    The project "Securing the Future of World Agriculture in the face of climate change by conserving the Genetic Diversity of the Traditional Ecosystems of Mexico”, executed between 2018 and 2023 by the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO), aimed to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity in Mexico. The evaluation results highlight both the project`s high relevance to national and global priorities by its contribution to the supply of nutritious food, genetic diversity conservation, and resilient production systems in the face of climate change; and its coherence, which fostered internal and external collaborative relationships. Furthermore, achievements in knowledge availability, capacity development, inter-institutional coordination, and communication strategies are also noteworthy. Recommendations underscore joint efforts to ensure sustainability, suggesting the establishment of a joint working group between CONABIO and FAO to develop a strategy for institutionalizing project results.

    The recently released Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000) was based on an intensive, five-year effort carried out by FAO in cooperation with national forestry agencies from nearly every country of the world, a large number of research centres and academic institutions, and a number of international, regional and non-governmental organizations. Within the framework of the FRA programme, a vast amount of information on the status and trends in forest area, natural forests, plantations, pro tected areas, sustainable forest management and other, related variables, was collected and analysed.
