Catalogue of Ecosystem-based Adaptation measures in mountains
   

Mountains are at the frontline of climate change, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities and socio-economic inequities for both mountain communities and those downstream. However, mountain communities have the capacity to adapt to these changes and mitigate the impacts of climate change. By utilizing the opportunities created by ecosystem services, mountain communities can build climate-resilience, resource security and consistent livelihoods. This publication presents and highlights the experiences using Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to build climate resilience in three mountain ranges: the Andes in South America, the Himalayas in Asia, and Mt. Elgon in East Africa. Its main objective is to provide practical information on these experiences to inform NbS practitioners, decision-makers, project designers and managers, researchers and local communities.
Florestas do Patrimônio Mundial : sumidouros de carbono sob pressão
    Carvalho Resende, Tales | Gibbs, David | Harris, Nancy | Osipova, Elena

As florestas do Patrimônio Mundial são alguns dos habitats mais ricos em biodiversidade da Terra e desempenham um papel fundamental na regulação do clima ao absorver dióxido de carbono (CO2) da atmosfera. No entanto, essas florestas estão sob crescentes pressões antrópicas, incluindo a mudança climática. Ao combinar dados de sensoriamento remoto com monitoramento em âmbito local, este relatório quantificou, pela primeira vez, os benefícios climáticos das florestas do Patrimônio Mundial e avaliou os impactos de ameaças comuns às florestas do Patrimônio Mundial e aos sítios que foram identificados como fontes líquidas de carbono. Portanto, fornece informações para facilitar o diálogo entre os formuladores de políticas e as partes interessadas locais para o desenvolvimento de soluções eficazes destinadas a manter o papel contínuo das florestas do Patrimônio Mundial como sumidouros e estoques estáveis de carbono para as gerações futuras.
Forêts du patrimoine mondial : puits de carbone sous pression
    Carvalho Resende, Tales | Gibbs, David | Harris, Nancy | Osipova, Elena

Les forêts du patrimoine mondial comptent parmi les habitats dont la biodiversité est la plus riche sur Terre. Elles jouent un rôle crucial dans la régulation du climat en absorbant le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) de l’atmosphère. Cependant, ces forêts sont soumises à des pressions croissantes liées aux activités humaines, notamment le changement climatique. En associant des cartes mondiales de flux de carbone forestier et le suivi à l’échelle des sites, ce rapport a quantifié pour la première fois les bienfaits climatiques des forêts du patrimoine mondial, évalué les impacts sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre des principales menaces pesant sur les forêts du patrimoine mondial et identifié les sites qui sont des sources nettes de carbone. Il fournit donc des informations essentielles pour faciliter le dialogue entre les décideurs politiques et les parties prenantes locales en vue de mettre au point des solutions efficaces pour maintenir le rôle continu des forêts du patrimoine mondial en tant que puits et réserves de carbone stables pour les générations futures.
Decent work in Nature-based Solutions 2022
   

NbS are increasingly seen as a way to meet the objectives of several global agreements and can be central to a just transition – if the right mix of just transition policies are implemented. But there is currently no guarantee that NbS will generate decent work. Co-developed by ILO, UNEP and IUCN, this report is the first in a joint global biennial report series that aims to fill knowledge and advocacy gaps on how transitions to a green economy will affect the world of work, and of the role that NbS can and do play in creating employment, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable people.
One Health principles for sustainable tourism in protected and conserved areas
   

The wide-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have included immense loss of life and serious health and economic consequences across communities and  ecosystems. Tourism, which itself suffered a sharp disruption in the pandemic, is among the industries that have a strong interest to reduce risks and increase resilience toward a more sustainable model in line with a One Health approach. Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are an especially important setting for sustainable tourism and can serve as a catalyst for wider adoption of best practices anchored in One Health principles that help to sustainability balance the health of people, animals, and  ecosystems. This report presents six core principles, which provide practical strategies for tour operators and wider tourism industry stakeholders in PCAs. They are intentionally broad, allowing for use and adaptation in any PCA context.
Healthy people and wildlife through nature protection
   

Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are affected by disease risks and impacts in wide-ranging ways, as demonstrated by recent epidemics and the global COVID-19  pandemic. Their potential role in disease prevention, detection, response, and recovery is significant, both to reduce spillover risks and to effectively prepare for disease events. This report provides an orientation for PCA managers on relevant sources of risk, with actions that can be taken to build up systems to manage disease threats across the variety of PCA contexts. A key message is that protected areas can – and should – play a vital role in One Health approaches to reduce disease risk and improve human, animal, and environmental health outcomes.

Towards a circular economy that begins and ends in nature
    Oberč, B.P. | de Jong, R. | Demozzi, T. | Battioni Romanelli, B.

The circular economy is a positive step forward to help achieve our environmental targets. When implemented with nature in mind, it can present an important opportunity for nature and biodiversity. As outlined by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 we will need to transform our production and consumption systems. This is precisely what the circular economy aims to address. This report thus takes a close look at both the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan and the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and explores the relationship between the circular economy and biodiversity, especially from a policy point of view.

Gestión sostenible de la tierra en pastizales y praderas
    Onyango, Vivian | Masumbuko, Bora | Somda, Jacques | Nianogo, Aimé J. | Davies, Jonathan

Esta metodología para la evaluación participativa de pastizales y tierras de pastoreo (denominada PRAGA) se desarrolló a través del proyecto "Evaluación participativa de la degradación de la tierra y la gestión sostenible de la tierra en sistemas de pastizales y pastos", financiado por el Fondo para el Medio Ambiente Mundial y ejecutado por FAO y la UICN. La metodología se probó en cinco países (Burkina Faso, Kenia, Kirguistán, Níger y Uruguay) para comprobar su eficacia y valor. Se hicieron las revisiones necesarias a la metodología, basadas en las lecciones aprendidas de su aplicación. Este informe documenta las buenas prácticas de gestión de los pastizales y tierras de pastoreo como una forma de informar las decisiones sobre la gestión de los mismos; y generar conciencia sobre la importancia de las prácticas de gestión identificadas localmente. Destaca el hecho de que estas prácticas de gestión de los pastizales no coinciden necesariamente con las prácticas definidas por los científicos y ecólogos. El público objetivo de este documento de trabajo incluye a los responsables de la toma de decisiones, a los gestores de las tierras, a otros usuarios de las mismas y a los científicos.

Mainstreaming biodiversity into priority economic sectors
    Vergez, A.

In this publication, we take stock of the knowledge and know-how induced by the BIODEV2030 project’s first step, which is to assess the main threats to biodiversity and provide elements to address the following specific questions: how were main threats to biodiversity identified and ranked and associated sectors selected in each country? Were the different methods converging in identifying top threats? What are their respective strengths, limitations and complementarities? What recommendations can we make to other actors (governments, NGOs, donors such as multilateral or bilateral development banks)  wanting to follow similar approaches with the private sectors at national level? In each BIODEV2030 country, three main methods were typically combined to identify and rank main threats to biodiversity and then select (sub-)sectors: literature and data sources review, Species Threat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) metric and national experts’ elicitation. The results of the assessment and its processes led to a list of 12 key recommendations.
