No results found.The Meeting of the Global Record Specialized Core Working Groups (GRCGs) was held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 30 September to 2 October 2015. The GRCGs were created to deal with specific technical issues, upon request of the Global Record Informal Open-Ended Technical and Advisory Working Group (GRWG) at its first meeting in February 2015. At this first meeting of the GRCGs, experts in the areas of data requirements, data exchange and third party data gathered to advance the discuss ions and work started earlier in 2015, through the virtual workspace. During this meeting the experts completed the first round of discussions and agreed on: i) the data fields required for each information module of the Global Record, their inclusion level, data types and related reference lists (the result can be consulted in Appendix B, Resulting Information Modules); ii) the third party data providers that would enhance the Global Record system; iii) the data formats and data transmission me chanisms for the submission of data, and iv) the need for capacity development to support Members in participating in the Global Record. The conclusions are to be put forward to the GRWG at its next meeting. Work in the three areas is ongoing, with some issues pending further discussion and others, such as the role of IHS Maritime & Trade as a possible third party data provider, to be further considered by the GRWG.

FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -
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.
