Negotiate is a vital new resource for those interested in designing, leading, or participating in negotiation and consensus building on sustainable water resources management. Water practitioners are increasingly called upon to negotiate workable agreements about how to best use, manage and care for water resources.
Opportunities to mitigate climate change by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), especially in developing countries, have risen to the top of the international climate policy agenda, attracting increasing attention and investment from environmental organizations, development assistance agencies and the business community.
This IUCN review released in Copenhagen highlights the way climate change is adversely affecting marine, terrestrial and freshwater habitats. Arctic fox, Leatherback turtle, Beluga whale, Salmon and Ringed seal are amongst 10 species "destined to be hardest hit by climate change."
This book builds on related experience of the IUCN Environmental Law Centre in the areas of Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES), Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, Access and Benefit-Sharing
This report presents 10 examples of
Ecosystem-based Adaptation taking
place in both developing and developed countries, at national, regional, and local scales, and in marine, terrestrial, and freshwater environments.
A report on the national and continental conservation status of African and Asian rhinoceros species, trade in specimens of rhinoceros, stocks of specimens of rhinoceros and stock
management, incidents of illegal killing of rhinoceroses, enforcement issues, and conservation actions and management strategies, with an evaluation of their effectiveness.
This document provides an overview of the interactions between the ocean and climate and describes the impacts of climate change on the marine ecosystems and the goods and services
they provide human society. Further, it outlines a set
The IUCN report, The Management of Natural Coastal Carbon Sinks, launched at the climate change and protected area summit in Granada, Spain. The first in-depth study revealing the latest science of marine ecosystems, such as seagrass meadows, mangroves and salt marshes, shows that they have a much greater capacity to progressively trap carbon than land carbon sinks, such as forests.
This publication intends to provide guidance on the benefits of, and ways to integrate environmental concerns into disaster risk reduction strategies (DRR) at the local and national levels. The questions this guidance note answers are: What are healthy ecosystems and ecosystem management? How can we integrate these environmental considerations into DRR?
