Book (stand-alone)General interest bookÉtat des forêts méditerranéennes 2018 2020
Also available in:
The Mediterranean region has more than 25 million hectares of Mediterranean forests and about 50 million hectares of other Mediterranean wooded lands. They make crucial contributions to rural development, poverty alleviation, food security, as well as, the agricultural, water, tourism, and energy sectors. Changes in climate, societies, and lifestyles to create appropriate financial incentives and tools. in the Mediterranean region could have serious negative consequences for forests, with the potential to lead to the loss or diminution of those contributions and to a wide range of economic, social and environmental problems. In the future, Mediterranean forests will support agriculture and human wellbeing. It is therefore crucial to improve policies, practices, and to promote sustainable management to provide social and economic benefits as well as to increase the resilience of ecosystems and societies. This new edition of the State of Mediterranean Forests aims to demonstrate the importance of Mediterranean forests to implementing solutions to tackle global issues such as climate change and population increase. Part 1: The Mediterranean landscape: importance and threats. Despite the important natural capital provided by Mediterranean forests, they are under threats from climate change and population increase and other subsidiary drivers of forest degradation. Part 2: Mediterranean forest-based solutions. Forests and landscape restoration, adaptation of forests and adaptation using forests, climate change mitigation, and conserving biodiversity are additional and complementary approaches to address the drivers of forest degradation to the benefit of populations and the environment. Part 3: Creating an enabling environment to scale up solutions. To scale up and replicate forest-based solutions, there is a need to change the way we see the role of forests in the economy, to put in place relevant policies, more widespread participatory approaches, to recognize the economic value of the goods and services provided by forests and, ultimately, to create appropriate financial incentives and tools. -
Book (series)FlagshipLa situation des forêts du monde 2020
Forêts, biodiversité et activité humaine
2020Alors que la Décennie des Nations Unies pour la biodiversité 2011-2020 touche à sa fin et que les pays se préparent à adopter un cadre mondial pour la biodiversité pour l’après-2020, la présente édition de La Situation des forêts du monde (SOFO) examine la contribution des forêts, et des personnes qui les utilisent et les gèrent, à la conservation et à l’utilisation durable de la biodiversité. Les forêts recouvrent à peine plus de 30 pour cent de la superficie des terres émergées et cependant elles abritent une vaste majorité des espèces végétales et animales terrestres connues. Malheureusement, les forêts et la biodiversité qu’elles renferment demeurent menacées par la conversion en terres agricoles ou par une exploitation, pour une grande part illégale, à des niveaux non durables.La Situation des forêts du monde 2020 récapitule les avancées qui, à ce jour, nous rapprochent des cibles et des objectifs mondiaux relatifs à la biodiversité des forêts, et analyse l’efficacité des politiques, actions et démarches en matière de conservation et de développement durable. Des études de cas fournissent des exemples de pratiques novatrices qui combinent conservation et utilisation durable de la biodiversité des forêts pour créer des solutions où s’équilibrent l’intérêt des populations humaines et celui de la planète. -
Book (series)FlagshipLa Situation des forêts du monde 2022
Des solutions forestières pour une relance verte et des économies inclusives, résilientes et durables
2022L’édition 2022 de La Situation des forêts du monde s’inscrit dans la suite de la Déclaration des dirigeants sur les forêts et l’utilisation des terres (Déclaration de Glasgow), par laquelle 140 pays se sont engagés à stopper le recul des forêts d’ici à 2030 et à apporter un appui à la restauration et à la gestion durable des forêts. Elle explore le potentiel offert par trois solutions forestières dans la perspective d’une relance verte et de la lutte contre des crises planétaires multidimensionnelles, parmi lesquelles le changement climatique et la perte de biodiversité.Les trois solutions forestières, qui sont liées entre elles, consistent à mettre un terme à la déforestation et préserver les forêts; à restaurer les terres dégradées et développer l’agroforesterie; et à assurer une utilisation durable des forêts et créer des chaînes de valeur vertes. La mise en pratique, simultanée et équilibrée, de ces trois solutions peut permettre, dans des conditions de durabilité, de produire des avantages économiques et sociaux pour les pays et leurs communautés rurales, de répondre à une demande mondiale en matières premières qui va croissant et de relever les défis environnementaux.L’édition 2022 réunit un ensemble de données qui démontrent la faisabilité et l’intérêt des solutions forestières et elle énonce les mesures qui pourraient être prises initialement pour avancer sur la voie de leur réalisation. Il n’y a pas de temps à perdre – il faut agir aujourd’hui pour maintenir le réchauffement climatique en deçà de 1,5 °C, réduire le risque que de nouvelles épidémies surviennent, assurer à tous la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition, éliminer la pauvreté, préserver la biodiversité de la planète et donner à la jeunesse l’espoir d’un monde meilleur et d’un avenir meilleur pour tous.

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.

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.
