Synopsis (short abstract) This user guide describes how to use the Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) Toolbox: Woodfuel Assessment in Displacement Settings for supporting field-based actors who are directly involved in the management of natural resources and protection of crisis-affected populations. This tool provides guidance for assessing, monitoring and planning energy-related interventions. The SAFE Toolbox is an Excel-based application, which supports the systematic collection and analysis of multi-sectoral field data on energy needs, woodfuel resources and associated risks and challenges faced by people in displacement settings. The SAFE Toolbox is intended to support the identification of the baseline situation in which no intervention to address the energy needs of displaced and host communities has been carried out. The tool can be used to establish the baseline setting and to develop alternative scenarios to compare against the baseline. The user can simulate alternative scenarios in which improved cooking technologies and new tree plantations are introduced to increase energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption and improve woodfuel supply. These scenarios facilitate the planning of interventions to contribute to safe and sustainable access to energy for cooking and to reduce environmental impacts and other associated risks in displacement settings.

    Building resilience through Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE)
    Moving towards a comprehensive SAFE Framework
    2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Globally, nearly 3 billion people rely on traditional biomass, such as fuelwood, charcoal or animal waste, as sources of fuel for cooking and heating. The multi-sectoral challenges related to energy access make it crucial to view the issue in a broader frame. FAO’s work on Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) adopts a holistic, multi-faceted approach which takes into account the mutually reinforcing linkages between energy and nutrition, disaster risks and climate change, conflict, health, gender, protection and livelihoods. This publication aims at providing a comprehensive framework for FAO to mainstream energy access for crisis-affected population in the resilience programming.

    Evaluación de los recursos forestales mundiales 2025 2025
    Also available in:
    La FAO completó su primera evaluación de los recursos forestales mundiales en 1948. Desde entonces, la Evaluación de los Recursos Forestales Mundiales (FRA) se ha convertido en una evaluación exhaustiva de los recursos forestales, su estado, gestión y usos, que abarca todos los elementos temáticos de la gestión forestal sostenible. Esta, la más reciente de estas evaluaciones, examina el estado y las tendencias de los recursos forestales durante el período 1990-2025, aprovechando la labor de cientos de expertos de todo el mundo. Los resultados de la FRA 2025 están disponibles en varios formatos, incluyendo este informe, un artículo interactivo sobre las principales conclusiones y una base de datos en línea en https://fra-data.fao.org.

    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.
