Strengthening Pesticide Lifecycle Management in Bangladesh: Project Progress

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzp5NgJ2-dK7AVI-HToSR9vKyEObGilhW This video highlights the achievements of the Pesticide Risk Reduction in Bangladesh Project, implemented through coordinated efforts of the Government of Bangladesh and FAO with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project strengthened pesticide lifecycle management across policy reform, registration, quality control, trade monitoring, safer use, food safety and environmentally sound disposal of obsolete pesticides, including legacy Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) stockpiles. Through institutional capacity building, technical assistance, and multi-stakeholder coordination, the initiative has contributed to reducing environmental and public health risks while promoting sustainable agricultural practices in Bangladesh. © FAO: http://www.fao.org Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN Follow FAO on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals

Celebrating 20 years of Global Bioenergy Partnership

The Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) was established in 2006 on the basis of a G8 mandate, and further supported by subsequent G8, G7 and G20 Summits, to promote sustainable development of bioenergy. As GBEP marks its 20th anniversary, partners and observers in this video reflect on major milestones and highlight the partnership’s core goals. Building on these achievements, GBEP - strong of its 93 members amongst governments and international organizations - looks ahead as a key international platform to advance sustainable bioenergy solutions and inspire collective action toward a more sustainable future. https://www.fao.org/in-action/global-bioenergy-partnership/en Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN Follow FAO on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals

Protecting Afghanistan livestock livelihoods as moving toward Peste des Petits Ruminants eradication

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), a highly contagious disease affecting sheep and goats, has long threatened rural livelihoods in Afghanistan. Outbreaks cause high mortality, devastating families reliant on livestock for food and income, especially amidst compounding climate and economic shocks.

From 2024 to 2025, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), supported by the Asian Development Bank and the United Kingdom, led a nationwide vaccination campaign. This effort reached over 9 million animals across more than 780,000 families.

This concerted initiative has brought Afghanistan close to eliminating PPR, strengthening food security, improving nutrition, and building resilience among livestock-keeping communities.

Community-based forest and rangeland restoration in Afghanistan

Since 2018, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), has promoted community-based sustainable land, forest, and rangeland management in Afghanistan. Active across five provinces, this project supports biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and improved rural livelihoods.

Through 64 Forest and Rangeland Management Associations, thousands have participated in technical trainings and natural resource management activities. This has restored thousands of hectares, sequestering over 4.5 million tonnes of CO₂. Community-led interventions, including agroforestry and fuel-efficient cookstoves, build resilient landscapes and food-secure communities.
