As the development of Liberia’s natural wealth intensifies, a coherent set of policies that address questions of persistent gender inequality, sustainable rural livelihoods and long-term security of access to natural resources is needed. The capacity of rural women to maintain the local food economy must be preserved and enhanced, as must their ability to make informed decisions regarding the sustainable exploitation of natural resources.

Argues that sustainable development in 21st century South Africa will never be achieved without a radical assault on the structural underpinnings of poverty and inequality inherited from 3 centuries of oppression and exploitation. A large-scale redistribution of land and resources, accompanied by the securing of tenure rights in practice as well as in law, is required for long-term sustainability. Asks how is the government’s land reform performing, and how sustainable are land-based livelihoods?

Examines recent progress on developing indicators to measure land rights as part of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2016. Argues that the current proposed indicators are too narrow and that a more appropriate indicator, which has achieved a high level of consensus, should be adopted by the UN. This would directly measure the land rights of women and men as well as indigenous peoples and local communities. It would also cover a range of land, property and natural resources rather than simply agricultural land and would focus on secure rights rather than ownership.

The LANDac Conference 2018 looked at land governance through the lens of mobility. Land acquisitions trigger migration and yield other types of mobility such as capital, goods and ideas. Ensuing land claims raise new questions for land governance. So far, the discussion has focused on respecting land rights, informing local residents and offering fair compensation. The conference explored the question: Given the variety of mobility, what are good ways forward in land governance?

With the establishment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, the Human Development Forum at Tudor Rose has expanded its publishing operation with the creation of a series of volumes entitled A Better World, each dedicated to one or more of the 17 SDGs. This volume, published in September 2018, covers Goal 15: Life on Land, and particularly Goal 15.3, which aims to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality
(LDN) globally by 2030.

La actual variabilidad climática advierte que la escasez del recurso hídrico puede intensificarse en aquellas zonas donde existe presión ya sea por déficit o por la competencia en el uso del recurso, debido a esto cada vez es más indispensable el desarrollo de proyectos encaminados a la conservación del agua.

El trabajo analiza la situación de conflicto que se presenta en las tierras secas de Mendoza, entre productores caprinos y programas de lucha contra la desertificación, a propósito de las prácticas productivas y el uso de los recursos naturales.Se aborda un caso de estudio situado en el extremo noreste de la provincia de Mendoza, polo hiperárido de la región, gravemente afectado por procesos de desertificación, con una extensión de 10.007km2 y poblado por 3015 habitantes, donde dominan las pequeñas explotaciones caprinas.

En una de las regiones más diversas del Ecuador, la Región Amazónica específicamente en las provincias de Orellana y Pastaza, se encuentra una de las áreas protegidas más significativas del país, el Parque Nacional Yasuní (PNY) declarado como tal en julio de 1979. Diez años más tarde, la importancia de esta zona llegó a ser reconocida a nivel internacional, cuando en 1989 la UNESCO proclamó al parque y sus alrededores como reserva de biósfera.

Entre la salida de la cuenca del río Armería y la laguna de Cuyutlán, en el estado de Colima; en una zona relativamente pequeña de 59 km2, existen dos sistemas hidro-socioeconómicos-ambientales, interconectados entre sí por su fuente hídrica principal, el Río Armería. Con el paso del tiempo, los procesos antropogénicos, han afectado el equilibrio natural del recurso hídrico, aprovechándolo aguas arriba de la propia cuenca.

La mayoría de las familias Shuar para mejorar sus economías se dedican a la explotación maderera, dejando tierras deforestadas como resultado de esta actividad, las cuales son utilizadas especialmente para la ganadería y la producción de monocultivos. Estas acciones en conjunto provocan degradación del suelo, pérdida de biodiversidad y afectaciones a la propia comunidad, que depende de los recursos del bosque para sobrevivir.
