Invasive alien species (IAS) are a major, accelerating driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation across Africa, with growing implications for water security, food systems and rural livelihoods. The IUCN Save Our Species (SOS) African Wildlife Initiative (SOS AWI)—funded by the European Union—supports locally led, science-based action to reduce key biodiversity threats, including IAS, through practical management, restoration and capacity strengthening.
Jordan is situated at the intersection of three continents and is home to a variety of ecosystems and rich biodiversity. Maintaining this biodiversity in the face of climate change and human land use will require a representative and well-connected system of protected areas.
This report evaluates the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and local communities across six protected areas (PAs) in Jordan, as part of IUCN’s project “Enhancing Climate Resilience for Biodiversity Hotspots in Jordan.” The assessment integrates climatic data from ground stations, global climate models, and satellite sources with field observations and stakeholder consultations to provide a comprehensive analysis of climate-related threats and socio-economic vulnerabilities in the sel
Este documento es resultado del trabajo conjunto entre la Comisión de Gestión de Ecosistemas (CGE) y la Oficina Regional para México, América Central y el Caribe (ORMACC), dos de los pilares de la UICN. La CGE y ORMACC han colaborado en distintos temas en la región, en la implementación de proyectos, en procesos de capacitación y fortalecimiento institucional, con aportes científicos, entre otros.
This case study presents the self-assessment process for the Resilient Highlands Project, guided by the IUCN Global Standard for Nature-based Solutions (NbS). The assessment focused on the project’s theory of change, which includes water and soil management and conservation practices for the long-term sustainability of the hydrological cycle in the Guatemalan Highlands.
A compilation of nine working group reports.
Die Fähigkeit von Städten als Landschaften zur Förderung biologischer Vielfalt gilt als einer der entscheidenden Schritte, um den globalen Verlust der Artenvielfalt aufzuhalten, und auch die beiden anderen Aspekte der drei planetaren Krisen, Klimawandel und Umweltverschmutzung, anzugehen. Der Bericht soll Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, wie Natur und Biodiversität durch Maßnahmen, die innerhalb der einzelnen Gebäudestruktur umgesetzt werden, auf Gebäudeebene integriert werden können.
La capacidad de las ciudades como paisajes para sustentar la biodiversidad se acepta como uno de los pasos críticos necesarios para frenar la pérdida global de biodiversidad a la vez que se abordan los otros dos aspectos de la triple crisis planetaria, el cambio climático y la contaminación.
