The role and importance of INSAS for natural resource management

Soils FAO-GSP

The International Network for Salt-Affected Soils (INSAS) operates under the Global Soil Partnership and FAO to address the growing issue of salt-affected soils. Salt-affected soils occur in over 100 countries and threaten food security, especially in dry regions. Climate change is exacerbating the problem by reducing water availability and allowing seawater intrusion. INSAS aims to connect countries facing this issue, share best practices for managing salt-affected soils, and help ensure global food security.

Media Workshop - Impacts and Future Risks: What are the effects of Climate Ch...

ipcc-media

This document summarizes key findings from the IPCC report on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in Asia. It finds that Asia faces several risks from climate change, including increased flooding, drought, food insecurity, water scarcity, and spread of diseases. Adaptation options discussed include integrated water management, disaster risk reduction, coastal protection, and diversifying livelihoods. The report concludes there is low confidence in precipitation projections for Asia and adaptation must be tailored to local needs given varying climate hazards and vulnerabilities across the region.

Key Message - Climate Change Adaptation: Focus on Nepal and South Asia

ipcc-media

This document summarizes key messages from the IPCC report on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability in Asia. It finds that Asia faces several increased risks from climate change in the near and long term, including flooding, drought, food and water shortages, diseases, and damage to ecosystems. However, adaptation measures can help reduce these risks, such as improved disaster management, water resources management, and developing more resilient crops. Effective adaptation takes into account unique regional and local vulnerabilities and circumstances.

Coastal Management in Papua New Guinea

NAP Events

Papua New Guinea has over 20,000 km of coastline vulnerable to flooding that affects thousands of people annually and causes $7-8 million in damage; initiatives to address this include mangrove planting, early warning systems, and education campaigns, with a mangrove planting handbook developed over four years to provide guidance tailored to PNG's conditions. While the handbook has been used since 2014, its full impact on reducing coastal flooding is still being evaluated.

El documento resume los avances de REDD+ en las negociaciones de la CMNUCC y su implementación en Ecuador. REDD+ ha evolucionado desde 2007 para incluir la degradación forestal y otros beneficios ambientales y climáticos. La COP19 estableció el Marco de Varsovia, que define los requisitos para acceder a financiamiento basado en resultados. Ecuador ha desarrollado los elementos de preparación de REDD+, pero la COP19 implica finalizar el marco regulatorio y operativo e implementar una estrategia de reducción de emisiones para 2014-2021 a través de

Introduction to the Work of GWP-C and IWRM

Global Water Partnership-Caribbean (GWP-C)

The project aims to spearhead integrated natural resource management of the Baikal Lake Basin and Hovsgol Lake, ensuring ecosystem resilience and reduced water quality threats from sustainable economic development. Financed by the Global Environmental Facility and co-financed by the governments of Russia and Mongolia, the project is executed by the United Nations Development Programme and supported by partner ministries in Russia and Mongolia. It addresses threats from intensive development, increasing water demand, climate change, pollution, and aims to overcome policy gaps, institutional weaknesses, and low awareness of transboundary issues in the Baikal Basin.
