    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.

    Due to the impact the BBNJ Agreement could have on the fisheries sector, and following COFI 36 requesting FAO to raise awareness, for all relevant stakeholders including Members and RFBs, on the implications of the BBNJ Agreement for the fisheries and aquaculture sector, and support Members as appropriate in the ratification and implementation of the Agreement, FAO seeks to inform and guide its members on the relevance, likely impacts and benefits offered by the agreement. The aim is to develop a resource product that speaks directly to FAO Members, and their authorities with competence for the management and conservation of fisheries. The Fact Sheet presented is an interim product with the objective to introduce the work in progress on the report at the FAO side event to take place during the BBNJ Preparatory Commission (PrepCom2, New York, 18-29 August 2025) by the FAO Delegation, with particular emphasis on the participation of RFB Secretariats.
