Book (stand-alone)FAO/IPCC Expert meeting on land use, climate change and food security 2017
Also available in:
No results found.One hundred scientists, economists and policy experts participated in a three-day expert meeting (EM) to engage in a high-level, globally oriented, and multidisciplinary scoping of topics that climate change to land use and food security. The EM was structured around five themes: climate impacts and human-directed drivers of land change and linkages to food security; mitigation and adaptation options; and policies for resource management, smallholder resilience, mitigation and food and nutrition security. The present report offers a comprehensive synthesis of the EM findings and conclusions reflecting the collective view participants and external reviewers. The report is a valuable source for the IPCC above-mentioned Special Report, especially in relation to food security, as well to researchers and policy makers concerned with the policy implication of food security in relation to post-Paris climate action and Agenda 2030. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetOverview of land degradation neutrality (LDN) in Europe and Central Asia
LDN in Azerbaijan
2021Also available in:
No results found.Azerbaijan is located in the southern Caucasus, with mountains covering 47 percent of the country. Rapid development as a result of the oil boom has led to a decrease in poverty, but numerous sites are highly polluted with derived contaminants. To lessen its economy’s dependence on the oil sector, the acceleration of agriculture development is a major national strategic policy. Water scarcity represents a limitation for agricultural productivity causing degradation problems particularly severe and affecting the most vulnerable such as rural communities and smallholder farmers. Most of the population live in either rain-fed areas with high drought frequency or irrigated areas with high water stress, and severe land degradation is affecting their livelihoods.
