Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPlan Nacional de inversión REDD+ de Guinea Equatorial 2020
Also available in:
Equatorial Guinea's National REDD+ Investment Plan (PNI-REDD +) proposes a green economy model that breaks the dichotomy between economic development and conservation of natural resources and contributes to the country's sustainable and equitable development in the coming years. The PNI-REDD+ aims to protect our natural heritage, reduce forest loss and, at the same time, contribute to economic diversification. -
ProjectFactsheetPlanning National Land and Forest Action to Mitigate Climate Change and Reduce Poverty in Equatorial Guinea - UNJP/EQG/010/UNJ 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Equatorial Guinea has a forest cover estimated at 2.5 million hectares, representing more than 90 percent of the national surface area. Despite this extensive cover, the estimated rates of forest loss (deforestation plus forest degradation) show a worrying upward trend, particularly for forest degradation. In line with its international and regional commitments, in 2012 Equatorial Guinea started its national process of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+). This project significantly contributed to moving forward the national REDD+ progress, engaging multiple actors in the fight against climate change. In order to address the causes of deforestation and forest degradation, and promote sustainable development, Equatorial Guinea decided to develop a National REDD+ Investment Plan. -
Book (series)Technical reportLegal report on the ecosystem approach to fisheries in Equatorial Guinea
An analysis of the ecosystem approach to fisheries in selected national policy and legal instruments of Equatorial Guinea
2025Also available in:
No results found.Legislating for the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of the EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, intersectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks.The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Equatorial Guinea with the EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are reflected in Equatorial Guinea's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAFThis report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Equatorial Guinea. Drafted in November 2021, the report was revised and resubmitted to the national authorities in August 2024. The report was endorsed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment in December 2024. -
