Water management
Winning the environment : the ecosystem approach and its value for military operations
After a short introduction of the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management (CEM), the present presentation develops the application of the ecosystem approach by the military sector, in particular in relation to peace-support operations and reconstruction programmes. It describes a simple model of 4 steps. The first step deals with the physical system (“the ecosystem”), the second step with the use of the ecosystem and the third step with its management (institutions and regulations).

The purpose of this study has been to collect insights into corporate ‘water stewardship’ based on exchanges of information and views with representatives of private companies, public agencies, NGOs and other organisations involved in corporate water management. The discussion was extended to consider how water stewardship contributes to water resources management and how it connects with efforts by governments to implement ‘integrated’ water resources management (IWRM) under the Sustainable Development Goals.
