No results found.The First meeting of the Regional Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing was held in Barbados on 1 and 2 March 2017. The Regional Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing (RWG-IUU) is a joint working group of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), and Organization for Fisheries and Aquaculture of Central America (OSPESCA). The 52 participating experts, representing 21 WECAFC Members, were presented with and discussed many aspects of IUU fishing. This first meeting contributed to: 1) increasing awareness and understanding of the IUU fishing problem in the Caribbean region; and 2) increasing capacity for a more effective collaboration in preventing, deterring and eliminating IUU fishing in the Caribbean region, with emphasis on experiences from other regions with vessel monitoring systems (VMS) and monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) supporting measures, as well as on international and regional instruments to combat IUU fishing, such as the 2009 FAO Port State Measures Agreement. The meeting also finalized and agreed on its ToRs and work plan for the 2017–2018 RWG-IUU period, to be endorsed by CRFM and WECAFC, and discussed elements to be included in a Regional Plan of Action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing (RPOA-IUU)/ La 1ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo Regional sobre la Pesca Ilegal, No Declarada y No Reglamentada se realizó en Barbados, los días 1 y 2 de Marzo de 2017. El Grupo de Trabajo Regional sobre la Pesca Ilegal, No Declarada y No Reglamentada (INDNR) es un grupo conjunto de la Comisión de Pesca para el Atlántico Centro Occidental (COPACO), del Mecanismo Regional de Pesca del Caribe (CRFM), y la Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (OSPESCA). Los 52 expertos participantes, representando 21 miembros de la COPACO, presentaron y discutieron varios asuntos sobre la pesca INDNR. Esta 1ª reunión - taller del GTR-INDNR contribuyó a: 1) aumentar la conciencia y el entendimiento sobre el problema de la pesca INDNR en la región del Caribe; y 2) incrementar las capacidades para una colaboración más efectiva en prevenir, desalentar y eliminar la pesca INDNR en la región del Caribe, con énfasis en las experiencias de otras regiones con sistemas de monitoreo de buques (VMS) y medidas de apoyo de seguimiento control y vigilancia (SCV), y de los instrumentos regionales e internacionales para combatir la pesca INDNR, tales como el Acuerdo de la FAO de 2009 sobre las Medidas del Estado Rector del Puerto. La reunión terminó acordando acoger los TdeR y el plan de trabajo para el período 2017-2018 del GTR-INDNR para su aprobación por el CRFM y la COPACO, y se discutieron los elementos para ser incluidos en el Plan de Acción Regional para prevenir, detener y eliminar la Pesca INDNR (PAR-INDNR). -

No results found.The 2nd meeting of the Regional Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing, was held in Barbados in the period 19 - 21 September 2017. Thirty-five fisheries Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) officers, fisheries managers and other experts from 16 WECAFC members participated in this meeting. At the meeting, the MCS officers were updated on the International Plan of Action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing (IPOAIUU), the Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels, and specific measures needed in the Caribbean region to effectively reduce IUU fishing. This technical meeting also discussed and agreed on various essential fisheries management measures, such as on fishing vessel marking and identification, the establishment of a regional fishing vessel record and regional IUU vessel lists. These measures will, once adopted by WECAFC allow the fisheries inspectors, coast guard, navy and port officials to easily identify fishing vessels and see if the vessels have the necessary authorizations to fish.
Este es el informe de la 2ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo Regional sobre la Pesca Ilegal No, Declarada y no Reglamentada, realizado en Barbados, el 19, 20 y 21 de septiembre de 2017. La reunión sirvió como la 2ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo sobre la Pesca Ilegal, No Documentada, y No Reglamentada de la Comisión de Pesca para el Atlántico Centro Occidental (COPACO), el Mecanismo Regional de Pesca del Caribe (CRFM), la Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (OSPESCA). Expertos de 16 países de la COPACO, e igualmente, expertos internacionales participaron de TM Tracking. Personal y personas de apoyo de la FAO también contribuyeron a la reunión. La participación en la reunión estuvo limitada por los dos huracanes de categoría 5, Irma y María, que afectaron varios países del Caribe, e igualmente a la Florida en las semanas anteriores a la reunión, e hizo que viajar a la reunión desde algunas de las islas, fuera imposible. El Grupo de Trabajo les deseó a los países que no pudieron asistir, una recuperación exitosa de la devastación que los afectó. Esta reunión fue posible por el generoso apoyo financiero recibido de parte de la DG Mare de la Unión Europea. Apoyo adicional fue recibido del Fondo del Proyecto GCP/SLC/001/WBK – Picudos del Caribe, coordinado por el Banco Mundial, financiado por el GEF, e implementado por la FAO y la COPACO. El Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación, Pesca, y Manejo de Recursos Acuáticos del Gobierno de Barbados fue también co-anfitrión de esta reunión.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
