Enhancing Nature-Based Solutions in North Macedonia

The main goal of this scoping study is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the national aspect of North Macedonia in regard of pilot activities to apply the Nature-based Solutions (NbS) concept for disaster risk reduction (DRR). The study refers to the available information from existing policies, programmes, and strategies (at the global, regional, national, and local levels). The analysed data are related to NbS for DRR, directly or indirectly.

Zarzadzanie ryzykiem katastrof w światowym dziedzictwie

The objectives of this manual are: to help the managers and management authorities of cultural and natural World Heritage properties to reduce the risks to these properties from natural and humanmade disasters; to illustrate the main principles of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) for heritage and a methodology to identify, assess and mitigate disaster risks; to explain how to prepare a DRM plan based on this methodology; to demonstrate that heritage can play a positive role in reducing risks from disasters; and to suggest how DRM plans for heritage properties can be integrated with national and regional disaster management strategies and plans.

The Bangladesh Sundarbans : a photoreal sojourn

The Sundarbans, the immense tidal mangrove forests of Bangladesh, are a mosaic of islands of different shapes and sizes, perennially washed by brackish water swirling in and around the endless and mind-boggling labyrinths of twisting water channels. This is the place where mainland Bangladesh meets the Bay of Bengal, making the area a globally unique ecological niche. This full colour publication has captured the Sundarbans in all their glory, and gives us a glimpse of its animals and plants, as well as its social and spiritual life.

Enhancing Nature-Based Solutions in Montenegro

Montenegro is a disaster-prone country particularly vulnerable to climate change, thus affecting multiple sectors – agriculture, biodiversity, energy, forestry, public health, coastal areas and maritime resources, tourism and water resources. The combination of the rise in frequency and intensity of climate-related hazards, and increasing development in the country raises the risks of these hazards causing substantial economic and health impacts. This uncertain and changing situation is hindering the fulfilment of Montenegro’s environmental, economic and developmental targets. The overall purpose of this scoping study is to provide the state-of-the art of the Montenegrin national context with regards to the application of Nature-based Solutions approaches for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. 

Enhancing Nature-Based Solutions in Kosovo

Kosovo is prone to a wide variety of natural hazards – including floods, landslides, droughts, earthquakes, and wildfires – that could pose serious damages to the economy, fiscal balances, and the well-being of vulnerable populations. Many of these climatic-related hazards are expected to magnify with future climate change. These climate and disaster risks can seriously affect productive sectors of the economy, particularly agriculture, infrastructure, energy, water resources, and communities and households. The overall purpose of this scoping study is to provide the state-of-the art of the Kosovo national context with regards to the application of Nature-based Solutions approaches for climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction.
