Book (stand-alone)Technical bookConsidérations techniques relatives à l’établissement de niveaux d’émissions de référence pour les forêts et/ou niveaux de référence pour les forêts dans le contexte de la REDD+ au titre de la CCNUCC 2016Le présent document a pour objectif d’aider les pays qui souhaitent élaborer un niveau d’émissions de référence pour les forêts et/ou niveau de référence pour les forêts (NERF/NRF) dans le contexte de la REDD+ au titre de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC). Il fournit un aperçu détaillé des exigences de la CCNUCC pour l’élaboration des NERF/NRF, en résumant ses directives et en les traduisant en éléments clés à considérer pour leur élaboration.

Book (stand-alone)BrochureREDD+& FLEGT Au-delà de la théorie: Travailler ensemble pour renforcer la gouvernance forestière et atténuer les changements climatiques 2016a perte de couvert forestier contribue à un sixième des émissions annuelles de gaz à effet de serre, et contribue donc de manière significative au changement climatique. L’expérience atteste que les approches visant à réduire la déforestation, la dégradation des forêts et à renforcer la gouvernance forestière - telles que la réduction les émissions liées à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts (REDD+) et l’application des règlementations forestières, la gouvernance et les échanges comm erciaux (FLEGT) - peuvent être bien plus efficaces pour lutter contre la perte de forêts si elles sont mises en oeuvre conjointement. À ce jour, cependant, peu de pays ont capitalisé sur les synergies entre ces processus. Les similitudes largement reconnues entre les objectifs de la REDD+ et les initiatives du FLEGT constituent des opportunités claires d’action commune pour faire face à la déforestation et pour renforcer la gouvernance forestière. La REDD+ et le FLEGT partagent un certain nombre d’approches et d’objectifs et visent les mêmes acteurs - les parties prenantes d’entités gouvernementales du secteur forestier, les communautés locales et les peuples autochtones, ainsi que le secteur privé. Il s’agit de deux mécanismes incitatifs visant à promouvoir la gestion durable des forêts, et tous deux insistent sur l’importance de la gouvernance forestière pour y parvenir.

Book (series)FAO journalUnasylva: Les forêts et l’agenda climatique
No. 246. Vol. 67 2016/1
2016La publication de ce numéro d’Unasylva coïncide avec deux événements marquants pour les forêts. Les 196 Parties à la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques viennent de se réunir à la Conférence Paris climat 2015 en vue de négocier un accord qui soit en mesure de changer la donne en matière de changement climatique. Toujours à Paris, le Global Landscapes Forum 2015, Forum mondial sur les paysages, a été le théâtre de discussions de haut niveau portant sur la recherche et les politiques qui sous-tendent les questions d’utilisation des terres. La restauration des paysages forestiers est une pièce clé du puzzle.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (series)FAO journalRestoring the Earth - The next decade
Unasylva No. 252 - Vol. 71 2020/1
2020This Unasylva issue aims at showcasing forest and landscape restoration (FLR) opportunities and recent developments that have the power to upscale restoration, in order to achieving the Bonn Challenge pledge and other national and international commitments (Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD) Post-2020 Agenda, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) Land Degradation Neutrality, Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)) and addressing the needs of the UN Decade 2021-2030 on Ecosystem Restoration. The content adresses thematics of relevance to various audiences: i) flagship restoration initiatives that differ from the so-called “business-as-usual” as they channel more funds, better empower local stakeholders and provide enhanced technical assistance through partners’ coalitions; ii) technical advances that can spread FLR and have a huge potential to be mainstreamed for different reasons (low cost, adaptability, relevance to many ecosystems and contexts, ease of implementation…); iii) the enabling factors for restoration, i.e. coordination, policy environment, resources, knowledge and capacities, as these are the enabling conditions for action to take place on the ground. -
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.
