    The Pelagic and Demersal Fish Resources of North East Somalia - Results of two surveys with R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen in 1984. Final Report 1984
    Also available in:

    Since the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE, 1959-65), which produced abundant data on the oceanographic and biological environment, the seas off North East Somalia have been known to belong to the high productive areas of the world in terms of primary and secondary production, due to the seasonal upwelling occurring in the area. Even though direct data on fish resources were missing, it was assumed that the area could hold considerable fish resources. Based on the findings f rom IIOE, a joint programme between the Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) was set up to investigate the fish resources of the Arabian Sea. In the period from January 1975 to November 1976 the R/V “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” carried out five coverages of the coastal waters from Pakistan to Somalia. Based on the acoustic data collected during these surveys, the fish resources of Somalia were estimated to the avera ge level of 570 thousand tonnes for the small pelagic fish and 400 thousand tonnes for demersal fish, making it one of the most productive areas in the Indian Ocean. The dominating part of the pelagic stock was located between Ras Hafun and Ras Asir, which is also the center of the upwelling system. During the years 1983-84 the vessel returned to the region under the UNDP/FAO programme GLO/82/001 “Survey and identification of World Marine Resources”, with the purpose of investigating the hi gh productive regions located during the 1975-76 surveys. In agreement with the Ministry of Fisheries in Mogadishu two coverages of the region between Ras Asir and Ras Mabber were planned for February and August 1984. The main objectives of these surveys were to update the previous findings and provide more detailed information on the state of the resources with a more intensive sampling programme than during the earlier surveys.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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

    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.
