    The West African coastal zone hosts
    critical natural resources and habitats that provide
    important ecosystem services. The area’s natural resources
    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 report presents a brief discussion
    of indigenous peoples’ development as evidenced in a select
    number of case studies about World Bank financed projects
    that had a positive impact on indigenous peoples’
    communities. The main objective of this study is to identify
    and document good practices and lessons learned that can be
    shared with World Bank staff, borrower governments, and
    Indigenous Peoples’ organizations to help improve the design

    The Convention on Biological Diversity
    (CBD) defines biodiversity as the variability among living
    organisms from all sources including, inter alia,
    terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the
    ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes
    diversity within species, between species, and of
    ecosystems. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and TEEB
    (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity) demonstrated

    This issue of Handshake focuses on
    natural resource PPPs that are making a difference. In
    Cartagena, Colombia, a hybrid public-private agency is
    profiled that has standardized water service to residents
    while restoring the coast, and in the process, contributed
    to political stabilization. Around Africas Lake Victoria, an
    environmental management initiative with the potential to
    reduce the pollution and resource footprint of industrial

    This paper presents a somewhat novel
    approach to explore the economic contribution of ecosystems.
    It develops linked models to capture connections between
    resource stocks and flows and the resulting microeconomic
    and macroeconomic impacts. A bioeconomic model is developed
    that is imbedded into a computable general equilibrium (CGE)
    model. Incorporating imperfect regulation, the bioeconomic
    model characterizes optimal policies, while the CGE model

    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

    Pollution management is at the top of
    the development agenda of Bolivia, and this program helps
    address it in a cross-sectoral manner. In the context of the
    implementation of the program environmental management in
    Bolivia: innovations and opportunities which was conducted
    from September 2010 until October 2012, the World Bank has
    implemented a technical assistance program and supported a
    multisectoral analysis in order to help the Bolivian

    This report presents a case study on
    groundwater governance in Kenya. The objectives of the study
    were to: (a) describe groundwater resource and socioeconomic
    settings for four selected aquifers; (b) describe governance
    arrangements for groundwater management in Kenya; and (c)
    identify the relevance of these arrangements for planning
    and implementing climate change mitigation measures. The
    report provides a comprehensive strategy to develop

    Biodiversity, a property of natural
    areas, provides a range of benefits to the economy including
    bioprospecting rents, knowledge and insurance, ecotourism
    fees, and ecosystem services. Many of these values can be
    broken out in the System of National Accounts, leading to
    better estimates of the economic losses when natural areas
    are degraded or destroyed. Developing countries harbor the
    great majority of biodiversity, and this diversity provides
