Book (stand-alone)Monitorear la sostenibilidad de la bioeconomía/Monitoring the sustainability of the bioeconomy
Piloto en Uruguay/Pilot in Uruguay
2023Also available in:
No results found.Este informe, se centra en cómo monitorear la sostenibilidad de la bioeconomía y describe cómo desarrollar dos sistemas de monitoreo; flujos cualitativos de biomasa de los principales productos básicos agrícolas y su sostenibilidad y circularidad, y el análisis de sectores de base biológica dentro de la economía en general. Ambos se complementan para obtener un análisis exhaustivo de la sostenibilidad de la bioeconomía y proporcionar una base sólida para evaluar la circularidad en los flujos de biomasa y el desarrollo intersectorial de la bioeconomía. El documento examina el ejemplo de Uruguay para la soja, el arroz, la ganadería, la silvicultura (coníferas y no coníferas) y la pesca y la acuicultura y analiza la sostenibilidad de los productos básicos como la pulpa de eucalipto (silvicultura), la carne vacuna (ganadería), la soja (cultivos), leche en polvo (productos lácteos) y pesca. También analiza la participación de la bioeconomía dentro de la economía nacional y analiza su sostenibilidad. El informe se basa en los Principios y criterios aspiracionales para una bioeconomía sostenible desarrollados por el Grupo de trabajo internacional sobre bioeconomía sostenible liderado por la FAO, que proporcionan una plantilla de seguimiento útil que podría guiar a otros países y regiones y vincularse con los Objetivos de desarrollo sostenible. This publication focuses on how to monitor the sustainability of the bioeconomy and describes how to develop two monitoring systems; qualitative biomass flows of major agricultural commodities and their sustainability and circularity, and analysis of bio-based sectors within the wider economy. Both complement each other to obtain a comprehensive analysis of the sustainability of the bioeconomy and to provide a solid basis for assessing the circularity in biomass flows and cross-sectoral development of the bioeconomy. The study provides an example in Uruguay, for soybean, rice, livestock, forestry (coniferous and non-coniferous) and fisheries and aquaculture and analyses the sustainability of core products such as Eucalyptus pulp (forestry), beef (livestock), soybeans (crops), milk powder (dairy products) and fisheries. It also looks at the share of the bioeconomy within the national economy and analyses its sustainability. The Aspirational Principles and Criteria for a sustainable bioeconomy developed by the FAO-led International Sustainable Bioeconomy Working Group provide a useful monitoring template that could guide other countries and regions and link to the Sustainable Development Goals. -
Book (stand-alone)Guidelines on institutional coordination for drought management 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Drought has direct or indirect impacts on all aspects of society, the environment and the economy. This multifaceted nature has implications for managing drought events, particularly in coordinating mitigation efforts. Institutional coordination and communication are vital for drought management as they enable effective collaboration among government agencies, stakeholders and communities. Coordinated efforts facilitate the sharing of information, expertise and resources, leading to more robust risk assessments and drought management plans, improved community engagement, more timely response, and better preparedness for drought events. The report is prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Global Water Partnership (GWP), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) under the framework of the project “Enabling Activities for Implementing UNCCD COP Drought Decisions” funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented in collaboration with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and other partners. -
