Book (stand-alone)Scoping review on the role of social protection in facilitating climate change adaptation and mitigation for economic inclusion among rural populations 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Rural populations, especially small-scale producers and women, are disproportionately impacted by climate change since their livelihoods depend largely on natural resources and weather patterns. This paper reviews the available evidence on the role of social protection programmes in facilitating climate change adaptation and mitigation, with a specific emphasis on economic inclusion for agriculture-dependent households. The review also presents available evidence on the ability of social protection programmes to contribute to mitigation targets through reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and in easing the impact of climate mitigation policies on price inflation, job losses and income insecurity.The review underscores the importance of a systems approach. Both climate policies and social protection policies should incorporate specific elements to effectively complement each other. -

Book (stand-alone)Global assessment of the impact of plant protection products on soil functions and soil ecosystems 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This assessment focuses on three main services that plant protection impacts on soil can significantly affect: provisioning services for food, fibre, and fuel supply and regulating services for water quality and erosion. The Global Soil Partnership (GSP) at its 2016 plenary session requested that the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) complete “an assessment at global level of the impact of Plant Protection Products on soil functions and ecosystems”. It is an activity under the strategic objective SO2 and indirectly contributing to all FAO strategic objectives. The report aims to draw attention of organizations and policy makers concerned with food security, sustainable development and environment about the importance of plant protection products and their impacts on soils functions and ecosystems. The increasing use of plant protection products has led to widespread concerns about the effect of plant protection products on the environment and especially on human health. In response to these concerns, international agreements and national regulatory frameworks have been developed to regulate the use of plant protection products. The Global Soil Partnership (GSP) at its 2016 plenary session requested that the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) complete “an assessment at global level of the impact of Plant Protection Products on soil functions and soil ecosystems”. This publication presents the key findings of this assessment.
