    Assessment of Industrial Roundwood Production from Planted Forests 2014
    Also available in:

    Planted forests play an ever more important part in the global and regional economies to secure industrial roundwood and wood fuel. In many developing countries, planted forests have formed the structural basis for an increasing forest-based manufacturing and export sector. This report assesses the production of industrial roundwood from planted forests and evaluates their significance for the global industrial roundwood supply. The assessment was conducted by using national and international pr imary and secondary data, some of which have not been published before. The report focuses on forest plantations, providing data from 78 countries across five continents. As for semi-natural planted forests (SNPF)1, data could be estimated for 18 temperate-climate countries in America, Asia and Europe. The data and information given in this report have gone through a structured process of data collection, processing, validation, compilation and analysis. In general, however, it must be stated t hat many reporting countries found it difficult to provide reliable information on the origin or the sources of their industrial roundwood production. The report, together with previous outlook studies, may give policy- and decision-makers, investors, and managers a better understanding of the key role that planted forest resources play in the provision of wood products for national and global economies. The report has been produced as a joint project between the Forest Assessment, Management a nd Conservation Division and the Forest Economics, Policy and Products Division of the FAO Forestry Department. Data collection, analysis and evaluation were conducted during a six-month period, from September 2013 to February 2014.

    Global forest sector outlook 2050: Assessing future demand and sources of timber for a sustainable economy
    Background paper for The State of the World’s Forests 2022
    2022
    Also available in:

    The global threats to climate, biodiversity and a healthy environment are mainly caused by the excessive use of non-renewable materials. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and Unique Consultancy, elaborated a Global Forest Sector Outlook 2050 to assess the capacity of wood supply to support a sustainable bioeconomy. The report presents a business-as-usual scenario, based on the Global Forest Products Model (GFPM), and a bioeconomy scenario based on the impact of increased consumption of two wood products consolidated in the market: mass timber and manmade cellulose fiber. The publication assesses the market outlook for demand for primary processed wood products, demand and supply of industrial roundwood, wood energy, and forest employment and investments. From a deman-driven perspective, it discusses the actual forest resource base and production needs to supply future demand by factoring in the use of wood residues and enhanced productivity in the forest sector, as well as the influence of megatrends and policy objectives.

    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.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.
