Uno de los propósitos de las Naciones Unidas es “el desarrollo y estímulo del respeto a los derechos humanos y a las libertades fundamentales de todos, sin hacer distinción por motivos de raza, sexo, idioma o religion” (Carta de las Naciones Unidas). Los efectos de la guerra y los desastres naturales amenazan seriamente la supervivencia del ser humano y los medios de vida y desarrollo sostenibles. El sistema de respuesta humanitaria internacional está trabajando no sólo para proporcion ar una inmediata y apropiada intervención de salvamento sino también para elaborar marcos de análisis y acción. A fin de desarrollar un número de programas efectivos cada vez mayor existe un reconocimiento creciente de la importancia de adquirir una mejor comprensión del contexto específico de cada una de las situaciones de crisis y sus causas, así como de la manera en que las comunidades resultan afectadas. -

Intercâmbio de aprendizagem no Ruanda, julho de 2019
2022As mulheres desempenham um papel importante nos sistemas alimentares como produtoras, trabalhadoras assalariadas, processadoras, comerciantes, empresárias e consumidoras. Portanto, é essencial que a agenda de transformação dos sistemas alimentares tome pleno conhecimento de suas necessidades e prioridades para que elas possam contribuir e se beneficiar igualmente. Nos países da CEDEAO, as mulheres ainda estão desfavorecidas no acesso à terra, finanças, tecnologias, serviços e mercados. Suas vozes não são igualmente ouvidas na elaboração de políticas, programas e planos de investimento no setor agroalimentar, pois sua representação em cargos de liderança permanece inferior à dos homens. De palavras a ações no Ruanda é o resultado de uma parceria contínua com a Rede de Parlamentares da CEDEAO para a Igualdade de Género e os Investimentos na Agricultura e na Segurança Alimentar e o seu Grupo Consultivo constituído pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Alimentação e a Agricultura (FAO), Instituto Internacional para o Desenvolvimento (IISD), OXFAM e Mulheres na Lei e Desenvolvimento na África (WiLDAF) para promover a igualdade de género nos esforços para acelerar o progresso rumo à fome zero. Este relatório resume o Intercâmbio de Aprendizagem que expôs os Parlamentares da CEDEAO ao abrangente Modelo de Ruanda abrangente para igualdade de género e o empoderamento das mulheres em termos de governança, responsabilidade, visão e ações. O document inclui comentários e observações de alguns parlamentares. -

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
