Climate change poses serious threats to many coastal and marine systems, including those being managed as protected areas. The following manual describes an approach – Climate Adaptation Methodology for Protected Areas (CAMPA): Coastal and Marine – for developing climate adaptation measures in the management of coastal and marine protected areas. 

Natural World Heritage sites are internationally recognised as having the highest global nature conservation priority. As of November 2017, there are 241 natural and mixed (both cultural and natural) World Heritage sites, representing about 0.1% of the total number of protected areas globally, but yet with a total coverage of 294 million hectares, accounting for 8% of the combined surface of terrestrial and 6% of marine protected areas.

El presente libro tiene como objetivo mostrar experiencias obtenidas en Colombia, Ecuador y Perú fruto de actividades dirigidas hacia la adaptación al cambio climático y la conservación de los páramos; actividades que, a su vez, han sido dirigidas principalmente hacia mujeres y con un enfoque de género.

Despite increasing recognition of the importance of ecosystem-based approaches for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, implementation remains mostly underdeveloped worldwide. Lack of knowledge on the implementation process present an important barrier.

The Earth is faster now is a collection of ten papers describing contemporary efforts to document indigenous knowledge of environmental change in the Arctic. It reviews major individual studies on indigenous knowledge and climate change undertaken during the past few years, primarily in North America.

La investigación-acción de equidad y REDD+ realizada en Perú apuntó a responder las siguientes preguntas:1. Qué significa «equidad» y cómo se relaciona con las iniciativas de conservación y manejo sostenible de los bosques vinculadas al cambio climático, como REDD+?; 2. ¿Cómo se aborda la equidad en los procesos de las iniciativas de conservación y manejo sostenible de los bosques relacionadas con el cambio climático, como REDD+? 3.

This thematic study focuses on the contribution the World Heritage Convention can make to wilderness conservation around the world. It provides pragmatic guidance to the Convention and its many partners for strengthening protection of wilderness by promoting the profound linkages between culture and wild nature.
