ProjectFactsheetStrengthening Forest Education Globally to Promote Sustainable Management of Forests - GCP/GLO/044/GER 2023
Also available in:
No results found.As deforestation continues and the disconnection between people, nature and forests grows, education is fundamental to achieving sustainable forest management. Yet it must keep pace with changing demands on forests and increasing pressures on forest resources. Experts have raised concerns that education dealing with forests is insufficient and outdated in many places, failing to give current and future generations the awareness and understanding of forests they need. New education offensives are necessary to address these challenges. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched this project to catalyse , accelerate and enhance broad efforts in forest education in developing countries and to counteract the considerable deficiencies in forest education in many parts of the world. A partnership between FAO, the International Tropical Timber Organization and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations, the project is designed to lay the foundation for a longer term effort in forest education, envisaged as a Joint Initiative of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF).

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.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.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.
