Synopsis (short abstract) In November 1977, the Government of Sri Lanka requested assistance from FAO in the formulation of policies for the best utilization of the fishery resources within the EEZ and to formulate a strategy for negotiations with neighboring countries and private foreign interests. Accordingly, the Indian Ocean Fishery Survey and Development Programme (IOP) assigned a consultant to study the situation and report to the Government of Sri Lanka. He arrived in Sri Lanka on 24 November 1977 and departed on 21 December. In this time, he had a number of discussions with members of the administration, private investors, locally based international staff of FAO and of the Asian Development Bank. Moreover he attended the "Symposium on the development of offshore and deep-sea fishing in Sri Lanka", held in Colombo 29 and 30 November.

    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.
