Sustainable development

The Integrated District Development Vision (IDDV) for Lasbela was developed through a wide consultative process as a sustainable development agenda using integrated planning for environment friendly and sustainable development, conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and protection of its environment. It also provides an implementation framework for implementing the measures listed in all sectors and cross cutting themes.

This publication presents innovative ways that have been used to influence policy processes, from community pressure groups through elected and unelected leaders, to scientific discourse at the levels of directors of economic planning and conservation. The book analyzes experiences from a variety of conservation interventions by IUCN and other agencies, primarily in Eastern Africa, and challenges the notion of policymaking as a cyclical process.

This report draws on lessons learned from observations made at seven case study sites, all of which permit economic activities, especially recreation, that are not harmful to the biological values and natural functions of the area. There is now a need to translate these experiences into policy instruments. The guidelines, summarised in some 20 pages, offer sound and well-documented advice on how to proceed.

This publication brings together case studies, best practices and lessons learned on capacity development aspects of water and the green economy. Contained herein are mainly constributions from UN agencies working together in the inter-agency mechanism known as UN-Water, which look at the characteristics of a green economy and what it will take to accomplish the transition to one with respect to capacity development needs within the water supply and sanitation sector.

Es importante integrar las consideraciones relativas a la biodiversidad en la localización y el diseño de hoteles y complejos turísticos para mantener a largo plazo no sólo la viabilidad y conservación de los ecosistemas sino también el éxito financiero de dichos hoteles y complejos.

Intégrer les questions de biodiversité dans les décisions relatives à l'implantation et à la conception d'hôtels et de complexes hôteliers est important non tant pour la conservation et le maintien de la viabilité des écosystèmes, que pour la réussite financière à long terme des hôtels et des complexes hôteliers.

The purpose of this guide is to help owners and managers of small and large hotels, located in all areas, from cities to mountain to coastal areas, to conserve nature. In particular, it is designed to guide the sustainable use of biological resources in the day-to-day operations of hotels.
