The threat of climate displacement looms large over a growing number of countries. Based on the more than six years of work by Displacement Solutions in ten climate-affected countries, academic work on displacement and climate adaptation, and the country-level efforts of civil society groups in several frontline countries, this report explores the key contention that land will be at the core of any major strategy aimed at preventing and resolving climate displacement.
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet’s slide to certain environmental disaster.
Following several years of preparatory work across the globe, legal scholars, judges, UN officials and climate change experts from 11 countries came together to finalise a new normative framework aiming to strengthen the right of climate-displaced persons, households and communities. This resulted in the approval of the Peninsula Principles on Climate Displacement within States in August 2013.
Les solutions fondées sur la nature (SfN) sont des actions entreprises pour protéger, gérerdurablement et restaurer les écosystèmesnaturels et modifiés qui bénéficientsimultanément aux personnes et à la nature. Les SfN sont essentielles pour relever desdéfis tels que les changements climatiques, lasécurité alimentaire, la sécurité hydrique, lesrisques de catastrophes, la santé humaine et ledéveloppement social et économique.
Las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza (SbN) son actividades emprendidas para proteger, gestionar de manera sostenible y restaurar los ecosistemas naturales y modificados en beneficio simultáneo de las personas y la naturaleza. Las SbN son fundamentales para abordar desafíos como el cambio climático, la seguridad alimentaria e hídrica, el riesgo de desastres, la salud humana y el desarrollo social y económico.
The rapidly increasing human pressure on the biosphere is pushing biodiversity into the sixth mass extinction event in the history of life on Earth. The organisms being exterminated are integral working parts of our planet’s life support system, and their loss is permanent. Like climate change, this irreversible loss has potentially devastating consequences for humanity. As we come to recognise the many ways in which we depend on nature, this can pave the way for a new ethic that acknowledges the importance of co-existence between humans and other species.
The main goal of this scoping study is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the national aspect of North Macedonia in regard of pilot activities to apply the Nature-based Solutions (NbS) concept for disaster risk reduction (DRR). The study refers to the available information from existing policies, programmes, and strategies (at the global, regional, national, and local levels). The analysed data are related to NbS for DRR, directly or indirectly.
