Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideMapping together: A guide to monitoring forest and landscape restoration using Collect Earth mapathons 2021
Also available in:
Forest and landscape restoration monitoring is an important component of a well-rounded restoration implementation strategy. This guide serves to assist stakeholders in monitoring tree-based restoration, with a focus on trees outside forests, such as trees on agricultural and pastoral landscapes and within cities and towns—using a Collect Earth mapathon approach. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRestoring and sustaining landscapes together: a regional programmatic framework for forest and landscape restoration to advance the United Nations decade on ecosystem restoration in Asia 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Several challenges and barriers exist for successful implementation of Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR), particularly for smallholders and communities. These include conflicts of interest, land tenure issues, developing viable FLR models, capacity gaps and low access to financing. Past efforts in the region have not always been optimal in terms of quality of restored landscapes, analysis of local context and inclusion of stakeholders, and valorizing and funding the multiple restoration benefits among others. The Regional Programmatic Framework is an essential step forward for framing tangible partnerships and actions to address these barriers and challenges, and thereby helping countries scale up and enhance their FLR initiatives and outcomes. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyPromising cases of forest and landscape restoration in Asia and the Pacific
Based on the guiding principles of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
2024Also available in:
No results found.Forest and landscape restoration (FLR) is gaining momentum through the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021–2030. National commitments for FLR are increasing under the three Rio conventions (UNFCCC, CBD, UNCCD), the Bonn Challenge, the New York Declaration on Forests, the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forest and Land Use, and the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership. These restoration-linked targets and declarations at the global level also include countries in Asia and the Pacific, with a wave of regional-level FLR targets and initiatives such as the ASEAN Green Initiative, Landscape Partnership Asia and the Regional Strategy and Action Plan for FLR in Asia-Pacific. FLR ambitions and efforts on the ground are strong. Many different types of approaches, tools and innovative financing methods are being employed. Interest is also robust in upscaling successful FLR that can contribute to enhancing or maintaining the delivery of ecosystem services, addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, and promoting poverty alleviation, food security and economic development.In this context, the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, with support from the IUCN, has examined FLR experiences in the region to identify promising FLR cases in various country settings and ecosystem types. This publication presents 15 promising cases, selected from 150 projects, based on their alignment with the ten principles of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

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. 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.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also 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. -
