The economics, policy and natural resource management southern Africa workshop

This book focuses on the relationship between climate change and biodiversity. It opens with general perspectives on the main issues, pointing out the need to take an holistic approach and to urge policy makers to take action, even when scientific evidence is not always conclusive. Evidence on climate change and biodiversity loss in an historical context is presented, and the impact of climate change on terrestrial flora and fauna and on aquatic life closely examined.
BCIS Framework for Information Sharing is a set of handbooks available in three languages (French, Spanish and English) on CDRom, with a printed Executive Overview. The handbooks were written to support the growth of information management capacity. Topics are addressed at a managerial level rather than from a technical standpoint in the belief that the greatest challenges in modern information management are organisational rather than technical.
