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.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyExemplary forest management revisited
Insights from successes and challenges
2025Also available in:
No results found.This study revisits 25 forest management cases originally highlighted in FAO’s “In Search of Excellence” initiative to assess their long-term sustainability and derive lessons for future forest governance. Against a backdrop of global deforestation and land degradation, the research underscores the evolving concept of sustainable forest management, which integrates ecological, economic and social dimensions. The selected cases span Asia-Pacific, Central Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, representing diverse forest types, ownership models, and management objectives.Using a standardized methodology – including desk research, interviews and field visits – the study evaluates changes in forest condition, governance, stakeholder participation, and financial viability. Results reveal that while 14 cases maintained or improved forest management standards, 11 experienced decline, with key challenges linked to financial sustainability, tenure insecurity, and stakeholder disengagement. Conversely, progress was noted in forest planning, ecosystem services, and cultural value preservation.The findings highlight the importance of adaptive management, secure tenure, stakeholder inclusion, and diversified income streams, including payments for ecosystem services. Regulatory shifts, demographic changes, and climate impacts emerged as critical external drivers influencing forest outcomes. The study concludes that while maintaining excellence in forest management is challenging, adaptive, inclusive, and innovative approaches can sustain sustainable forest management over time, offering valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners and communities worldwide.
