Book (stand-alone)Working paperPilot Testing of GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy in Indonesia 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) has produced a set of twenty-four indicators for the assessment and monitoring of bioenergy sustainability at the national level. The GBEP indicators are intended to inform policymakers about the environmental, social and economic sustainability aspects of the bioenergy sector in their country and guide them towards policies that foster sustainable development. FAO, which is among the founding members of the Global Bioenergy Partnership, tested the indicat ors in Colombia and Indonesia, with generous support from the International Climate Initiative (ICI) of the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Natural Resource, and Nuclear Safety of Germany. This report presents the results of the testing of the GBEP indicators in Indonesia. The testing provided Indonesia with an understanding of how to establish the means of a longterm, periodic monitoring of its domestic bioenergy sector based on the GBEP indicators. Such periodic monitoring would enhance the knowledge and understanding of this sector and more generally of the way in which the contribution of the agricultural and energy sectors to national sustainable development could be evaluated. The testing in Indonesia also provided a series of lessons learnt about how to apply the indicators as a tool for sustainable development and how to enhance their practicality. -

ProjectProgramme / project reportCapacity building on the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) sustainability indicators for bioenergy in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Countries
A project funded by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany Grant Agreement Number: 81227987 - Final Report
2019Also available in:
No results found.This report was developed in the framework of the project “Capacity Building on GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy in the ECOWAS countries” (GCP/RAF/515/GER-GIZ), funded by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany. The main aim of the project was to build or enhance existing capacities of local experts to understand, assess and implement the GBEP sustainability indicators for bioenergy in Togo and Ghana, and use them to inform bioenergy policy decision making. Activities were primarily based on the sharing of experience and lessons learnt from the full implementation of the GBEP sustainability indicators within the countries of other GBEP Partners, with a focus on wood energy. Furthermore, the project aimed to sensitize policy makers and relevant stakeholders in both of the ECOWAS target countries on the potential of bioenergy production and use to better contribute to GHG emission reductions by replacing fossil fuel and traditional biomass use, while harnessing socio-economic co-benefits. This report presents the main outcomes and lessons learned of the project in Togo and Ghana, where national workshops on bioenergy and trainings on the full implementation of the GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy were organized, with a focus on the wood energy pathway both at household scale and at productive level.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018 (SOFIA)
Meeting the sustainable development goals
2018The 2018 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture emphasizes the sector’s role in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and measurement of progress towards these goals. It notes the particular contributions of inland and small-scale fisheries, and highlights the importance of rights-based governance for equitable and inclusive development. As in past editions, the publication begins with a global analysis of trends in fisheries and aquaculture production, stocks, processing and use, trade and consumption, based on the latest official statistics, along with a review of the status of the world’s fishing fleets and human engagement and governance in the sector. Topics explored in Parts 2 to 4 include aquatic biodiversity; the ecosystem approach to fisheries and to aquaculture; climate change impacts and responses; the sector’s contribution to food security and human nutrition; and issues related to international trade, consumer protection and sustainable value chains. Global developments in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, selected ocean pollution concerns and FAO’s efforts to improve capture fishery data are also discussed. The issue concludes with the outlook for the sector, including projections to 2030. As always, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience, including policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTackling Climate Change through Livestock
A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
2013As renewed international efforts are needed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the livestock sector can contribute its part. An important emitter of greenhouse gas, it also has the potential to significantly reduce its emissions. This report provides a unique global assessment of the magnitude, the sources and pathways of emissions from different livestock production systems and supply chains. Relying on life cycle assessment, statistical analysis and scenario building, it also prov ides estimates of the sector’s mitigation potential and identifies concrete options to reduce emissions. The report is a useful resource for stakeholders from livestock producers to policy-makers, researchers and civil society representatives, which also intends to inform the public debate on the role of livestock supply chains in climate change and possible solutions. -
