management plans has been carried out by the ICES Secretariat as a technical evaluation and r eview service. Eel experts from the ICES communities, especially the joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eel, have been involved on an ad hoc technical/expert consultant basis. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the 2012 Session of the Joint EIFAAC/ICES Working Group on Eels, Copenhagen, Denmark, 3–9 September 2012
Copenhagen, Denmark. 3–9 September 2012
2012Also available in:
No results found.The Joint EIFAAC/ICES WGEEL met in 2012 in ICES HQ, Copenhagen, Denmark. ICES has provided advice on eel since 1999. Following long-term declines in recruits (e.g. glass eel since 1980, yellow eel since 1960s) and landings (since 1960s), the urgent compilation of a management plan was recommended, aiming at a recovery of the stock. Suggested eel-specific management targets were based on precautionary reasoning and general considerations. In 2007, the EU adopted the Eel Regulation, which led to t he development of Eel Management Plans by 2009. Implementation of these plans has generated much more data, and further research studies have been executed. Reporting to the EU in 2012 by Member States on their post-evaluation of the implementation of the first three years of the Regulation will enable the first compilation of the implemented management actions and the stock indicators. This should facilitate the planned post-evaluation by ICES of the international eel stock. The Terms of Refere nce for the 2012 WGEEL was framed with this approach in mind. The WGEEL meeting was organized on a general agreed agenda and task based meetings with discussion plenary sessions. The report comprises six main chapters in two sections, the first section addresses data, trends and information for current advice in four chapters, the second section addresses International Stock Assessment, the planning for the review of reported local stock assessments and stock indicators, delivered by EU Member S tates, including a preliminary assessment of the information currently available to the WGEEL. A final third section in the report summaries other areas of WGEEL activity.

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 (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
