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.

ArticleJournal articleGlobal mass timber panel (MTP) industry during the COVID-19 pandemic: Initial findings
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.For nearly two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to affect global economies in various ways. It has been disrupting supply/value chains of manufacturers in all sectors, and the mass timber panel industry has not been an exception. However, the exact extent of the impact is difficult to measure by conventional means because the mass timber panel industry is specialty oriented and does not follow a commodity model of other forest products sectors. It has navigated without losses the global recession of 2008. Global surveys of the industry conducted before 2020 have hinted an exponential increase of its output volume (projected more than 2 million cubic meters for 2020) and a healthy growth in regions outside Central Europe. The objective of presented project was to use another survey designed to capture the effect of current crisis. The paper presents preliminary outcomes available ahead of the formal conclusion of that survey. Keywords: Cross-laminated timber, CLT, CLT business, CLT manufacturers, MTP business, MTP manufacturers, survey, industry survey. ID:3615115 -
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.
