    Wildfires pose increasingly severe threats to people, ecosystems and climate stability worldwide, with their intensity and frequency escalating due to land use changes and climate change. While fire remains an essential traditional land management tool for Indigenous Peoples and smallholders, the challenge lies in managing destructive wildfires while preserving beneficial controlled fire practices. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with seed funding from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity of Germany (BMEL), established the Global Fire Management Hub (Fire Hub) to lead a paradigm shift from fire suppression to the holistic approach of Integrated Fire Management (IFM).Launched at the Eighth International Wildland Fire Conference in May 2023, the Fire Hub convened key partners, including the Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), other United Nations (UN) agencies, and numerous regional and national organizations. Its goal is to enhance countries’ capacities to implement IFM to reduce the negative impacts of wildfires on livelihoods, landscapes and global climate stability. Through technical workshops, capacity building and knowledge sharing, the Fire Hub and partners discussed its implementation and operationalization.

    Regulating Labour and Safety Standards in the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sectors 2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The general labour and employment laws of many countries do not necessarily take into account the special circumstances of those who work in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors, whereas legislation governing these sectors tend not to integrate appropriate labour standards. This becomes more of a concern where there is a general weakness in inter-sectoral and inter-institutional coordination mechanisms. The Legislative Study seeks to respond to these challenges by providing guidance on the integration of internationally accepted labour standards into national legislation in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors. It identifies the standards that apply to these sectors and shows how they have been or could be integrated into regulatory frameworks governing organic production and other agricultural commodities, contract farming, pesticides management, forestry, fisheries and other related sectors. The overall aim of the Study is to improve relevant regulatory frameworks with regard to the protection of the rights of people who derive their livelihoods in these sectors.

    Transforming Afghanistan’s water and irrigation systems in 2024 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Access to water is a basic human need and a cornerstone of stable communities, yet millions of Afghans face severe water insecurity due to droughts, floods, and aging infrastructure. This factsheet highlights how strategic investments in water and irrigation systems across all 34 provinces are not only restoring access to water for farmers, but also protecting families from floods, boosting food production, and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. These efforts are critical for improving daily life, reducing vulnerability, and building a more resilient future for rural communities, making it clear why continued support for these initiatives matters to us all.
