Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetExploring guiding elements of transformational change in integrated landscape management
English
2018Also available in:
No results found.Great emphasis is currently being placed on achieving transformational change and paradigm shift through policies and measures to implement the Paris Agreement and the UN 2030 development agenda. There is a need to improve our understanding on how to enable, operationalize, measure and evaluate the intended, lasting outcomes. FAO and CIFOR are partnering in leading research with international experts and partners to identify triggers and drivers of transformational change across the landscape, diving deeper into a scientific, evidence-based analysis of transformational change. This infobrief outlines the progress so far, and will be followed by a more substantial publication of results in 2018. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetImproved farming practices reduce impacts of climate change - but barriers to their adoptoin remain 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The broad adoption of improved farming practices can substantially reduce the number of people at risk of undernourishment; for example, the adoption of nitrogen-efficient crop varieties alone can reduce the risk to more than 120 million people. However, adoption of improved practices remains very low, even in areas where projects have heavily promoted them. Positive change will only come about when barriers to adoption – financial, institutional and policy constraints – are better understood an d removed.This is Info note number 2 of 3 drawn from The State of Food and Agriculture 2016.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEnhancing countries’ capacity to report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on greenhouse gas emissions for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sector: Colombia 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Colombia has submitted two national communications (NCs 2001, 2010) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), providing information on greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, and measures to mitigate and facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change, among other information. In 2015, Colombia also presented its First Biennial Update Report (BUR), including the REDD+ technical annex. In 2010 and 2012, GHG emissions from the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU ) sector contributed to respectively 58 % and 43% of the national GHG emissions. Since 2013, the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD) and the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programmes have provided support to Ecuador for the preparation and reporting of the national GHG inventory (NGHGI), AFOLU component, to the UNFCCC. This brief relates the implemented activities and fruitf ul collaboration that were fundamental in assisting Ecuador in successfully meeting its commitments to the UNFCCC reporting process for the Agriculture and LULUCF sectors.
