The evidence review provides justifications for making FBDG recommendations based on up-to-date and country-specific information, as well as the global evidence base. The evidence review increases the transparency of the evidence-based process in establishing the Myanmar FBDGs.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSimplified version of the Rupununi freshwater turtle management plan 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Rupununi Freshwater Turtle Management Plan was developed in response to alarming declines in local turtle populations, due to overharvesting, climate impacts, and the pet trade. The Rupununi region in Guyana is home to six freshwater turtle species, several of which are under increasing threat of extinction. Building on successful community-led conservation efforts supported by the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, the plan outlines coordinated management actions that can be voluntarily adopted by 26 local communities and other stakeholders. Its overarching goal is to stabilize and recover turtle populations through sustainable, collaborative interventions tailored to local contexts. -
Book (series)Technical study2018 Asia and the Pacific Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition
Accelerating progress towards the SDGs
2018Also available in:
No results found.During the last three years, progress at reducing undernourishment has slowed tremendously in Asia and the Pacific. After years of gains in combatting hunger, progress has stagnated in all parts of this vast region. Despite decades of economic growth, nearly half a billion people remain undernourished. Children, in particular, continue to face the burden of malnutrition – this region is home to more than half of the world’s malnourished children – with one child in every four below the age of five suffering from stunting. This is a colossal human loss, given the association between undernutrition and poor cognitive development, with severe lifelong consequences for these children. At the same time, and almost paradoxically, Asia and the Pacific has witnessed rapid growth in the number of overweight children and the serious consequences that entails for their future health and well-being. This double burden of malnutrition sees undernourished and overweight children living in the same communities and households and it can even occur within the same child. Efforts to fight hunger and malnutrition must go hand in hand with those to build and sustain peace and there is an urgent need to accelerate and scale up actions that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity of people and their livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. As migration from rural to urban areas continues apace, particularly involving poorer families, urban malnutrition is another challenge facing many countries. In summary, what is becoming increasingly clear is that the world cannot meet the 2030 target of zero hunger if Asia and the Pacific – the world’s most populous region – is not leading the way. It is a hard reality but one that must be faced with a united determination to turn things around. For the first time, four UN agencies have come together to jointly assess the state of food security and nutrition in Asia and the Pacific. Together, we hope that the findings of this report will contribute to a more informed dialogue. Without doubt, all stakeholders must make much greater efforts to accelerate progress toward the goals of a healthy and hunger-free Asia and the Pacific. Action is needed now. The sense of urgency cannot be overstated. -
