ELD Initiative: User Guide_A 6+1 step approach to assess the economics of land management

... Without local support, the long-term existence of PAs is not assured (Wells and McShane 2004). Local people are unlikely to support PAs if they have negative perceptions

Poster ini merupakan perangkat bagi para pelatih dan fasilitator akar rumput dalam melakukan kegiatan peningkatan penyadartahuan dan peningkatan kapasitas dalam pengelolaan hutam dan perubahan iklim bersama masyarakat setempat di Indonesia. Pada poster ini terdapat ilustrasi pada halaman depan dan penjelasan pada halaman belakang yang berfungsi sebagai panduan bagi para fasiltator saat menggunakannya.

Este trabajo analiza la política forestal en la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación durante 2008-2010 para dilucidar el contexto internacional de la inserción internacional de Argentina.

De las problemáticas ambientales urbanas, las asociadas a la industria presentan especial interés para la gestión ambiental. La ciudad de Tandil en Argentina debe su crecimiento económico y urbano a la actividad metalmecánica, en particular a la fundición, y a pesar de las crisis del sector, la actividad sigue siendo eje de crecimiento económico y urbano local. Esta investigación caracteriza -en términos productivos,operativos y ambientales- las industrias de fundición, y evalúa las condiciones operativas de la gestión de emisiones gaseosas en el sector en el año 2010.

The Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) initiative seeks to develop a science basis for policy actions to address land degradation. The purpose of this chapter is to provide with a conceptual framework and sound and feasible methodological standards for ELD assessments at global and national levels. Only if some basic standards are identified and adhered to, comparative assessments can be conducted between countries and useful aggregation of findings, based on these case studies, can be achieved.

Vers des fonds forestiers nationaux efficaces aborde le besoin de disposer de davantage d’informations sur la manière dont les FFN fonctionnent et sur la manière de les créer et les gérer de manière optimale. Les leçons tirées de l’instauration et de la gestion de FFN sont partagées afin de soutenir les pays dans la création et la mise en oeuvre efficace de FFN en fonction de leurs besoins et circonstances spécifiques.

This Infographic will report on the Key Messages of the related "Discussion Paper on Sustainable Financing for Forest and Landscape Restoration" (jointly producded by UNCCD/FAO) currently under finalization.

We use the hybrid modeling laboratory of the Mediterranean Landscape Dynamics (MedLanD) Project to simulate barranco incision in eastern Spain under different scenarios of natural and human environmental change. We carry out a series of modeling experiments set in the Rio Penaguila valley of northern Alicante Province. The MedLanD Modeling Laboratory (MML) is able to realistically simulate gullying and incision in a multi-dimensional, spatially explicit virtual landscape. We first compare erosion modeled in wooded and denuded landscapes in the absence of human land-use.

Despite scientific progress in operationalizing sustainable development (SD), it is still hampered by methodological challenges at the regional level. We developed a framework to analyse stakeholder based, SD targets for future land use, which are characterized by different impact levels and spatial references. The framework allows for the analysis of land use demands in the context of SD. We identified societal use targets in north-eastern Germany, particularly for the area type’s lowland fens and irrigation fields, represented through strategy documents.

Increasing temperatures and wildfire incidence and decreasing precipitation and river runoff in southern Africa are predicted to have a variety of impacts on the ecology, structure, and function of semi-arid savannas, which provide innumerable livelihood resources for millions of people.

The present study aimed to detect the main shifts in land-use architecture and assess the factors behind the changes in typical tropical semi-arid land in Burkina Faso. Three sets of time-series LANDSAT data over a 23-year period were used to detect land use changes and their underpinning drivers in multifunctional but vulnerable ecologies. Group discussions in selected villages were organized for mapping output interpretation and collection of essential drivers of change as perceived by local populations. Results revealed profound changes and transitions during the study period.
