    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    Also available in:

    The FAO and the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) of the Ministry of Agriculture of India have called this meeting to gauge how scientific progress on foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is changing the potential for control of the disease in South Asia and potentially, in areas with similar disease risk. The main themes are the potential of current FMD research for the development of improved vaccines and vaccination programmes; the optimization of control programmes based on comprehensive assessments of FMD epidemiology and of control options; regionally co-ordinated FMD programmes; and the growing FMD scientific output from Eurasia, which has the potential to create new and greater levels of control if public policy makes good use of the best science. This book of abstracts provides a guide to the main papers presented during the meeting.
