Integrating gender considerations in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans - Pilot project process and initial considerations

Climate Change Resilience

IUCN

There are opportunities to capture more experience from initiatives at the local level, which can support objectives of the NBSAP and strengthen national reporting. Further research on gender and biodiversity can usefully build on the knowledge base on gender and environment themes, and gender and climate change in particular. Research and sharing of experience are also needed to promote and strengthen understanding and awareness of the relevance of gender to biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in the nation context.

Survey of reef invertebrate resources in the Republic of Nauru: May 2015

The people of Nauru are highly dependent on coastal resources for their food security, which has resulted in many invertebrate species being overharvested. Their decline is exacerbated by a lack of regulations to manage and control the impact of fishing. Local residents expressed the need for a status assessment and a request was made to the Pacific Community (SPC) to provide technical assistance. This report presents the findings of the resulting assessment, conducted in the Republic of Nauru in May 2015. The main objective of the work was to assess the population abundance and size structure of several key species, including turban snails (Turbo setosus and T. argyrostomus), belligerent rock shell (Reishia armigera), spiny rock lobster (Panulirus penicillatus) and species of interest to foreign markets, in particular sea cucumbers. Six survey methods were applied to suit the different coastal habitats of Nauru. These were reef benthos transects, reef front timed walks at night, manta tow, reef front timed swims in the daytime, lobster night searches (reef front timed swims at night) and deep-water timed scuba searches. Where possible, information from this assessment was compared with that collected during the PROCFish survey in 2005, to explore changes in resource status over time.

Biosphere Reserves - inspiring action for Agenda 2030

GIZ

The earth's crust and atmosphere form the biosphere, which is capable of supporting life. Biosphere reserves are there to protect the environment and the organisms living in it in certain areas. This is achieved by safeguarding biodiversity and developing sustainable forms of using land and natural resources, to the mutual benefit of humans and nature.

Local Action for the Global Goals: Promoting innovative conservation and development solutions

Climate Change Resilience

UNEP

Indigenous peoples and local communities often depend on natural resources and biodiversity to meet their subsistence needs and sustain their livelihoods. They have demonstrated their ability to be highly effective natural resource managers under the right conditions, but are also vulnerable to environmental degradation and climate change.

National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans: Natural Catalysts for Accelerating Action on Sustainable Development Goals

UNEP

In 2010, the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) agreed to an ambitious set of 20 targets, called the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, as part of their commitment to the CBD Strategic Plan. One of the Targets (target 17) called for each country to revise its National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plan (NBSAP) in accordance with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. From 2010 to November 2016, virtually all countries have revised, or are currently completing the revision of, their NBSAP.

Review of mainstreaming of climate change into national plans and policies : Tuvalu, November 2013

Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

SPC

The purpose of this report is to summarise a review of the degree to which climate change has so far been mainstreamed in national strategic plans, policies and budgets, and in a sectoral case study (presented in Annex 1) the extent to which mainstreaming has translated to implementation. Table 1 shows the criteria used in this review to assess the degree of mainstreaming of climate change, as well as some general remarks in relation to the reviews findings for Tuvalu.
