DocumentOther documentDatos forestales sin fronteras: Intercambio de conocimientos sobre los inventarios forestales nacionales y biodiversidad forestal en América Latina y el Caribe - Informe del taller
Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, 7 al 11 de Julio de 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.Este evento, celebrado en Antigua Guatemala del 7 al 11 de julio de 2025, reunió a representantes gubernamentales, expertos y organizaciones de toda América Latina y el Caribe con el fin de fortalecer el intercambio de conocimientos sobre los inventarios forestales nacionales (IFN) y la biodiversidad forestal en la región. El acceso a datos forestales precisos y transparentes es esencial para la gestión sostenible de los bosques y para dar seguimiento a compromisos internacionales como los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y la Evaluación de los Recursos Forestales Mundiales (FRA).
Organizado por la Red de Inventarios Forestales Nacionales de América Latina y el Caribe (Red IFN-LAC), con el apoyo de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO), el Instituto de Ciencias Forestales (ICIFOR) del INIA-CSIC, el Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial (FMAM/GEF) a través del proyecto CBIT-Forest, el programa Aim4Forests del Reino Unido y la Cooperación Española (AECID), este taller regional ofreció una plataforma para compartir buenas prácticas, fortalecer los conocimientos técnicos y explorar oportunidades de colaboración en el monitoreo forestal.
Los debates se centraron en la evaluación de la biodiversidad, la armonización de las variables de volumen, el uso de tecnologías de medición no destructivas y la promoción de datos forestales abiertos. El evento también contribuyó a consolidar la Red IFN-LAC, a planificar futuras actividades y a apoyar a los países en la actualización voluntaria de sus informes nacionales a la FRA.

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
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. -
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.
