On August 31, 2026, the seminar for the presentation of the "Methodological Guide for Coastal Zoning with Strategic Environmental Assessment" took place. This guide was developed under the GEF Coastal Governance Project, implemented by FAO and executed by Chile's Ministry of Environment, Subsecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture, and National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service.

The event was held at the Adolfo Ibáñez University in Chile, attracting around 80 in-person attendees and 224 online participants from over 15 countries. The guide aims to enhance territorial planning processes along Chile's coast by integrating Strategic Environmental Assessment and Marine Spatial Planning principles to anticipate conflicts, harmonize uses, and support evidence-based decisions for conservation and productive development.

En Hacienda Retes, en Llano Grande de Cartago, la producción ganadera se combina con la conservación de recursos naturales mediante prácticas sostenibles como la rotación de potreros y la mejora del suelo. Esto no solo aumenta la productividad, sino que también ayuda a adaptarse al cambio climático y fomenta sistemas agroalimentarios más sostenibles.

Como parte de RECSOIL, iniciativa de la FAO y la Alianza Mundial por el Suelo, Costa Rica trabaja para aumentar el carbono orgánico del suelo. El programa apoya a productores en ganadería y caficultura, ayudándoles a tomar decisiones informadas para mejorar la resiliencia de sus fincas. Descubra cómo la recarbonización del suelo beneficia la producción y los ecosistemas.

Plastic pollution worsens daily, with millions of tonnes entering our environment due to a "take-make-waste" economy. This harms nature, depletes resources, fuels climate and biodiversity crises, and wastes billions in valuable materials.

While companies have made voluntary efforts like reducing virgin plastic and piloting reuse, these actions lack the necessary scale. Plastic pollution is a global challenge, transcending borders, and requires a coordinated, globally aligned response.

We must urgently translate ambition into action. A legally-binding UN treaty on plastic pollution offers a permanent solution. This episode explores its potential, featuring insights from Eirik Lindebjerg (WWF) and Rolando Castro Cordoba (Costa Rica, MINAE).
