For WWF International Ecofys made an assessment of policies and measures in G8 plus 5 countries, with recommendations for decision makers at national and international level.
Obwohl Botswana als Beispiel funktionierender staatlicher Massnahmen zur Unterstuetzung Duerrebetroffener gilt, zeigen die Hilfsprogramme doch zahlreiche Negativwirkungen im laendlichen Raum. Eine Modifizierung der Programme ist erforderlich.
This paper examines the integration of "Blue Carbon Ecosystems" (BCEs) such as mangroves and salt marshes into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Inventory Reports (NIRs). While developing countries are increasingly including BCEs in their NDCs, reporting in NIRs remains insufficient. Only seven countries account for BCE, with mangroves being the most commonly included. Reporting among EU member states is even more scarce – with only France and Malta reporting on BCEs. The paper, aimed at policymakers and climate experts, emphasizes the need for increased knowledge transfer and further scientific research to improve BCE reporting. Veröffentlicht in Fact Sheet.
In dieser Arbeit wird die Verwendungsmoeglichkeit von Pflanzenoelen als Kraftstoff fuer Dieselmotoren, insbesondere in Hinblick auf die Anwendung dieser Technologie in den Laendern der Dritten Welt untersucht. Daher wird hier das 'On-farm-Konzept' verfolgt. Dh die gesamte Kette von der Oelsaatproduktion ueber das Oelpressen bis hin zur Verwertung des Oels erfolgt im landwirtschaftlichen Betrieb. Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt in der Durchfuehrung von Dauertests mit kaltgepresstem Rapsoel.
Es werden Daten gesammelt, um einen Ueberblick ueber die Abfallwirtschaft grosser Staedte in Entwicklungslaendern und ueber die Nutzungsmoeglichkeit in der Landwirtschaft zu erhalten.
Ensuring local support for protected areas is increasingly viewed as an important element of biodiversity conservation. This is often predicted on the provision of benefits from protected areas, and a common means of providing such benefits is ecotourism development. Ecotourism as defined by Blangy and Wood (1993) is 'responsible travel to natural areas that conserve the environment and sustains the well-being of local people'. The concept of ecotourism has received much attention in recent years due to its link with sustainable development initiatives, protected area conservation efforts, and regional and community development strategies, particularly in developing countries(Ceballos-Lascurain 1993). In many African countries, the rationale for ecotourism development is primarily economic, from both macro (national) and micro (local) levels. At the macro level, tourism is expected to promote economic growth by generating foreign exchange and increase government revenue while at the micro level, it is expected to facilitate job creation, income and revenue distribution and a balanced regional development which ultimately should improve quality of life of local residents (Sirakaya et. al., 2002). In addition, it is to provide revenue for the creation and maintenance of protected areas (Boo, 1990). Likewise since the late 1980s, tourism (ecotourism) has received considerable promotion in the economic development strategy of Ghana (Sirakaya et. al, 2002) as a response to recent adverse developments in its economy. The rationale is to diversify the economy to reduce its dependence on traditional exports of unprocessed mineral, agricultural and forest products (Teye, 2000) and to facilitate its sustainable development process.In many African countries, the rationale for ecotourism development is primarily economic, from both macro (national) and micro (local) levels.

Es wird der Ist-Zustand der Abfallwirtschaft in Aegypten - speziell in Alexandria - ermittelt. Daneben werden einleitende Versuche zur Muellkompostierung durchgefuehrt.
Introduction: In Malaysia, excessive nutrients from livestock waste management systems are currently released to the environment. Particularly, large amounts of manure from intensive pig production areas are being excreted daily and are not being fully utilised. Alternatively, the excess manure can be applied as an organic fertiliser source in neighbouring cropping systems on the small landholdings of the pig farms to improve soil fertility so that its nutrients will be available for crop uptake instead of being discharged into water streams. Thus, there is a need for better tools to analyse the present situation, to evaluate and monitor alternative livestock production systems and manure management scenarios, and to support farmers in the proper management of manure and fertiliser application. Such tools are essential to quantify, and assess nutrient fluxes, manure quality and content, manure storage and application rate to the land as well as its environmental effects. Several computer models of animal waste management systems to assist producers and authorities are now available. However, it is felt that more development is needed to adopt such models to the humid tropics and conditions of Malaysia and other developing countries in the region. Objectives: The aim is to develop a novel model to evaluate nutrient emission scenarios and the impact of livestock waste at the landscape or regional level in humid tropics. The study will link and improve existing models to evaluate emission of N to the atmosphere, and leaching of nutrients to groundwater and surface water. The simulation outputs of the models will be integrated with a GIS spatial analysis to model the distribution of nutrient emission, leaching and appropriate manure application on neighbouring crop lands and as an information and decision support tool for the relevant users.
