    Contributions to the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework resulting from the partnership between FAO and the GEF in support of Latin American and Caribbean countries
    Target 02: Restore 30 percent of all degraded ecosystems
    2025
    Also available in:

    Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the objectives of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been instrumental in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biodiversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Goal 02: Restore 30 percent of all degraded ecosystems.To this end, ecological restoration strategies, both active -mainly afforestation- and passive -removing disturbing agents-were designed and implemented in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Target 03 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Target 03: Conserve at least 30% of lands, waters and seas.A significant contribution was made to increasing the areas set aside for conservation and their effective management in Argentina, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

    The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
    Overview
    2025
    Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change.

    Agrifood solutions to climate change
    FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
    2023
    Amid 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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.
