    play vital roles in the functioning of the shoreline,
    providing natural protection against erosion, pollution, sea
    level rise, and extreme weather events. Coastal and marine
    ecosystems, including cold-water coral reefs, sea¬grass
    meadows, mangrove forests, and coastal wetlands and lagoons,

    This strategic environmental assessment
    (SEA) is a technical piece intended to assist in the current
    and future identification of priority industrial pollutants
    and economic instruments to minimize industrial waste. This
    industrial sector SEA is one of six pieces of technical
    support envisioned by the Himachal Pradesh (HP) inclusive
    green growth (IGG) development policy loan (DPL) to fill

    This study, policy and investment
    priorities to reduce environmental degradation of the Lake
    Nicaragua watershed, has assessed the sources and the
    magnitude of the pressures that threaten Lake Cocibolca. It
    was accomplished by applying a hydrological and land use
    model to the lake's watershed and by conducting
    additional estimates of nutrients generated from wastewater
    sources and tilapia farming. The study has confirmed that

    Globally, an estimated 24 percent of the
    disease burden (healthy life years lost) and an estimated 23
    percent of all deaths (premature mortality) are attributable
    to environmental risks (World Health Organization, or WHO
    2006). The burden of disease is unequally shared, with the
    children and the poor being particularly affected. Among
    children between the ages 0 and 14, the proportion of deaths
    attributable to environmental risks, such as poor water and

    The report highlights the GEF's
    work with small island developing states (SIDS) on key
    natural resource issues -climate change, biodiversity,
    international waters, and land degradation. It also
    describes the GEF's strategic priorities for SIDS over
    the next five years, recognizing the interrelatedness of
    SIDS' global environmental problems and their links to
    economic and social development. The Global Environment

    This paper provides a simple, yet
    robust, methodology for comparing proposed hydroelectric
    project sites in terms of their expected negative
    environmental impacts, and relating these to power
    generation benefits. The paper also summarizes the
    environmental mitigation options for large dams. If properly
    implemented, these mitigation measures can effectively
    prevent, minimize, or compensate for many (though not all)

    Algeria, focused on charting a new course for environmental
    management in the country, based on an objective assessment
    of past policy, and institutional failures, on a new
    consensus on the need for mainstreaming the environment into
