Wildfires are a continuous global threat, devastating lives and ecosystems. To combat this, Integrated Fire Management (IFM) is transforming our approach from crisis response to prevention and resilience.

Through the Global Fire Management Hub, FAO and partners unite countries, scientists, Indigenous leaders, and communities. This collaboration shares data, strengthens policy, and translates local wisdom into global action, as seen with Brazil’s Prevfogo brigades and Indigenous firefighters. Protecting our forests through unity ensures a safer future.

The "Youth Forum for the Transformation of Agri-food Systems" aims to establish a regional platform for young people across Latin America and the Caribbean. Its core objective is to strengthen their capacities, expand knowledge, foster collaborative networks, and develop joint proposals for transforming the region's agri-food systems.

The forum is structured over two days. Day one focuses on youth capacity building through workshops and interactive sessions, enhancing leadership, communication, and advocacy skills. Day two features a Preparatory Youth Dialogue, where participants will collectively develop a Regional Youth Declaration. This declaration will be a crucial input for the 39th FAO Regional Conference (LARC39) and other key decision-making forums.

Marco Colangeli and Enrico Mandola have developed an innovative solar energy system. Their active-cooled photovoltaic panels float on water surfaces, simultaneously reducing evaporation, increasing energy efficiency by 20%, and creating affordable energy production space for local farmers.

Tested and scientifically approved between August and December 2025, this system is ready for implementation. It offers a significant solution, potentially reducing Jordan's annual water loss from dams by approximately 25 million cubic meters.

In Zambia’s Kazungula District, where livestock and wildlife coexist, tick-borne diseases devastate cattle and farmer incomes. To combat this, the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme has commissioned three new spray races in the Mize-Lukuni Community Conservancy.

These facilities ensure even medicine application, protecting herds and improving animal health, milk production, and market value. Managed by local cooperatives, they also generate income and reduce reliance on poaching. This initiative fosters healthier cattle, stronger communities, and safer wildlife, building a brighter future for both people and nature.

In southern Angola’s Banda Chibia, drought once forced residents like Rita to walk for water. This struggle has ended. Through a partnership between the Government of Angola, the European Union, and FAO, the Banda Chibia Dam now secures water for agriculture and livelihoods. With over 21 million cubic meters capacity, it irrigates 750 hectares, supporting thousands and enabling climate-smart agriculture and resilience.

Farmer Field Schools taught communities efficient water management and sustainable farming, resulting in green fields, year-round harvests, and improved incomes. Rita now harvests food, not searching for water. This project demonstrates how partnership and innovation transform vulnerability into hope.

The Youth Forum unites young people from across the region for dialogue, capacity building, and knowledge acquisition. Its aim is to empower them and strengthen their networks, leading to the drafting of a Regional Declaration.

This Declaration, containing youth proposals and demands, will serve as a crucial tool to bring their voices to the 39th FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean (LARC39) and other agrifood system decision-making spaces.
