A Regional Programmatic Framework for Forest and Landscape Restoration
2024Also available in:
No results found.RESULT Asia-Pacific aims to realize a consolidated regional restoration target of at least 100 million hectares of degraded forests, forestland, agriculture, urban and other lands across Asia-Pacific by 2030. The Framework was designed in line with the Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan on Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Asia and the Pacific is home to 4.3 billion people and is undergoing rapid economic growth with rising demand for food and natural resources. However, an estimated more than 500 million hectares of the land and resource base is degraded. Degraded landscapes provide diminished goods and ecosystem services, food security, livelihood opportunities, and climate change resilience. In 2017, the Asia Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC) endorsed an Asia-Pacific Regional Strategy and Action Plan for FLR (RSAP). Many of the countries have significant restoration targets and ongoing efforts. However, the efforts are far below the scale required to transform the region’s degraded landscapes and meet national and global aspirations related to sustainable development, food security, health, biodiversity and climate change. This Regional Programmatic Framework for FLR seeks to advance the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-30 in Asia in line with the strategic priorities of the RSAP. It aims for scaled-up high-quality FLR on the ground through a common overarching vision, innovative partnerships and financing, context based multi-disciplinary approaches, and a joint monitoring protocol. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileRinderpest and its eradication 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This book tells the story of rinderpest and its eradication. The focus is on the international coordination that came together after the Second World War in the confident belief that, with vaccines available, the eradication of rinderpest was a practical possibility. In both Africa and South Asia, beginning in the 1960s, there was an initial dramatic success through the coordinated vaccination of cattle across the continents. Unfortunately, follow-up measures could not prevent the return of epidemic rinderpest, albeit to a lesser extent. Chastened by failure, the international community refocused with renewed energy to achieve eradication. The vaccination programmes broadened to reflect a multidisciplinary approach to disease eradication. FAO and the OIE, together with international aid agencies, coordinated policy with the nation states and guided implementation of the era¬dication programmes until success was achieved. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Insecurity in the World 2008
High food prices and food security – threats and opportunities
2008The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2008 represents FAO’s ninth progress report on world hunger since the 1996 World Food Summit (WFS). In previous editions, FAO has expressed deep concern over the lack of progress in reducing the number of hungry people in the world, which has remained persistently high. This year’s report focuses on high food prices, which are having a serious impact on the poorest populations in the world,drastically reducing their already low purchasing power. High foo d prices have increased levels of food deprivation, while placing tremendous pressure on achieving internationally agreed goals on hunger by 2015. This report also examines how high food prices present an opportunity to relaunch smallholder agriculture in the developing world. -
