Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetCorporate Framework to support sustainable peace in the context of Agenda 2030 2018
Also available in:
The objective of this corporate Framework (the ‘Framework’) is to guide the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in carrying out its mandate in its areas of competence and comparative advantage, i.e. food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture, towards a more deliberate and transformative impact on sustaining peace. Following the April 2016 Security Council and General Assembly resolutions on peacebuilding, the concept “sustaining peace” encompasses activities aimed at preventing the outbreak, escalation, continuation and recurrence of conflict, including addressing root causes and moving towards recovery, reconstruction and development. The United Nations Secretary-General has called on all UN entities to integrate the approach to sustaining peace in their strategic planning, and to regard sustaining peace as an important goal to which their work can contribute. This Framework is targeted at FAO as an organization, including all personnel and in all geographic locations. This Framework also speaks to all FAO’s member states and governing bodies, and guides member states’ expectations of the Organization, and collaboration with it. The Framework is based on a background document that details the rationale and FAO’s experience and comparative advantages in contributing to sustainable peace. A series of supporting documents will be prepared to accompany implementation of the Framework over time. In particular, Operational Guidelines will define how to implement the Framework in the context of FAO’s Strategic Framework. -
Book (series)Linking Nationally Determined Contributions and the Sustainable Development Goals through Agriculture
A methodological framework
2019Also available in:
No results found.This paper identifies potential “climate action-sustainable development pathways” spanning 17 major agricultural climate action categories and the 17 SDG targets. The aim of this mapping exercise is to explore the extent to which the two agendas are aligned for the prioritization of those climate actions that have the potential to co-deliver on the Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda. As the window of opportunity is closing to bridge the emission gap and adapt to climate change before it is too late, the inter-linked and mutually reinforcing climate and sustainable development agendas present a natural. framework for designing policies that leverage synergies between both. While the Paris Agreement and SDGs are generally planned and implemented in silos, their intersection in the agriculture sectors highlights an opportunity for integrated implementation. The methodological framework presented in this document attempts to facilitate the identification of policy and investment entry-points in the agriculture sectors that can accelerate progress across both agendas in tandem. The analysis aims to push national policy makers and decision makers, as well as international negotiators and global agenda setters, towards an integrated approach to climate action and sustainable development, particularly in the agriculture sectors, upon which 80 percent of the world’s poor and most vulnerable depend for their livelihoods. -
ProjectStrengthening non-State Mechanisms for Land Tenure in Darfur to Achieve Peaceful and Sustainable Development - GCP/SUD/074/EC 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Land ownership and rights to tenure and utilization of resources have been at the core of conflict in Darfur for decades. The formalization of the land laws in the 1970s, in which all unregistered land became the property of the state, ignored the traditional systems in place for centuries and weakened the native administration that governed land use. The violent conflict that arose in 2003 displaced a large number of rural communities and the newly vacated land was often occupied, and in places resettled, by nomadic groups. The subsequent peace deals, both the Darfur Peace Agreement and the subsequent Doha Document for Peace in Darfur, recognized the importance of not only returning the land to the original owners, but of developing a system of land tenure that secures the land use for future generations in an equitable manner. Such a system should acknowledge and incorporate the informal traditions within the formal registration system. Against this background, this European Union funded FAO project aimed to strengthen non state mechanisms for land tenure to achieve peaceful and sustainable development, and to support the Government of Sudan to reform its land laws to develop practical solutions to secure access to crop land and livestock routes, among others.
