Politike i strategije Evropske unije u oblasti životne sredine u jugoistocnoj Evropi : prirucnik za obuku organizacija civilnog društva iz jugoistocne Evrope o primjeni EU legislative u oblasti zaštite prirode

There are a number of EU policy areas that could have a direct or indirect impact on nature and biodiversity, and without effective application of cross-compliance principles, conservation efforts cannot be successful. The current publication does not make an attempt to cover all those areas but instead it presents in detail those most relevant to the protection of nature. It covers the concept of Green Infrastructure as an effective approach of combating the increasingly fragmented European landscape. The concept components, among others, include ecological connectivity and its implementation in practice through Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Appropriate Assessments (AA) and land use planning documents. Ecological networks, as one of the most important tools for effective conservation, are presented through the special case of the Natura 2000 network. The publication is intended to assist conservation experts in their effective engagement in national conservation efforts and to provide them with a tool for delivering knowledge to CSO members. It contains theoretical sections under each topic, practical exercises and a section listing further reading and references to various sources of information, such as websites, presentations, guidelines, etc.

Global strategy on invasive alien species

The spread of invasive alien species (IAS) is creating complex and far-reaching challenges that threaten both the natural biological riches of the earth and the well being of its citizens. Summarising key findings of the Phase I Synthesis Conference held in September 2000 in Cape Town, Republic of South Africa, this publication presents ten strategic responses that address how to mitigate the threats of IAS. Directed toward the decision-makers whose policies and practices are affecting the movement of species around the world, this strategy strives to provide a resource to increase awareness and provide policy advice.

The TRIPS agreement, sustainable development and the public interest : discussion paper

This paper addresses the environmental and developmental impacts of patent protection by specifically focusing on the global agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). While the TRIPS agreement serves as an important step in harmonizing international intellectual property systems, the author contends that it currently fails to properly balance public and private interests, especially in the gap between rich and poor. This thoughtful paper can serve as a base from which to debate a serious issue and suggest proposals for reform.

Impactos ambientais da dispersão de rejeitos de mineração em ambientes costeiros e marinhos

Com base no volume de rejeitos lançados e na extensão das áreas atingidas, o rompimento da Barragem de Fundão, em Mariana, Minas Gerais, foi o maior desastre ambiental de todos os tempos na mineração brasileira, e um dos mais graves do mundo. Ao serem transportados a jusante da barragem rompida, os rejeitos foram se acumulando ao longo dos rios e alcançaram o estuário do Rio Doce, na ecorregião marinha do Leste brasileiro, afetando importantes ecossistemas. Neste Relatório Temático, o Painel do Rio Doce aborda o desafio de transformar dados e informações obtidos por meio de monitoramento em conhecimento capaz de subsidiar decisões sobre mitigação de impactos. É proposta uma abordagem metodológica para avaliar os conhecimentos atuais sobre os impactos do desastre em áreas costeiras e marinhas.

The environmental impacts of a major mine tailings spill on coastal and marine environments

Based on the volume of tailings releases and the distance they travelled, the Fundão Dam failure in southeast Brazil (Mariana, Minas Gerais state) was the largest ever environmental disaster in Brazil’s mining industry, and one of the world’s most serious. As they dispersed downriver, the tailings accumulated along the riverbanks and reached the Rio Doce estuary in the Eastern Brazilian Marine Ecoregion. When the dam failed, the mining company and government agencies conducted rapid assessments. But while the government set up a five-year monitoring programme, it took almost a year after the disaster to issue official guidelines and another two years of negotiations and approvals before the data collection began. In this Thematic Report, the Rio Doce Panel looks at government mandated monitoring reports as well as peerreviewed papers, most of which were authored by independent researchers, to assess our knowledge about the disaster’s impacts on marine and coastal areas.
