International Covenant on Environment and Development
   

<p>In the mid-1980s, the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law, in consultation with leading experts from around the world, began to respond to a need later identified by Agenda 21 : the preparation of an integrated framework for international environmental law. It did so by elaborating a draft legally-binding global agreement on environmental conservation and sustainable development, in which both codification of existing rules as well as progressive development of the law play important roles. The result is this draft covenant. Published along with a comprehensive legal commentary, this document is intended to be a starting point for debate and consideration, by providing expert opinion on the possible content of such an instrument.</p>

National biodiversity planning : guidelines based on early experiences around the world
    Lanou, Steven M. | Miller, Kenton

Biodiversity captured worldwide attention at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro when 150 nations signed the Convention on Biological Diversity. Although most countries by now have had some experience planning and implementing biodiversity-related measures, few have approached them in the comprehensive, integrated manner required by the Convention. This practical handbook offers background information, case-study examples and analysis, and step-by-step guidelines for planning and implementing national biodiversity strategies and action plans. Intended for use by government, communities, business and industry, and non-governmental organizations, it presents an "illustrative biodiversity-planning process" based on the real-world experiences of seventeen countries already developing national strategies, plans, and programs.

Expanding partnerships in conservation
   

Protected areas around the globe - national parks, wildlife reserves, biosphere reserves - will prosper only if they are supported by the public, the private sector, and the full range of government agencies. Yet such support is unlikely unless society appreciates the importance of protected areas to its own interests, and protected areas are well-managed and contribute to the national welfare in a cost-effective way. A crucial foundation for success is full cooperation between individuals and institutions. Based on papers presented at the IV World Congress on National Parks and Protected Areas, this book explores how new and stronger partnerships can be formed between managers of protected areas and other sectors of society. It describes a range of activities currently under-way in many parts of the world that are intended to improve conservation efforts at the international, national, and local levels. The book will be a valuable resource for anyone involved with establishing new protected areas, and building more positive relationships with the people who live in or around protected areas.

A sustainable world : defining and measuring sustainable development
   

"Sustainability" and "sustainable development" have become the guiding principles of environmental policy and international development, but what do they really mean? How do we know if we are moving toward a sustainable world? The contributors to this volume address these questions from diverse backgrounds and a variety of perspectives - with the aim of translating ideas into practice.

As excellent examples of oceanic island ecosystems, many unmodified by human influences, these islands are of great conservation significance but adequate protection varies. The papers in this volume examine the progress made by various national authorities since the first workshop in 1986 and set out a new call for action in 35 recommendations.
