    Propuestas de financiamiento o inversiones para incrementar la resiliencia al cambio climático en los países del corredor SECO centroamericano - GCP/SLM/003/BCI 2025

    El Corredor Seco Centroamericano (CSC) es una de las ecorregiones más susceptibles a la variabilidad y el cambio del clima. Sus habitantes viven en la pobreza, la desigualdad, baja diversificación de los medios de vida y gestión inadecuada de los recursos naturales y servicios ecosistémicos. Los gobiernos tienen limitaciones para impulsar acciones que promuevan la resiliencia y adaptación al cambio climático. En agosto de 2015, el Consejo Agropecuario Centroamericano (CAC) declaró el estado de alerta en el sector agropecuario de sus países miembros, ante el comportamiento irregular de las lluvias registrado en los meses anteriores y la prevista incidencia del fenómeno de “El Niño” durante la segunda fase de la estación lluviosa y la temporada seca 2015 -2016. Esta declaratoria evidenció la creciente vulnerabilidad de la región frente al cambio climático y la urgente necesidad de definir e implementar una estrategia común de adaptación a mediano y largo plazo. En este contexto, el proyecto tuvo como objetivo brindar asistencia técnica a Honduras, Nicaragua y Panamá, que, tras una consulta a través del CAC, manifestaron su interés en participar en el diseño y la formulación de Propuestas de Financiamiento (PF) a ser presentadas al Fondo Verde para el Clima (FVC) por parte del BCIE, con el fin de fortalecer la resiliencia y la capacidad de adaptación al cambio climático en los territorios del CSC.

    Reducir la pérdida de alimentos y valorizar frutas y residuos para impulsar la sostenibilidad y rentabilidad de la industria del aguacate 2024
    Also available in:
    El aguacate, como otras frutas tropicales, es susceptible a la pérdida y a ser desperdiciado debido a su contenido de humedad y a su naturaleza perecedera. Factores como el cambio climático, la infraestructura inadecuada y los problemas de manipulación en las etapas de cosecha, empaquetamiento y transporte aumentan el riesgo de pérdida de alimentos, lo que afecta el suministro fruta y su calidad. Adoptar estrategias para reducir las pérdidas y maximizar el uso de los frutos dañados y residuos no comercializables es beneficioso para las empresas y los objetivos de sostenibilidad global, incluida la seguridad alimentaria y la acción climática. Al reducir las pérdidas y el desperdicio, los productores y las empresas también pueden aumentar su competitividad y resiliencia, y mejorar su reputación en el mercado y con los consumidores. Este informe técnico presenta ideas prácticas sobre cómo los actores que operan en las cadenas de valor del aguacate pueden minimizar la pérdida de alimentos y valorizar los residuos.La serie Frutas Tropicales Sostenibles destaca importantes avances, información técnica y buenas prácticas relacionadas con la resiliencia, sostenibilidad e inclusión en las cadenas de valor de frutas tropicales.

    Status of the World's Soil Resources: Main Report 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.

    The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
    Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
    2020
    Also available in:
    Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.

    Soil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
    Also available in:
    Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion.
