Capacity Building for the Planning, Assessment and Systematic Observations of Forests by Karan Deo Singh Pdf

This book is intended to support the forestry institutions in the tropical countries in the planning, assessment and systematic observation of forests required to fulfill their obligations as laid in international conventions such as the CBD and UNFCCC. Following the Rio Conference, a number of countries, donors and international organizations have implemented capacity-building projects with varying degrees of success. One main reason for the varying success rates seems to lie in the design of technical assistance programs, which have been formulated on the traditional lines of mainly generating forest resources information or transferring technology; whereas Agenda 21 requires fundamental changes in countries’ institutions and approaches to planning and implementing the conservation and sustainable development of forests through a process of continuing research and analysis. The book is intended to serve the basic needs of national planning strategies and international and donor support.

Environment : Global Warming(encyclopaedia Of Environment), Vol# 3 by Ed. K.R. Gupta Pdf

Environmentalists Across The World Have Opined That The Unprecedented Ferocity Of Nature Be It The Catastrophic Floods And Rains In Orissa And Mozambique Or The Devastating Drought And Famine In Africa And Mongolia Is Connected To Global Warming, Which Is Primarily A Human- Induced Phenomenon Caused By The Increasing Use Of Fuels To Run Our Economies. Glaciers Thinning In Antarctica And Receding Of Himalayan Glaciers Are Being Considered As Alarm Bells For The Entire World. Recently, Scientists Have Predicted That If Global Warming Goes On, Nothing Can Prevent Large Chunks Of Earth'S Surface Coastal Bangladesh, Maldives, Alpine Meadows In The Rocky Mountains And Some Barrier Lands From Being Swept Away In The Forseeable Future. It Has Been Aptly Observed By David King, Uk Government S Chief Scientific Adviser, Climate Change Poses A Bigger Threat To The Planet Than Terrorism. The World Not Only Needs To Take A Tough Stand Against Any Further Investments That Support And Prolong Our Dependence On Fossil Fuels, But Also To Make Deep Cuts In The Carbon Emissions If Humanity Is To Survive. Realising The Urgent Need For Arresting The Trend; For Developing Awareness In The Readers About The Preservation Of Biodiversity And Its Significance For Life, Sustainability And Equity; And For Warning Against The Consequences Of Environmental Exploitation As Well, The Present Volume Has Been Compiled. An Attempt Has Been Made Here To Study Not Only The General Causes And Effects Of Global Warming But Also To Highlight Its Effect On Particular Regions. Kyoto Protocol An International Law, Aiming To Reduce Greenhouse Gases Emissions Has Been Analytically Studied And Remedial Measures Have Also Been Suggested In This Volume.The Book Would Be Highly Useful For Students And Researchers Of Environment. It Would Be Useful To Government Executives And Ngos Concerned With Environment And Pollution Problems. Since The Laymen Are Deeply Interested In Clean Environment, The Book Would Be Of Great Interest To Them.

Regime Interaction in International Forest Law by Yilly Vanessa Pacheco Restrepo Pdf

Despite covering almost a third of the globe, forests do not enjoy the protection of a singular global legal convention. Instead, International Forest Law is a complex ecosystem in its own right. This book sets out to examine this complexity by analyzing forest-related Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and how the decisions of the various corresponding Conferences of the Parties (COPs) may promote regime interaction in this field of law. Through an in-depth analysis of more than 60 decisions and resolutions of such COPs, Yilly Pacheco discusses how secondary law-making activity in forest-related MEAs may be strengthened and used to fill the gaps in International Forest Law.

International Conservation Law by Rob Amos Pdf

Through a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches, this book explores the role of international environmental law in protecting and conserving plants. Underpinning every ecosystem on the planet, plants provide the most basic requirements: food, shelter and clear air. Yet the world’s plants are in trouble; a fifth of all plant species are at risk of extinction, with thousands more in perpetual decline. In a unique study of international environmental law, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and restrictions associated with protecting and conserving plants. Through analysing the relationship between conservation law and conservation practice, the book debates whether the two work symbiotically, or if the law poses more of a hindrance than a help. Further discussion of the law’s response to some of the major threats facing plants, notably climate change, international trade and invasive species, grounds the book in conservation literature. Using case studies on key plant biomes to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the law in practice, the book also includes previously unpublished results of an original empirical study into the correlations between the IUCN Red List and lists of endangered/protected species in international instruments. To conclude, the book looks to the future, considering broader reforms to the law to support the work of conservation practitioners and reshape humanity’s relationships with nature. The book will be of interest to scholars and students working in the field of international environmental law and those interested more broadly in conservation and ecological governance frameworks.

The Disputed Białowieża Forest by Maciej Perkowski,Wojciech Zoń,Przemysław Saganek Pdf

The Polish dispute on an adequate approach towards the Białowieża Forest has been significantly internationalised, primarily by UNESCO and the European Union. The judgment of the CJEU has not settled the substance of the dispute, although it points to a violation of EU legal standards. The authors of The Disputed Białowieża Forest: Legal Remedies for the Protection of Cross-border Properties address the dispute in a constructive and interdisciplinary manner, rather than merely expressing concern towards in situ conservation, and derive universal legal remedies from it. They conclude that in the case of unique invaluable goods, adequate individual solutions should be applied in the form of a localised agreement, open to many entities (interested states, international organisations and even socially responsible private corporations), on the condition that organisational and financial co-responsibility are accepted.
