This document provides guidance, information and evidence about how forest landscape restoration (FLR) can accelerate progress towards achieving the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, tackling the current challenges of maintaining a balance of land productivity and ecosystem integrity.

The World Heritage thematic study for Central Asia has been produced as a contribution to supporting the implementation of the World Heritage Convention in Central Asia. It provides a response to a Decision of the World Heritage Committee in order to identify outstanding areas with potential for future nomination to the World Heritage List with primary focus on criteria (ix) and (x) at the regional scale. The approach applied in this study, focusing on criteria (ix) and (x), follows that from the 2013 study on terrestrial biodiversity and the World Heritage List.

Rooted in discriminatory gender norms and laws and shrouded in impunity, gender-based violence (GBV) occurs in all societies as a means of control, subjugation and exploitation that further reinforces gender inequality. This publication establishes that these patterns of gender-based abuse are observed across environmental contexts, affecting the security and well-being of nations, communities and individuals, and jeopardising meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Le plastique a pénétré chaque aspect de notre vie : des vêtements aux peintures en passant par les véhicules et les produits d’hygiène. Le plastique est bon marché, durable, léger et malléable, ses usages sont donc quasi illimités. Les inconvénients du plastique deviennent cependant de plus en plus évidents : il fuit massivement dans les rivières et les océans, avec des effets dévastateurs sur les écosystèmes marins et les activités économiques qui en dépendent.

Plastic pollution originates from various sources. While many industries are taking steps to reduce their dependence on plastic, there is currently no reliable methodology to forecast specifically the extent of the marine plastic leakage from an industry or a country and map potential leakage hotspots throughout the value chain. This report offers, for the first time, a comprehensive framework to measure the inventory of marine plastic leakage, step-by-step and using a life-cycle perspective. It also offers generic data that can be used

La predicción de los impactos del cambio climático sobre la biodiversidad es un gran desafío científico. Se han desarrollado diferentes métodos para la evaluación de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático (EVCC) de las especies y se está produciendo una gran y creciente cantarget_idad de literatura científica al respecto. Nuestra motivación para realizar este documento es disminuir la magnitud del desafío que enfrentan los conservacionistas al interpretar y utilizar la compleja y frecuentemente inconsistente literatura sobre EVCC.

This Resource Manual has a specific purpose: helping to manage natural values within World Heritage properties. As such it is aimed at natural and mixed World Heritage properties as well as cultural landscapes (inscribed under cultural criteria). The intention is to help managers understand and incorporate World Heritage concepts and processes into natural site management. It is hoped that all natural World Heritage managers and staff will find useful guidance here and will be inspired to explore the many resources highlighted.
