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.

During a training workshop for journalists organized by the FAO, communicators from the San Martín Region gathered to enhance the media's role in preventing and managing forest fires.

This video features participants discussing the importance of proactive action, the distinction between technical/ancestral fire and wildfire, and how to create accurate narratives that inform and protect communities. Continuous communication and collaboration among stakeholders are essential for moving beyond just firefighting to focus on prevention. We appreciate the commitment of local journalists as strategic allies in long-term environmental awareness.

During the Regional Meeting on the transformative potential of innovation and technology for reducing food loss and waste, Rene Orellana Halkyer, FAO's Regional Representative for Latin America

During the Regional Meeting on the transformative potential of innovation and technology for reducing food loss and waste, Rene Orellana Halkyer, FAO's Regional Representative for Latin America and the Caribbean, outlines the FAO's vision to tackle significant challenges in agro-food systems. In the region, 11.6% of food is lost during production and post-harvest, while globally, 19% of food is wasted in commerce and households, affecting 153 million people facing food insecurity.

The FAO promotes a strategic agenda focused on standards, data, partnerships, and technological innovation. Countries are leveraging tools like FLAPP and Optiwaste to enhance resource use and create development opportunities. The goal is to expand successful solutions, strengthen regional cooperation, and implement sustainable policies to ensure more food reaches those in need.

On International Parliamentarism Day, FAO's Rene Orellana Halkyer reaffirmed the organization's commitment to strengthening parliamentary efforts for a world without hunger. FAO believes parliaments are vital for building efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems. When the right to food becomes law, it establishes state policies benefiting current and future generations.

For over fifteen years, FAO has supported the Parliamentary Front Against Hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean, a network of 25 parliaments that has driven over a hundred food security laws. This initiative expanded in 2024 with the Ibero-American and Caribbean Parliamentary Alliance for Food Security, uniting parliamentary networks from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal, with FAO as its Technical Secretariat. The "Food First Pact" further consolidates this legislative agenda, aiming for the III World Parliamentary Summit Against Hunger.
