DocumentOther documentArchitecture pour la Réduction des Risques de Catastrophes : Pratiques clés pour les praticiens de la RRC 2014
Also available in:
La région de l’Afrique australe est très exposée aux aléas naturels, à savoir les cyclones, les inondations, la sécheresse et les tremblements de terre. Ce guide présente un certain nombre de cas d’architecture adaptative reproductibles et transposables en pratiques communautaires et nationales standards. L’objectif est de passer cette pléthore d’expériences en revue pour en faire le bilan et les convertir en pratiques capitalisées, en comportement de construction standard permettant de résister aux catastrophes et, au final, en politiques exécutoires. -

Les situations d’urgence récurrentes en Afrique australe1 causées par les aléas naturels et biologiques, tels que les inondations, les sècheresses, les cyclones, les ravageurs et les maladies, exposent un segment important de la population à des niveaux élevés de vulnérabilité. Cette vulnérabilité est encore davantage aggravée par les troubles civils, le VIH/SIDA et la récession économique. Le changement climatique, et notamment la plus grande fréquence et la plus forte intensité des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes, affecte le secteur agricole, augmentant ainsi les risques auxquels font face les populations rurales, dont la majorité dépend de l’agriculture pour leur subsistance et leur sécurité alimentaire. -

Also available in:
Ce document contient des directives pratiques sur les installations et les méthodes de stockage pour aider les exploitants agricoles de l’Afrique australe qui sont fortement exposés aux aléas naturels, tels que les cyclones, les sècheresses et les inondations principalement. En ef fet, en temps normal, un entreposage non optimisé des produits agricoles peut entraîner des per tes importantes, accroissant la vulnérabilité de ces exploitants agricoles. L’ef fet combiné des catastrophes naturelles e t des mauvaises pratiques d’entreposage pourrait entraîner des pertes énormes pour les petits exploitants agricoles, avec des effets dévastateurs du point de vue économique, mais aussi du point de vue de la sécurité alimentaire.

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. -
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 (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
