The capacity of cities as landscapes to support biodiversity is accepted as one of the critical steps necessary to halt global biodiversity loss and also address the other two aspects of the triple planetary crisis, climate change and pollution. The intent of the report is to communicate opportunities for the integration of nature and biodiversity into the building scale, through the measures implemented within the individual building structure. The document provides context by reviewing global agreements and initiatives that support these themes, and discusses leading examples from global cities before providing a more in-depth review of the range of initiatives from eight European municipalities.
The proposed green energy solutions are focused on agriculture in Tajikistan, addressing critical irrigation and energy access issues. Established in 2016, the company ‘Tekhnologiyahoi Sabz’ (Green Technologies) installs solar-powered pumps and irrigation systems to overcome water shortages, frequent power outages, and high diesel costs. Their solar and micro-hydro systems provide efficient, sustainable water access for rural farms, significantly improving agricultural productivity while lowering operational expenses and carbon emissions. By fostering sustainable farming practices, these solutions enhance economic viability for farmers and contribute to a resilient, eco-friendly agricultural sector, advancing Tajikistan’s green transition. The company also offers solar cooling systems for storage and backup power solutions, further reducing dependency on conventional energy and promoting long-term financial and environmental benefits for Tajikistan’s agricultural future.
Jiangxi and Fujian provinces have carried out a lot of collaboration around the protection, construction and management of Wuyishan National Park, but there are relevant laws and regulations no longer adapted to the needs of the construction of national parks, the management system is not smooth, the protection and development of contradictions, insufficient law enforcement, low public participation and other issues, which restricts the high standard of protection and high-quality development of Wuyishan National Park.
Jiangxi and Fujian provinces collaborative legislation, introduced the “Jiangxi Province Wuyishan National Park Regulations” and “Fujian Province Wuyishan National Park Regulations” for the protection, construction and management of Wuyishan National Park provides a rule of law, protection of the tone is more stringent, will promote the enhancement of the protection and management level of the Wuyishan National Park, to help Jiangxi to build a national ecological civilization construction of the highland.
PROAMAZONÍA, 2017-2023 Ecuadorian initiative, reduced deforestation and CO2 emissions. Linked national emission reduction efforts, priority agendas, and productive policies within REDD+ “Forests for Good Living” 2016-2025 framework. Achieved 7 million tons of CO2 equivalent emission reductions from deforestation, contributing to Ecuador’s NDC. Composed of GCF and GEF-funded projects, executed by Ministries of the Environment, Water and Agriculture and Livestock and UNDP.
It laid solid foundations for REDD+ financing and governance in Ecuador, leaving an invaluable legacy.
This document provides broad guidance on surveillance of infectious and non-infectious wildlife diseases, pathogens and toxic agents to assist in the implementation of a national surveillance programme for free-ranging wildlife. It is intended to promote a common understanding, which can serve as a foundation for training and operational procedures. While this guidance is geared to surveillance of free-ranging wildlife (whether in spaces managed by the public or private sector), much of the information is also generally applicable to (though not comprehensive for) wild animals in captive settings.
The need to transition to a lower carbon, naturesafe renewable energy-based economy is more urgent than ever. This report provides an overview of potential opportunities for biodiversity enhancement for wind and solar developments, bringing together information on good practice principles, case studies from industry practice, and a summary of existing approaches to biodiversity enhancement. It is intended as a compendium summary resource for developers, combining a variety of diffuse information from literature and community of practice.
Estas directrices ofrecen un enfoque hacia la creación de un papel prominente y apropiado para la relevancia cultural y espiritual de la naturaleza dentro de la gobernanza y la gestión de las áreas protegidas y conservadas. Intentan superar algunas de las dificultades causadas por los objetivos contradictorios a la hora de comprometerse con la cultura en el contexto de la conservación de la naturaleza. Lo hacen reconociendo la diversidad global de visiones del mundo, sistemas de gobernanza, religiones y lenguas que conforman las diferentes formas de entender la naturaleza.
World Heritage properties are internationally recognized as places of Outstanding Universal Value that should benefit from the highest level of management effectiveness. The Toolkit 2.0 offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate management effectiveness in a World Heritage property or other heritage place. It contains 12 tools that can be used separately or collectively to understand in detail what is working well and what can be done better. The Toolkit supports managers in identifying ways to improve conservation practices, management processes and resource allocation – particularly if used before reviewing or updating management plans. While there is a focus on World Heritage, it can be applied to all heritage places, whether natural, cultural or combinations of both.
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. The purpose of the Guidelines for using A Global Standard for the Identification of Key Biodiversity Areas is to ensure that KBA identification is based on consistent, scientifically rigorous yet practical methods. The KBA Guidelines provide an overview of the steps for identifying and delineating KBAs, together with explanation of how the KBA criteria, thresholds and delineation procedures should be applied in practice. The KBA Guidelines should be used hand-in-hand with the KBA Standard (IUCN, 2016).
Unsustainable agricultural practices are among the main causes of biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution globally. It is thus essential to integrate environmental conservation practices in the agriculture sector when looking at pathways for a sustainable future. In this context, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) could be a critical tool for improving the status of productive landscapes. This publication focuses on the relationship between sustainable agricultural practices and the concept of Nature-based Solutions, and specifically the applicability of the IUCN Global Standard for NbS™ in agricultural contexts. The aim is to provide experts and policymakers with ideas, recommendations, and concrete uses for these tools, in order to outline a potential path to a more sustainable future for the agricultural sector.
