It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

The document discusses using the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water) and the International Recommendations for Water Statistics (IRWS) to transform water data into policy-relevant information. It describes how SEEA-Water and IRWS can be used to develop indicators for four areas of water policy: 1) improving access to drinking water and sanitation, 2) managing water supply and demand, 3) mitigating water degradation and improving quality, and 4) adapting to extreme weather events. The standards provide a framework for collecting comprehensive, consistent, and comparable water statistics to support informed decision-making. More countries are implementing water accounting to monitor natural resources and the environment.

Rural areas face pollution issues from sources like agriculture, forestry, and septic tanks. Key pollutants include nutrients, sediment, pesticides, and pathogens. Objectives aim to achieve good water quality. Assessing current status versus objectives and potential trends under business as usual is needed to determine what actions may bridge any gaps. A hierarchy of advice, incentives, and regulation can be used to achieve objectives. New initiatives further address rural pollution problems through demonstration projects and catchment-based approaches.
The document discusses the need for enhanced cooperation and synergies among multilateral environmental conventions related to biodiversity, combating desertification, and sustainable land and water management in the Near East and North Africa region. It notes that unsustainable practices have degraded 24% of global land and calls for more sustainable and efficient food production, protection of biodiversity and ecosystems, and integrated management of resources. Achieving the goals of conventions like the CBD and UNCCD will require increased understanding of environmental values, traditional knowledge, control of invasive species, and using science to inform policymaking and regional cooperation on issues like climate change adaptation.

It outlines key challenges like rising sea levels, changing weather patterns, and damage to coral reefs from warming oceans. Recent regional projects aim to build climate resilience in fishing communities through activities like developing early warning systems for fishers of weather threats and establishing a regional fisheries risk insurance fund to incentivize climate-smart practices. The document also discusses partnerships and opportunities to scale up best practices to increase adaptation efforts across the Caribbean.
The document discusses the Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project and Integrated Water Resources Management projects. It aims to support the sustainable development and management of international waters in Pacific island countries. The projects work on issues such as overfishing, pollution, and inadequate water management. They implement solutions like integrated coastal zone management, fisheries management, and demonstrations of best practices in watershed management, wastewater treatment, and sustainable groundwater use. The projects have made progress but still need to focus more on national implementation, awareness raising, and long-term capacity building.

The Global Programme of Action (GPA) aims to protect the marine environment from land-based pollution through a global, regional, and national approach. The GPA focuses on preventing degradation from activities like wastewater discharge and habitat destruction. It is a non-binding agreement adopted in 1995 that provides guidance to countries on reducing pollution from sources like sewage, heavy metals, and sediment. The GPA also promotes integrated management of coastal and river basin areas to protect the many benefits people derive from coastal and marine ecosystems.

This document provides an overview of large marine ecosystems (LMEs) and efforts to implement ecosystem-based management (EBM) of LMEs. It notes that LMEs produce 80% of global fisheries catches and contribute $12.6 trillion annually to the global economy. The document outlines the five module assessment approach used for LMEs, including productivity, fish/fisheries, pollution, socioeconomics, and governance. It discusses how the Global Environment Facility has provided $6.01 billion since 1994 to support EBM planning and implementation projects in 22 LMEs. The LME approach is now the cornerstone of the GEF's ocean management strategy.

TDA/SAP Methodology Training Course Module 2 Section 1Iwl Pcu
This document discusses the development of a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA). It outlines the steps to develop the TDA, including defining system boundaries, collecting and analyzing data, identifying and prioritizing transboundary problems, determining the impacts of priority problems, analyzing causes of problems, and developing thematic reports. It also discusses that the TDA provides factual basis for the strategic planning component and should involve engagement with stakeholders throughout the process. Finally, it notes that the TDA development team should be representative of participating countries and stakeholders.
TDA/SAP Methodology Training Course Module 2 Section 10Iwl Pcu
This document provides information about governance analysis as part of the TDA/SAP process. It defines governance as the process of decision-making and implementation. Governance analysis examines the key aspects of political, economic, and civil society processes. It focuses on the dynamics of these relationships. There is no agreed approach, and the type of analysis will depend on the cultural, political, and social structures of the countries involved. The governance analysis should consider the decision-making, institutional, policy, and civil society arrangements that influence economic and political decisions affecting the issues being analyzed. The document provides advice to go beyond formal structures and understand informal dynamics and relationships.

TDA/SAP Methodology Training Course Module 2 Section 9Iwl Pcu
This document provides guidance on drafting a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA). It discusses integrating various parts of the TDA, such as thematic reports, studies, and stakeholder analyses. It recommends that a TDA should be concise and easy to understand, with an executive summary, main text, supporting data/figures, maps, a content list, and acknowledgements. Technical reports can be annexed. The TDA size typically ranges from 80-150 pages. Preliminary recommendations for the Strategic Action Program can be included. The TDA should be reviewed by stakeholders and adopted by the steering committee, though government acceptance is also often required.
