Book (series)Technical reportInventory of Artisanal Fishery Communities in the Western and Central Mediterranean 2006
Also available in:
No results found.For years, the impoverishment of artisanal fishery in Mediterranean countries has been frequently reported at all levels when the urgency for intervention was systematically highlighted. In addition, it has also been reiterated that, at present, there is not enough knowledge either of the primary and secondary magnitudes of artisanal fishery or of the normative and managerial tools that cover the entire spectrum of competence. Information on artisanal fishery, in the wide sense, is fun damental for planning and management purposes. It is, therefore, extremely important to document all the elements which influence and interact directly or indirectly with artisanal fisheries, (e.g. synergies, conflicts or friction, possible interaction and connection, etc.). During the project Cooperation Networks to facilitate Coordination to Support Fisheries Management in the Western and Central Mediterranean (COPEMED), the first-ever inventory of regional artisanal fishery communit ies in the Central and Western Mediterranean was implemented. This was possible through direct assistance to some of the member countries to develop and improve their capacity to collect and analyse information on artisanal fisheries. The inventory resulted in a comprehensive list of all the fishing communities performing artisanal fisheries in the region, including their localization, description, use, pictures and other ancillary information. This exercise, based on 13 582 sites vi sited (interviewed), produced 11 papers, involved 16 scientists (regional and national), and also collected a selected bibliography of about 200 documents. Most of the results are presented in this paper. -

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. -
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.
