Postcard
2016The front of the postcard provides a short description on Soil contamination(definition, cause, key facts) while the back gives the worldwide conditions and trends by region. The data given here is derived from information published in the Status of the World's Soil Resources report, released in December 2015.

Zambia and Zimbabwe Kavango-Zambezi (KaZa) Project
2021Also available in:
No results found.The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme in the Kavango-Zambezi (KaZa) site promotes Community Conservancies as a way to improve land-use planning and management. The KaZa Project is coordinated by the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD). In Zambia, CIRAD is implementing the project activities in partnership with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). The SWM Programme is developing innovative solutions based on field projects in thirteen countries. It is a seven-year (2018-2024) Organisation of the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) initiative, which is being funded by the European Union with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment. It is the first international initiative to tackle the wild meat challenge by addressing both wildlife conservation and food security. The SWM Programme mobilizes an international group of partner organizations with strong expertise and experience in wildlife conservation, food security and policy development. It is implemented through a consortium partnership, which includes the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), CIFOR, CIRAD and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRégimes alimentaires sains et durables
Principes directeurs
2020Compte tenu de l’impact néfaste des systèmes alimentaires actuels sur l’environnement, et des préoccupations soulevées quant à la durabilité de ces derniers, il apparaît comme urgent de promouvoir des régimes alimentaires qui soient sains et aient de faibles impacts sur l’environnement. Ces régimes alimentaires doivent également être socio-culturellement acceptables et accessibles à tous sur le plan économique. Reconnaissant l’existence d’opinions divergentes dans ce domaine, les pays ont demandé l’avis de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) et de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) sur ce qui constitue des régimes alimentaires sains et durables. Les principes directeurs présentés ici adoptent une approche holistique concernant les régimes alimentaires. Ils prennent en compte les recommandations internationales en termes de nutrition, le coût environnemental de la production et de la consommation alimentaires ainsi que la capacité d'adaptation aux contextes sociaux, culturels et économiques locaux. Ces principes directeurs soulignent le rôle de la consommation et des régimes alimentaires dans la contribution à la réalisation des ODD au niveau du pays, en particulier les Objectifs n° 1 (Pas de pauvreté), n° 2 (Faim « zéro »), n° 3 (Bonne santé et bien-être), n° 4 (Éducation de qualité), n° 5 (Égalité entre les genres) ainsi que n° 12 (Consommation et production durables) et n° 13 (Mesures relatives à la lutte contre les changements climatiques). Cette publication vise à soutenir les efforts réalisés par les pays pour transformer leurs systèmes alimentaires afin qu’ils contribuent à des régimes alimentaires sains et durables. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyDeep-ocean climate change impacts on habitat, fish and fisheries
FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 638
2019Also available in:
No results found.This publication presents the outcome of a meeting between the FAO/UNEP ABNJ Deep-seas and Biodiversity project and the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative. It focuses on the impacts of climatic changes on demersal fisheries, and the interactions of these fisheries with other species and vulnerable marine ecosystems. Regional fisheries management organizations rely on scientific information to develop advice to managers. In recent decades, climate change has been a focus largely as a unidirectional forcing over decadal timescales. However, changes can occur abruptly when critical thresholds are crossed. Moreover, distribution changes are expected as populations shift from existing to new areas. Hence, there is a need for new monitoring programmes to help scientists understand how these changes affect productivity and biodiversity. The principal cause of climate change is rising greenhouse gases and other compounds in the atmosphere that trap heat causing global warming, leading to deoxygenation and acidification in the oceans. Three-dimensional fully coupled earth system models are used to predict the extent of these changes in the deep oceans at 200–2500 m depth. Trends in changes are identified in many variables, including temperature, pH, oxygen and supply of particulate organic carbon (POC). Regional differences are identified, indicating the complexity of the predictions. The response of various fish and invertebrate species to these changes in the physical environment are analysed using hazard and suitability modelling. Predictions are made to changes in distributions of commercial species, though in practice the processes governing population abundance are poorly understood in the deep-sea environment, and predicted
