Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFrom reference levels to results reporting: REDD+ under the UNFCCC 2017
Also available in:
No results found.For well over a decade, developing countries have been encouraged to undertake activities in their forestry sectors that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also working to conserve, enhance and sustainably manage forest carbon stocks. These activities are known collectively as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), which was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). More recently, these actions were con firmed by the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, which entered into force in 2016, as a core element of a new global climate change regime. Under this regime, governments have agreed on policy approaches and positive incentives for activities that reduce GHG emissions and enhance carbon sinks in the forest sector in developing countries. Countries have been supported in their REDD+ efforts by organizations including United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which has spe cialized in assisting the development of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) capabilities – crucial to the REDD+ process. This flyer provides an update of developments related to the MRV of REDD+ activities, as well as updating activities related to countries’ submissions of Forest Reference (Emission) Levels (FRELs/FRLs). This report will also summarize experiences with the technical assessment process as of early 2017 and offer an overview of initial REDD+ results reporting and tec hnical analyses of those reports. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyField testing food loss data collection and compiling the Food Loss Index in Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Uruguay
Report on preliminary results
2025Also available in:
This paper presents the field tests conducted to test the methodology of the Food Loss Index (FLI) – Sustainable Development Goal Indicator 12.3.1.a – conducted in Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Uruguay between 2013 and 2020. Each country report covers the objective of the project, the strategy for measuring food losses, the mapping of the stages of the supply chain for the selected basket of products, the available information on food loss and how data gaps were filled. It provides an overview of the steps used to compile the FLI in these countries, shows detailed results and proposes a way forward. For Colombia and Costa Rica, the design and testing of food loss measurement is incorporated, while for Mexico and Uruguay, a test of the compilation of the Food Loss Index is carried out.The FLI monitors the changes over time of average food losses in percentage terms, considering a weighted basket of prioritized food commodities. The food loss percentages by commodity represent the amount of food that is removed from the food supply chain from harvest up to but excluding the retail level. The guidelines tested are based on the methodological proposal for monitoring SDG Indicator 12.3.1.a, which describes the definition framework, sampling frames and sampling strategies, and data collection methods and instruments to measure food losses at the national level for different stages along the supply chain. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureAGRISurvey Programme in Costa Rica
Process, findings and perspectives of implementation
2021Also available in:
Since April 2019, the Agricultural Integrated Survey programme (AGRISurvey) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has provided technical assistance to the Government of Costa Rica to improve and expand its national agricultural survey, the Encuesta Nacional Agropecuaria (ENA). The implementation of AGRISurvey will contribute to enlarge the scope of the survey and improve data quality, thus increasing the relevance of the survey findings to the agricultural sector. This country brief presents the finding and achievements related to the introduction of the AGRISurvey approach in Costa Rica.
