Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2024
Building resilience to climate variability and extremes for food security and nutrition
2025Also available in:
Latin America and the Caribbean have seen a decline in hunger and food insecurity for two years, driven by social protection programs and post-COVID recovery. However, disparities persist, especially among women, rural populations, and vulnerable groups. The region is unlikely to meet most nutrition targets, and healthy diets remain expensive. Climate variability is increasing in the region, affecting food security across availability, access, utilization, and stability. This climate impact reduces agricultural productivity, disrupts food supply chains, and raises food prices. Vulnerable populations are most affected, with changing diets further exacerbating the situation. Climate change is worsening food security and the causes of malnutrition. -

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. -
Book (series)Technical reportInforme de la tercera Reunión de las Partes en el Acuerdo sobre medidas del Estado rector del puerto destinadas a prevenir, desalentar y eliminar la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada
Bruselas, 31 de mayo−4 de junio de 2021 (reunión virtual)
2021Las Partes debatieron los resultados del cuestionario para examinar y evaluar la eficacia del Acuerdo sobre medidas del Estado rector del puerto destinadas a prevenir, desalentar y eliminar la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada (Acuerdo sobre MERP), coincidiendo en que el cuestionario era un instrumento útil, al tiempo que señalaron la necesidad de introducir mejoras adicionales. La Partes encomendaron a la FAO el examen del cuestionario y acordaron que se cumplimentara cada cuatro años. Asimismo, tomaron nota de que, si bien se habían realizado progresos en cuanto al uso eficaz del Acuerdo para combatir la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada (pesca INDNR), persistían varios desafíos. Las Partes acogieron con satisfacción la útil información proporcionada por los órganos regionales de pesca (ORP) en relación con los progresos realizados en la aplicación del Acuerdo sobre MERP, y acordaron que era necesario un cuestionario normalizado para los ORP. Las Partes encargaron a la FAO que elaborase un primer proyecto de este cuestionario. Las Partes acogieron con satisfacción el prototipo del sistema mundial de intercambio de información y convinieron en que debería iniciarse una fase piloto. También reiteraron la importancia de la disponibilidad de información relativa a los puntos de contacto nacionales para el Acuerdo sobre MERP. Las Partes expresaron la importancia de recibir apoyo en la aplicación de mecanismos eficaces de seguimiento, control y vigilancia, así como en el cumplimiento de la normativa y en la puesta en práctica del sistema mundial de intercambio de información. La Secretaría anunció la puesta en marcha del portal mundial sobre desarrollo de la capacidad. Las Partes solicitaron que las deliberaciones sobre la elaboración de una estrategia para mejorar la eficacia del Acuerdo sobre MERP se encomendaran a un grupo de trabajo especial y aprobaron el mandato del Grupo de trabajo especial encargado de la estrategia para el Acuerdo sobre MERP. -

Brussels, 31 May − 4 June 2021 (Virtual meeting)
2021The Parties discussed the results of the questionnaire for the review and assessment of the effectiveness of the PSMA, agreeing that the questionnaire was a useful tool, whilst noting the need for further improvements. The Parties tasked the FAO to review the questionnaire, and agreed that the questionnaire would be completed every four years. Parties noted that whilst progress has been made in effectively using the PSMA to combat IUU fishing, a number of challenges remain. Parties welcomed the useful information provided by Regional Fishery Bodies (RFBs) related to progress made in the implementation of the PSMA, and agreed that a standardized questionnaire for RFBs is needed. Parties tasked FAO to develop a first draft of this questionnaire. The Parties welcomed the prototype of the global information exchange system (GIES) and agreed that it should enter a pilot phase. They also reiterated the importance of the availability of information related to the national contact points for the PSMA. The Parties expressed the importance of receiving support on the implementation of effective monitoring, control and surveillance, enforcement and the implementation of GIES. The Secretariat announced the launch of the Global Capacity Development Portal.
