Book (series)Technical briefLegal frameworks and access to common pool resources 2004
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, local people and rural communities have assumed increasing prominence in strategies for natural resource management.This paper briefly reviews some of the central legal issues that are associated with this shift. In doing so, its goals are limited. It does not ad dress fundamental questions about when, where and what kind of management works, nor attempt to identify the political, social, economic and environmental ingredient s for success – subjects on which there is a huge, if still inconclusive, literature. -
DocumentWorking paperParticipatory Land Delimitation
An Innovative Development Model Based upon Securing Rights Acquired Through Customary and Other Forms of Occupation
2009Land Tenure Working Paper 13: Secure land rights are crucial if local populations are to engage actively as stakeholders in rural development. The task of identifying and protecting local rights in most African countries faces several major challenges like incorporating many different local land management systems within a single land management framework; devising a system that can adequately record dynamic and shifting patterns of land use that incorporate a range of de facto private, individu alised customary rights and areas of common use and, finally, coming up with a technical approach that is cost effective yet still accurate enough to establish borders and other features on official maps. In this context conventional western concepts of discrete, fixed land holding units – ‘the farm’ - are entirely inappropriate. They work for the relatively small number of private investor land holdings, but are of little use for registering customary rights rooted in shifting agriculture sy stems and the use of a wide range of resources through the year. The community delimitation model which is the subject of this volume has grown out of the experience of Mozambique and its widely acclaimed 1997 Land Law. The policy and legal development process has been supported by FAO from its inception in the pre-policy research stage, through to policy and legal development, and now implementation. It offers an excellent example of how to create the policy and legal environment within wh ich effective rights delimitation can take place. -

Rural livelihoods and access to forest resources in Mongolia
2006Also available in:
No results found.This paper represents part of an area of work in support of enhancing access to land and forest resources in support of rural livelihoods in Mongolia. . This synthesis report draws on field studies undertaken recently in five rural areas of Mongolia, covering all ecological zones from montane and northern taiga forest to arid forest in the Gobi. Our findings document and explain, with case studies and documentation from participatory analysis, the downward cycle of resource depletion and descend into poverty that is in action.

Book (series)FAO journal恢复地球—未来十年
Unasylva 252 - 2020年1月第71卷
2022本期Unasylva杂志旨在展示森林景观恢复（FLR）的机会和进展，这些机会和进展能扩大恢复的规模，以实现"波恩挑战"及其他国家和国际承诺（可持续发展目标（SDGs），《生物多样性公约》(CBD）2020年后议程、《联合国防治荒漠化公约》（UNCCD）土地退化零增长、《联合国气候变化框架公约》（UNFCCC）下的《巴黎协定》），并满足2021-2030年联合国生态系统恢复十年的需求。 杂志涉及与各受众相关的主题：i) 与所谓的 "一切照旧 "做法不同的旗舰恢复倡议，这些旗舰倡议能输送更多的资金，更好地赋予当地利益相关者权力，并通过合作伙伴联盟提供更多的技术援助；ii) 可以扩展森林景观恢复的技术进步，由于不同的原因（低成本、适应性、与许多生态系统和环境的相关性、易于实施等），这些技术进步很有可能成为主流。iii) 利于恢复的因素，即协调、政策环境、资源、知识和能力，这些因素都为在当地采取行动创造了有利条件。 -
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.
