Directrices Mundiales Para La Restauraci N De Bosques Y Paisajes Degradados En Las Tierras Secas

Este número de Unasylva tiene como objetivo mostrar las oportunidades de la Restauración de Bosques y Paisajes (RBP) y los desarrollos recientes que tienen el poder de ampliar el alcance de la restauración, con el fin de lograr la promesa del Desafío de Bonn y otros compromisos nacionales e internacionales (Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), la Agenda Post-2020 del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB), la Neutralidad de la Degradación de la Tierra de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas de Lucha contra la Desertificación (CNULD), el Acuerdo de París de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC)) y abordar las necesidades del Decenio de las Naciones Unidas 2021-2030 sobre la Restauración de los Ecosistemas. El contenido aborda temas de relevancia para distintas audiencias: i) iniciativas de restauración emblemáticas que se diferencian de las habituales, ya que canalizan más fondos, empoderan mejor a las partes interesadas locales y proporcionan una mayor asistencia técnica a través de coaliciones de socios; ii) avances técnicos que pueden difundir la RBP y tienen un enorme potencial para ser incorporados por diferentes razones (bajo coste, adaptabilidad, relevancia para muchos ecosistemas y contextos, facilidad de aplicación...); iii) los factores que propician la restauración, es decir, la coordinación, el entorno político, los recursos, los conocimientos y las capacidades, ya que son las condiciones que permiten actuar sobre el terreno.

Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

This report examines how the two global mega-trends of population ageing and rising inequalities have been developing and interacting, both within and across generations.

Addresses the three pillars of an integrated approach to drought risk reduction: monitoring and early warning and information delivery systems; vulnerability and impact assessment; and mitigation and response. Provides sound analyses of the growing challenges presented by drought events and the shortcomings and opportunities for drought policy and preparedness in the context of water-related stresses across many jurisdictions Discusses in-depth case studies from researchers and practitioners dealing with drought and water-sensitive issues at local, national, and global scales. Presents the new science, theory and state-of the-art methods that have emerged throughout the world since the publication of the first edition.

This short introduction conveys the complexities associated with the term "territory" in a clear and accessible manner. It surveys the field and brings theory to ground in the case of Palestine. A clear and accessible introduction to the complexities associated with the term "territory". Provides an interdisciplinary survey of the many strands of research in the field. Addresses specific areas including interpretations of territorial structures; the relationship between territoriality and scale; the validity and fluidity of territory; and the practical, social processes associated with territorial re-configurations. Stresses that our understanding of territory is inseparable from our understanding of power. Uses Israel/Palestine as an extended illustrative case study. The author’s strong legal and geographical background gives the work an authoritative perspective.
