This guide describes two of the main approaches to greenhouse gas mitigation planning in developing countries: Low-Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). It explains the possible relationships between them and their status within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). National mitigation planning processes have policy, technical and institutional dimensions that need to be addressed in an integrated and iterative manner. For each of these dimensions four key elements are outlined.

This fact sheet explains how water can be used in the city and reused in agriculture in a way that benefits both farmers and city dwellers. Water reuse in agriculture has numerous advantages for all the parties involved as it provides a year round supply of water, together with nutrients and organic matter, to support crop production; providing food, income and employment to cities and improving urban landscape. In addition, well managed water reuse can lessen the pollution load on downstream watercourses.

An international review of forestry and forest products

This review of national greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation planning in the agriculture sector provides national policy makers and others in the agriculture sector with an overview of national mitigation planning processes to aid them in identifying the relevance of these processes for promoting agricultural development. It also gives policy makers and advisors involved in low-emission development planning processes an overview of mitigation planning in the agriculture sector and highlights the relevance of agriculture to national mitigation plans and actions.

Revue internationale des forts et des industries forestires

Ce rapport traite des nouvelles connaissances sur les émissions anthropiques des gaz à effet de serre (GES) issues de l'agriculture, la foresterie et des autres utilisations des terres (AFAT), connaissances mises à disposition au sein de la nouvelle base de données des émissions FAOSTAT. Cette base de données est disponible à l'échelle mondiale, avec des détails par pays, pour toutes les sous-catégories de l'agriculture, de la foresterie et des terres disponibles dans FAOSTAT et dans l'Evaluation des ressources forestières mondiales (FRA).

This paper assesses past trends in agricultural land and labour productivity, as a test whether it is feasible to meet the SDG target 2.3, namely doubling productivity and incomes of smallholders within a 15-year time span, if history were to serve as a guide. The target implies agricultural productivity would need to increase by 4.6% per year on average during 2015-2030. Available country-level data on land productivity (1961-2012) and labour productivity (1980-2012) for 140 countries shows that past trends fall well short of the desired pace of productivity growth.

O presente trabalho é assente no cruzamento e análise dos conteúdos da legislação de terras1 , de minas e do reconhecimento pelo Estado das Autoridades Locais, em Moçambique. Será ainda baseado na análise da literatura e estudos realizados relacionados com estas áreas. Ao longo da presente abordagem far‐se‐á uma análise do regime jurídico relativo à descentralização administrativa, desenvolvimento  comunitário e participação das comunidades locais.

o presente trabalho e uma compilação de vàrios artigos que sintetizam os resultados de pesquisas de campo sobre acesso e segurança de posse de terra efectuados nos liltimos cinco anos em Moçambique. Trata-se de pesquisas realizadas pelo projecto sobre Política Fundiária -Land Tenure Center da Universidade de Wisconsin, Estados Unidos da América, em colaboração com o Ministério da Agricultura e o NET-Núcleo de Estudos da Terra, da Universidade Eduardo Mondlane.
