Este documento propone un conjunto de principios y lineamientos que actúen como el fundamento para la planeación de la AbE. La intención es que éstos sean usados durante la planeación nacional de adaptación por parte de instituciones financieras y durante el diseño de proyectos e investigación.

This paper is a summary of a longer and fully referenced document by the same authors. These draft guidelines were developed by this group at a workshop and meeting held in Costa Rica in June 2011 to initiate a more formal and iterative process for Ecosystem Based Adaptation Guidelines which can be discussed at various international and regional events.

This document proposes a series of draft principles and guidelines that were produced at a workshop with participation of its authors in June 2011, with the aim to serve as a foundation for planning ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation. The principles are intended to be used by decision makers in national policy in national, territorial and sector planning initiatives, in financial planning, and in project and research design.

There are two principles here, both reflecting the natural world. The first is that natural systems are based on cycles, for example water, nitrogen and carbon. Secondly, there is very little waste in natural systems.

This book seeks to reposition the law as a tool for implementing higher good, or, in other words, for providing justice by seeking to ensure individuals have access to the services that ecosystems naturally provide, and guaranteeing the right to water for human well-being. The goal of the publication is to contribute to a better understanding of the legal and institutional arrangements necessary for promoting good governance of transboundary waters between two or more States.

Este libro presenta los resultados de un proyecto de investigación internacional que fue expresamente diseñado para examinar la aplicación de la estauración del paisaje forestal (RPF) a los ecosistemas forestales de las zonas secas de América Latina.

The objectives of the first edition of the Pangani situation analysis included identifying the resources that occupy the Pangani River Basin (PRB) and the processes and events that affect them, and identifying a series of broad action areas wherein interventions may feasibly be delivered. A second edition was needed to take into account the operation of the Water Resource Management Act in July 2009.

The first in a regional series, this report examines forest management experiences of Canada and the United States, which have interrelated histories, economies and similar ecological and social systems.

Des zones importantes pour la conservation des oiseaux ainsi que des zones importantes pour les plantes ont déjà été identifiées dans plus de 170 pays. L’approche des Zones clés de la biodiversité se base sur le travail accompli jusqu’à ce jour, dans le but de prodiguer des conseils pratiques aux gouvernements dans l’identification des cites qui doivent être protégés pour assurer l’avenir à la fois de la biodiversité et de l’humanité.
