ProjectFactsheetImproved Data Methodology for Sustainable Management of Inland Fisheries Resources in the West Balkans - TCP/RER/3706 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The region of Central and Eastern Europe enjoys a wealth of freshwater resources in terms of lakes and rivers, with aquatic biodiversity that supports riparian communities through capture fisheries and sport fishing providing for domestic consumption, markets and eco tourism services The fisheries are mostly artisanal and small scale, with some limited commercial fleets on the larger lakes Recreational sport fishing is especially valuable in Europe and growing in value in the West Balkans region, as eco tourism creates additional employment, especially for women However, there exist several threats to freshwater biodiversity and inland fisheries, including lack of scientific information, inadequate data collection and freshwater management plans that undervalue or ignore the contribution of inland fisheries The inland fisheries of Europe are also faced by a number of unique problems caused by the many competing uses of the freshwater environment, some of which have detrimental and irreversible impacts on freshwater capture fisheries In addition, the freshwater rivers and lakes of Europe cross international boundaries and shared fisheries resources are often not managed in a collaborative way Finally, inland fisheries are undervalued by policy makers in terms of their contribution to livelihoods, recreation and food security Member countries in the West Balkans region have expressed concerns about the lack of tools for data collection, measurement and management of their inland fisheries This project addressed these concerns by assessing current practices in three countries of the region, and by developing good practices guidelines to assist policy makers and stakeholders to facilitate the sustainable management of freshwater fisheries in the region. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Global Workshop on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Inland Fisheries
Entebbe, Uganda, 18–20 March 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Global Workshop on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Inland Fisheries, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), was held in Entebbe, Uganda, 18–20 March 2025. The workshop brought together 38 participants from 20 countries – including representatives from basin management organizations (BMOs), regional fishery bodies (RFBs), national agencies, and technical experts – to support the integration of inland fisheries into basin-level planning and water governance.Building on prior work by FAO and its partners, the event served as a platform to review and refine a draft intersectoral methodology for integrated basin assessment and management with the aim of aligning inland fisheries with broader land, water and ecosystem management efforts. Participants also reviewed six pilot project proposals from major basins in Africa, Asia and Latin America, providing targeted feedback to enhance cross-sectoral collaboration, participatory planning and implementation feasibility. The workshop concluded with a set of agreed next steps, including finalizing pilot proposals, updating the methodology, mobilizing resources, and sustaining collaboration through a multistakeholder steering committee. This report summarizes the workshop’s outcomes and key lessons, as well as a forward-looking roadmap for embedding inland fisheries within IWRM, intersectoral basin governance and broader agrifood system transformation strategies. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

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.
