ProjectFactsheetManejo forestal sostenible para la reduccion de la deforestación y sus emisiones asociadas - UNFA/ECU/097/UND and UNFA/ECU/098/UND 2024
Also available in:
No results found.El cambio climático es el mayor reto al que se enfrenta la humanidad en el siglo XXI, donde cada vez más personas están sufriendo sus consecuencias producto de temperaturas cada vez más elevadas, siendo una de sus consecuencias las altas emisiones debido a la pérdida y degradación de los bosques. Para reducir sus efectos los países (incluido Ecuador) trataron de bajar las emisiones por deforestación y pérdida de masas boscosas, gracias a políticas públicas nacionales basadas en el manejo de recursos naturales, la conservación y optimización de los suelos para reducir la presión sobre los bosques, y las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y combatir así la pobreza para un desarrollo humano sostenible. -

No results found.Todo estudio de caracterización de causas y agentes de deforestación debe basarse en un marco conceptual sólido que tenga en cuenta los elementos más importantes para comprender y analizar el fenómeno, al tiempo que se adapte a las características del territorio estudiado. Contar con una base nacional de información de causas y agentes de deforestación, implica que los estudios se sustenten en una base conceptual común, que permita la estandarización y uso de la información recopilada a nivel local, regional o nacional, en el diseño de medidas y acciones de mitigación. El presente documento tiene por finalidad mostrar los resultados de la caracterización de causas y agentes de la deforestación en colombia durante el período 2000-2015.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture (SOLAW)
Managing systems at risk
2011This edition of The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture presents objective and comprehensive information and analyses on the current state, trends and challenges facing two of the most important agricultural production factors: land and water. Land and water resources are central to agriculture and rural development, and are intrinsically linked to global challenges of food insecurity and poverty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as d egradation and depletion of natural resources that affect the livelihoods of millions of rural people across the world. Current projections indicate that world population will increase from 6.9 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In addition, economic progress, notably in the emerging countries, translates into increased demand for food and diversified diets. World food demand will surge as a result, and it is projected that food production will increase by 70 percent in t he world and by 100 percent in the developing countries. Yet both land and water resources, the basis of our food production, are finite and already under heavy stress, and future agricultural production will need to be more productive and more sustainable at the same time. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
