Biodiversity

L'objectif principal de ce document est de décrire comment les promoteurs peuvent commencer à agir sur les impacts de leur chaîne d'approvisionnement sur la biodiversité en améliorant les pratiques de traçabilité et d'approvisionnement. Celui-ci s'adresse principalement aux promoteurs de projets éoliens et solaires et d'infrastructures de transmission s'approvisionnant principalement en produits composites (par exemple, éoliennes et panneaux solaires).

This publication sets out a practical approach to spatial biodiversity assessment and prioritisation, which can be applied at the national level in any country. It shows a sequential process for biodiversity assessment, prioritisation and planning, based on a few foundational spatial datasets. This second edition now shows how the approach can help countries to implement the targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and monitor progress towards their achievement.

This guidance gives practical advice on how to go about mainstreaming the spatial biodiversity products. It explains how to present the results clearly, formulate effective key messages to suit the target audience and interpret the map categories in different contexts.

These guidelines aim to facilitate improved knowledge of agricultural and plantation forestry ecosystems, and their relationship with other ecosystems in complex landscapes, by providing clarity on how the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology is applied in the context of agricultural and plantation forestry production. This provides a foundation for a range of applications that can enable and support sustainable agriculture.

Natural and mixed World Heritage (WH) has generally not been a success in the Oceania region, due to limited support at all levels, unrealistic expectations about what WH can and cannot deliver, and a lack of resources to support all aspects of the WH process, particularly WH site management. This report assesses the implementation of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in Oceania in relation to natural and mixed WH sites.
