DocumentOther documentFRA 2000 - Pan-tropical survey of forest cover changes 1980-2000 - Results and findings 2002
Also available in:
No results found.The results from the FRA 2000 Remote Sensing Survey cover most of pan-tropical forests under a wide range of ecological conditions, from tropical rainforests to dry forests. Estimates were calculated at different levels: at sampling unit, stratum, sub-regional, regional, pan-tropical levels and at ecological zones level. The reliability of the estimates differs according to the study level. The survey was mainly designed for generating information with an acceptable statistical precision at the regional and pan-tropical levels. Estimates at the subregional level have a relatively low precision but give valuable indications on forest changes processes. -
DocumentOther documentForest assessment and monitoring 2002The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000) is now completed, but work has already begun on the next global assessment. The expert consultation "Global Forest Resources Assessments - Linking National and International Efforts", known as Kotka IV, brought together international experts in July 2002 to address future concepts and strategies. The articles in this issue of Unasylva are adapted for a wider audience from papers prepared for the meeting. Without going into technical detail, they explore links among assessment and monitoring, national and international information needs, criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, and reporting of forest-related information to international instruments. The technical details can be found on the FAO Web site (www.fao.org/forestry) and will be published in the Kotka IV proceedings.

Book (series)FlagshipEl estado de los bosques del mundo 2020
Los bosques, la biodiversidad y las personas
2020A medida que finaliza el Decenio de las Naciones Unidas sobre la Biodiversidad 2011-2020 y los países se preparan para adoptar un marco de biodiversidad posterior a 2020, esta edición de El estado de los bosques del mundo (SOFO) examina las contribuciones de los bosques, y de las personas que los utilizan y los gestionan, a la conservación y el uso sostenible de la biodiversidad. Los bosques cubren poco más del 30% de la superficie terrestre mundial, sin embargo, son el hábitat de la gran mayoría de las especies de plantas y animales terrestres conocidas por la ciencia. Desafortunadamente, los bosques y la biodiversidad que en ellos habita continúan amenazados debido a las acciones para convertir la tierra en agricultura y también a los niveles insostenibles de explotación, en gran parte ilegal. El estado de los bosques del mundo 2020 evalúa el progreso hasta la fecha en el cumplimiento de los objetivos y metas mundiales relacionados con la biodiversidad forestal y examina la efectividad de las políticas, acciones y enfoques, tanto en términos de resultados de conservación como de desarrollo sostenible. Una serie de estudios de casos proporcionan ejemplos de prácticas innovadoras que combinan la conservación y el uso sostenible de la biodiversidad forestal para crear soluciones equilibradas para las personas y el planeta. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Forests 2022
Forest pathways for green recovery and building inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies
2022Against the backdrop of the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use and the pledge of 140 countries to eliminate forest loss by 2030 and to support restoration and sustainable forestry, the 2022 edition of The State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) explores the potential of three forest pathways for achieving green recovery and tackling multidimensional planetary crises, including climate change and biodiversity loss. The three interrelated pathways are halting deforestation and maintaining forests; restoring degraded lands and expanding agroforestry; and sustainably using forests and building green value chains. The balanced, simultaneous pursuit of these pathways can generate sustainable economic and social benefits for countries and their rural communities, help sustainably meet increasing global demand for materials, and address environmental challenges. The State of the World’s Forests 2022 presents evidence on the feasibility and value of these pathways and outlines initial steps that could be taken to further pursue them. There is no time to lose – action is needed now to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 °C, reduce the risk of future pandemics, ensure food security and nutrition for all, eliminate poverty, conserve the planet’s biodiversity and offer young people hope of a better world and a better future for all. -
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.
