The Green Climate Fund Handbook for North Macedonia was prepared by the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, under the leadership and guidance of the Cabinet of the Deputy President of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in charge of Economic Affairs as National Designated Authority to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). This technical document was developed in the context of the implementation of the first GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support grant, under the overall coordination of Ms Tania Santivanez, Lead Technical Officer and Ms Carmen Arguello Lopez, FAO GCF Advisor. The document introduces key facts about the Green Climate Fund. It aims to provide guidance to stakeholders engaged in the area of climate change and sustainable development on how to access GCF resources and implement GCF-funded projects in North Macedonia. It is expected that these efforts will contribute to the successful implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions and to overall achievement of the objective of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and SDG 13 on Climate Action. -
ProjectFactsheetPlanning National Land and Forest Action to Mitigate Climate Change and Reduce Poverty in Equatorial Guinea - UNJP/EQG/010/UNJ 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Equatorial Guinea has a forest cover estimated at 2.5 million hectares, representing more than 90 percent of the national surface area. Despite this extensive cover, the estimated rates of forest loss (deforestation plus forest degradation) show a worrying upward trend, particularly for forest degradation. In line with its international and regional commitments, in 2012 Equatorial Guinea started its national process of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+). This project significantly contributed to moving forward the national REDD+ progress, engaging multiple actors in the fight against climate change. In order to address the causes of deforestation and forest degradation, and promote sustainable development, Equatorial Guinea decided to develop a National REDD+ Investment Plan. -
Book (series)Technical reportLegal report on the ecosystem approach to fisheries in Equatorial Guinea
An analysis of the ecosystem approach to fisheries in selected national policy and legal instruments of Equatorial Guinea
2025Also available in:
No results found.Legislating for the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of the EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, intersectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks.The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Equatorial Guinea with the EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are reflected in Equatorial Guinea's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAFThis report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Equatorial Guinea. Drafted in November 2021, the report was revised and resubmitted to the national authorities in August 2024. The report was endorsed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment in December 2024.

Recent developments such as the increase in the use of mobile-broadband access devices, the Internet of things (IoT), drones, smart networks, capacity for big data analytics, and artificial intelligence have provided agriculture stakeholders with some key tools and technologies to improve production and marketing processes, for example, in agriculture and allied fields. One of the most discussed technologies of late is Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT); Blockchain is one implementaiton of DLTs. This publication aims to demystify the technology, provide some thoughts on the opportunities and challenges in implementing blockchain-based systems as well as document some case studies on the use of blockchain for agriculture. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.
