    The 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement tied the knot between sustainable economic development and a climate-resilient, low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions future. Moving forward, accounting for potential changes in GHG emissions will be a vital component of any agricultural investment, project, or policy proposal under consideration by any country, institution, or organization. To support the international community’s efforts with quantifying changes in GHG emissions, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed the Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT). Based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodology, EX-ACT provides its users a consistent way of estimating and tracking the impact of agricultural, forestry, and other land-use (AFOLU) investments and policies on GHG emission levels. EX-ACT is a free, open-source, Excel-based model and is available in all UN languages, as well as Bahasa, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and German.

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities

    There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
