The document discusses how ecotourism can be used to build resilient communities and transform protected areas, communities, and their connections. It notes that communities unprepared for changes like new technologies and climate change are stressed. Ecotourism has the potential to enhance protected area management, transform communities economically and culturally, and strengthen connections between communities and protected areas. However, barriers like a lack of social capital, financial resources, and shared vision must be addressed. Ongoing monitoring is needed to adapt strategies as outcomes change over time.

Close devt gap

yahui_tan

National strategies like improving education, job creation, and population control helped Singapore narrow its development gap. These strategies were generally effective for Singapore by creating jobs, improving skills, and optimizing population. However, overreliance on any strategy can be ineffective. International cooperation through organizations like the World Bank and agreements like the UNMDGs also aimed to reduce disparities with aid, expertise sharing, and agreements, but corruption and unsustainable resource use sometimes limited aid's effectiveness. Overall, a balanced set of national development strategies combined with responsible international cooperation can help close the gap, but sustainability is important.

What Is Sustainability

Hillary Jenkins

The document discusses sustainability and sustainable practices for businesses. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Strong sustainability embraces renewable energy, treats waste as a resource, and values diversity and ecosystem resilience. Key aspects of strong sustainability are systems thinking, a principled definition, and backcasting to understand sustainability and practice it effectively.

The "Future of Revaluing Ecosystems" meeting brought together 28 experts to explore ways to better measure and manage the world's natural capital and its contributions to human well-being. Key discussions focused on future trends that will influence ecosystem valuation like rising consumption, climate change, and data availability. Scenarios of different trends in 2025 were explored, such as greater ecosystem shocks triggering demand for more sustainable supply chains. Participants also discussed solutions like financial instruments for ecosystem restoration and new ratings agencies to direct capital to ecosystem management. The overall goal was to change perspectives on nature from something sacrificed for development to something that underpins development.

Sharing experiences in landscape approaches

GPFLR

The document discusses the landscape approach to land use planning and management. It defines a landscape as a spatially heterogeneous area characterized by diverse ecosystems ranging from natural to human-dominated. A landscape is multi-functional and defined by its internal processes rather than boundaries. Taking a landscape approach allows viewing the bigger picture and considering competing claims and drivers at multiple levels and scales. It involves moving from a planning approach to co-design through participatory and adaptive processes.

Bill Clark: Innovation for What?

ISCN_Secretariat

This document summarizes a presentation on innovation for sustainable development given at an international conference. It discusses how campus sustainability initiatives have largely focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions but not broader perspectives of sustainability now common in academia and business. It argues campuses should innovate to enhance all core assets - natural, human, social, manufactured, and knowledge - to ensure inclusive well-being across generations, not just current environmental performance. It prompts conference attendees to discuss which asset stocks and sustainability areas their campuses focus or do not focus innovation efforts, and why.

ACCCRN Cities Projects 2014

The Rockefeller Foundation

Cities around the world are facing challenges brought about by rapid increases in population and geographic spread, which places greater pressure on infrastructure and services. Climate change impacts, including rising sea level, more frequent and severe storms, coastal erosion and declining freshwater sources will likely exacerbate these urban issues, in particular in poor and vulnerable communities that lack adequate infrastructure and services. Globally, the impacts of climate change on urban areas have received less attention than on rural areas where poverty levels are higher and populations depend directly on climate-sensitive livelihoods. However, more than 50% of the world’s population currently lives in cities. By 2050, this figure is expected to increase to 70%, or 6.4 billion people, and Asian cities are likely to account for more than 60% of this increase. Urban areas are the economic powerhouses that support both the aspirations of the poor and most national economies. Furthermore, urban residents and the economic activity they generate depend on systems that are fragile and often subject to failure under the combination of climate and development pressures. If urban systems fail, the potential direct and indirect impacts of climate change on urban residents in general, on poor and vulnerable populations, and on the wider economy is massive. As a result, work on urban climate resilience is of critical importance in overall global initiatives to address the impacts of climate change. The Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) works at the intersection of climate change, urban systems and social vulnerability to consider both direct and indirect impacts of climate change in urban areas.

Task Force On Sustainable Lifestyles Presentation

Tom Gater

Lifestyles are part of our identity; people express their social position, political preferences and psychological aspirations to others through them. Lifestyles define and differentiate us. They are the way we live our lives. Lifestyles are shaped by a whole host of factors. Their roots are in culture, politics, economics and social norms. For sustainable lifestyles to enter our cultures and societies, to become part of our everyday life, they must be developed at all levels. They need to be enabled and encouraged by the social and technical systems and institutions that surround us. People will only swap their car for public transport if there’s an efficient and cost-effective public transport system.

What sustainability means to me

Cleaner Greener China

A subject that is at the core of nearly every conversation I have, my goal was to simply show others how I frame sustainability, and then how I take the steps I do. I tend to look past the environmental and investment focuses that have come to define sustainability towards systems and program, and it was through this lens that I really looked to focus the 30 or so who were in attendance. As it is through this lens that I have developed my own platforms and solutions in China.

Enabling Tourism at Natural Heritage Sites

Steve McCool

Anna Pollock Investing In Future Values

Anna Pollock

The document discusses how values are changing and how this will impact tourism in the South Pacific. It explores how values have historically changed from celebration and pilgrimage to adventure, meaning, doing good, and coming home. Values now influence how we spend time and money. The document argues that to anticipate future values, one must look deeper at trends, drivers, paradigms, culture and perceptions. It suggests tourism is a community of connecting agents rather than an industry. The South Pacific is well positioned due to its ability to anticipate future values through wayfinding and its operating systems are changing from industrial to ecological models focused on relationships, collaboration and sustainability.

This document discusses protected area planning in an era of increasing complexity. It outlines three waves of planning - technical, ecosystem-based, and adaptive. The current context requires third wave planning that is adaptive, inclusive, and emphasizes learning and consensus building. Key aspects of moving forward include framing protected areas as social-ecological systems, practicing adaptive management, and developing learning platforms to enhance competencies through research, education, and communities of practice. The overall message is that planning must change to address today's "wicked" problems through holistic, strategic, and learning-based approaches.

Rethinking visitor management for the 21st century internet version

Steve McCool

Rethinking Visitor Management for the 21st Century discusses the need to rethink approaches to visitor management given increasing complexity, uncertainty, and competing demands in recreation areas. Traditional mental models for managing visitors may no longer apply and new frameworks are needed. Effective frameworks structure thinking, integrate different forms of knowledge, and help decision-makers work through complex issues. However, frameworks only work when supported by organizational capacity, technical proficiency, inclusion of diverse viewpoints, and consideration of the overall system rather than just individual events or sites.
