COMPLEJAS CONJUNCIONES: CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO Y REPRIMARIZACIÓN DE LAS ECONOMÍAS
Karen Mercado Andia *
Hace pocos días, como salidas de algún filme, rondaban imágenes de Chicago con temperaturas extremas de bajo cero, recordándonos, pero esta vez de manera rotunda, los comentarios cotidianos de los cambios en el clima, entre ellos: el calor esta insoportable o este frío no lo habíamos sentido nunca, las lluvias se han retrasado y no podemos empezar la sembrar, la sequía es cada vez más larga… comentarios que estación tras estación se hacen más recurrentes.

TERRITORIOS ALTO ANDINOS PASTORILES: POLÍTICAS, REDES Y ESTRATEGIAS AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO.
 
M. Sc. Carla Virginia Rodas Arano [*]
 
Las comunidades pastoriles de los Andes tienen una peculiaridad relacionada a su historia: comprenden un territorio construido a partir de una continua movilidad espacial. Este modo de construir territorio va enlazado a la relación de las comunidades con los camélidos y sus movimientos.

INTRODUCCIÓN
 
El cambio climático es una realidad concreta que afecta a la humanidad. Así lo muestran los estudios realizados desde hace varios años por organizaciones científicas,  todos ellos advierten sobre la emergencia del cambio climático y la necesidad de reducir la emisión de gases de efecto invernadero provocados principalmente por las actividades humanas.

Forest and Landscape Restoration Opportunities

Training Resources & Tools
December, 2010
Global

The Atlas of Forest Landscape Restoration Opportunities represents a first-ever global approximation of where degraded forest lands have the potential to be restored—opportunities to reduce poverty, improve food security, mitigate climate change, and protect the environment. The Atlas was produced by World Resources Institute in collaboration with the University of Maryland and the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a contribution to the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration. The maps in the atlas are presented at a resolution of 1 km.

World Bank: The Sahel and West Africa Program (SAWAP), in support of the Great Green Wall Initiative

Reports & Research
December, 2017
Africa

Sahelian Africa is significantly affected by rainfall variability. Its populations are among the poorest and most threatened by climatic changeability and land degradation, as they depend heavily on healthy ecosystems to sustain their livelihoods. Increasing pressures on food, fodder, and fuelwood have a significant impact on the environment; and frequent droughts and poorly managed land and water resources contribute to expanding soil erosion. The Great Green Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative emerged in 2007 to address climate change, land degradation, and desertification.

World Bank: Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program for Aral Sea Basin

Asia

The five Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) are among the Europe and Central Asia Region’s most vulnerable to climate change; building resilience is thus a priority for poverty reduction and shared prosperity in Central Asia. Such impacts are already being felt and are expected to intensify, with the agriculture, energy, and water sectors most at risk.

World Bank: Ningxia Desertification Control and Ecological Protection Project, China

Reports & Research

China

Desertification in arid and semiarid areas of Northwest China is a major current environmental issue for the country, caused by the interaction of a naturally dry climate, recurrent periods of prolonged droughts, anthropogenic factors over long periods of time, and specific topographic and geographic conditions. Among the anthropogenic factors are poor land management, inadequate farming techniques and over-cultivation, overgrazing and the removal of natural vegetation; misuse of water resources; and poor environmental and ecosystem management.

World Bank: Oases Ecosystems and Livelihoods Project, Tunisia

Tunisia

This project aims to improve sustainable natural resource management and promote livelihood diversification in selected Tunisian oases.


Tunisia has significant regional and social disparities, especially between the coastal and inland areas. Its oases have always been agricultural production and trade centers that link remote regions together. They cover about 41,710 hectares of the country’s area and are home to around 950,000 people.
