The guide is designed to assist inspectors of IOTC fisheries accurately identify tuna and tuna like species, billfishes, sharks and other fish species commonly encountered when monitoring transhipments at sea or landings in ports, in the IOTC Area of Competence. It will also improve the accuracy of the information recorded and reported for species commonly caught in the IOTC tuna fisheries; and this in turn will improve the quality of information which the Commission will have to make management decisions. Ce guide d’identification des espèces a été élaboré par la Commission des thons de l’océan Indien pour améliorer la mise en oeuvre de la Résolution de la CTOI sur les mesures du ressort de l’État du port pour prévenir, dissuader et éliminer la pêche illégale, non déclarée et non réglementée. Le guide est conçu pour assister les inspecteurs des pêches de la CTOI à identifier les espèces de thonidés et espèces apparentées, les poissons à rostre, les requins et autres espèces de poissons couramment rencontrés lors du suivi des débarquements ou des transbordements des navires en mer ou dans les ports situés dans la zone de compétence de la CTOI. Ce guide vise à les assister à enregistrer et à rapporter les données précises sur les espèces couramment capturés dans les pêcheries thonières de la CTOI; cela améliorera la qualité de l’information dont la Commission bénéficiera pouvant être utilisées à des fins de gestion.

    To guide observers, samplers, as well as fishers in order to increase the recording and reporting of data on tu and bycatch species, IOTC has published a series of Species Identification Guides. These guides were published as per the recommendations of the Working Party on Ecosystems and Bycatch and the Scientific Committee, IOTC has developed Identification guides for marine turtles, billfishes, seabirds, and sharks and rays that maybe incidentally caught or otherwise interact with IOTC fisheri es targeting tu and tu-like species in the Indian Ocean. Species Identification Guide for tu and tu like species is being developed and will be published soon. There is no immediate plan to publish a guideline for cetaceans which are considered to important conflict with the tu fisheries.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    Also 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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
