This guidance document examines the forest model, which simulates how ecological processes including succession, seed dispersal, disturbances, and climate change affect a forested landscape over time.

This analytical document presents the institutional context for managing climate risks and adaptation and reiterates the need to strengthen the collection and analysis of data and information. The report also provides comprehensive typology of coping and adaptation strategies for managing current climate risks and building the necessary knowledge and good practices for advancing adaptation over the longer term. 

This analytical document examines the policy environment for climate change in Agriculture in Tanzania, including their development vision and national climate change strategy. It concludes that the government has engaged in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that efforts by the government to modernize agriculture are underway through policy reforms and support from the private sector.

This guidance document aims to promote the use of genetic resources for food and agriculture in climate change adaptation and support their integration into national climate change adaptation planning. The report takes account of the characteristics of different genetic resources for food and agriculture which face different challenges and opportunities in respect to climate change.

This guidance document aims to provide Junior Farmer Field and Life Schools (JFFLS) facilitators with information to enable them to discuss the topic of climate change, in particular its impact on agriculture and actions that farmers can undertake to reduce their vulnerability to climate change. 

This guidance document aims to help educate children and young people about the vital role the climate plays in supporting life on Earth. The badge looks at how our daily lives impact the Earth’s climate and provides ideas on how individuals can take action to help make this close relationship more sustainable.

This guidance document shows food security risks in the Middle East and North Africa from climate change, as well as other vulnerability interactions, such as with population growth, urbanisation, and conflict. 

This guidance document explains that mountain soils are particularly susceptible to climate change, deforestation, unsustainable farming practices and resource extraction methods that affect their fertility and trigger land degradation, desertification and disasters such as floods and landslides. 

This analytical document presents the outcome of a two-year project in Kenya and offers the findings from an integrated climate impact assessment. The analysis covered (i) historical and future links between climate parameters and tea yields, (ii) a carbon life cycle analysis, (iii) tea management scenarios under climate change using aquacrop model, and (iv) a socio-economic analysis of small holder tea farms and households and their coping options under climate change. 

This guidance document suggests that to change behaviour, ‘environmental education’ needs to change its focus – with less emphasis on knowledge and raising awareness and more on competency, action skills and problem solving. 

This guidance document provides an overview of global food loss and waste, carbon footprint of global food wastage, carbon footprint intensities and food wastage reduction scenario and climate change mitigation. 

This guidance document contains key messages from the International Conference on the Economics of Climate Change Mitigation Options in the Forest Sector, organized by FAO and held online in February 2015. It summarizes key points from 51 technical presentations and panel and plenary discussions of 6 thematic sessions: afforestation and reforestation, reduced deforestation and degradation, changing forest management practices, wood energy, green building and sustainable packaging.

This policy document provides a practical guidance on how to formulate and assess policies, measure progress and model future effects of the transition. The document consists of three reports, where the guidance manual for green economy policy assessment advises governments on how to set targets, identify policy reform needs, estimate the amount of investment and assess policy impacts.

This guidance report provides an overview of where Africa, as a region, stands in terms of transitioning to an inclusive green economy. It draws on recent studies to summarise the prospective gains and challenges associated with investing in a green economy and outlines a way forward to prioritise policy reforms, with a specific section on how to turn strategies and practices challenges into opportunities. 

This guidance document serves as a starting point to address the calls from Rio+20 and the Governing Council to share the South’s various experiences and national-level initiatives for transitioning to sustainable and socially inclusive economies.

This technical document is one of several research products mandated by the 2013 China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) Task Force on the Evaluation of Green Transition in China.

This guidance document presents that an integrated approach of green economy can help states understand how to maximize, prioritize, and sequence the different benefits to human well-being that can be derived from a healthy environment. The document also suggests that the inclusive green economy must provide not only for jobs and income, but for our health, our environment and our future.

This guidance document draws together practical examples of policy changes in banking, capital markets, insurance and institutional investment, drawing on detailed work in countries such as Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Colombia, France, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, the UK and the USA. The document offers a Framework for Action that shows how a systematic approach can now be taken at both the national and international levels.

This analytical document assesses the environmental dimension of sustainability reporting and provides recommendations to make environmental reporting relevant to all stakeholders.

This guidance document provides a in-depth analysis on black carbon. Several studies have demonstrated that preventinh the release of black carbon can reduce near-term global warming and improve human health.
