Plans for COP21 in Paris - December 2015. Un message de Campaign against Climate Change (Campagne Contre le Changement Climatique) Nous arrivons à une croisée des chemins pour le climat. A travers le monde, de nombreux activistes ont commencé à se mobiliser autour de l’idée d’un “Seattle pour le climat”- un événement qui pourrait lancer un mouvement climatique mondial de la même manière que les manifestations à Seattle en décembre 1999 avaient déclenché une nouvelle résistance à travers le monde.
Mais comment parvenir à un tel but? Une idée nous est venue. La COP (conference of parties – les négociations des nations unies sur le changement climatique) qui se tiendra à Paris en décembre 2015 est censée donner lieu à un accord mondial en termes de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Mais, le dernier jour des négociations, les chefs d’état des Etats-Unis, de Chine, d’Afrique du Sud, du Brésil et d’Inde ont présenté un accord bien pire que celui déjà existant.
Nous avons une idée sur comment nous organiser pour cela. COP 21 Paris France Sustainable Innovation Forum 2015 working with UNEP. Event: UNFCCC COP 21. COP21 Paris Archives - La ONU y el cambio climático. WWAP. El Programa Mundial de Evaluación de los Recursos Hídricos de las Naciones Unidas, auspiciado y dirigido por la UNESCO, coordina la labor de 28 entidades asociadas y miembros de ONU-Agua en el Informe sobre el desarrollo de los recursos hídricos en el mundo (WWDR, por sus siglas en inglés).
El principal informe de ONU-Agua es una reseña trienal que ofrece una visión fiable del estado, el uso y la gestión de los recursos de agua dulce del planeta. Además de coordinar este importante informe de la ONU, el WWAP supervisa las cuestiones relacionadas con el agua dulce para proporcionar recomendaciones, desarrollar estudios de casos, reforzar la capacidad de evaluación a escala nacional e informar sobre el amplio proceso de toma de decisiones en materia hídrica.

It is a condition for all life on our planet, an enabling or limiting factor for any social and technological development, a possible source of welfare or misery, cooperation or conflict.
To achieve water security, we must protect vulnerable water systems, mitigate the impacts of water-related hazards such as floods and droughts, safeguard access to water functions and services and manage water resources in an integrated and equitable manner. UNESCO works to build the scientific knowledge base to help countries manage their water resources in a sustainable way through the International Hydrological Programme (IHP), through leading the UN-wide World Water Development Report, through the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education in Delft in the Netherlands, through over 20 affiliated research centres on water around the world and through a series of water-related Chairs. - The World's Water.

At present, already 53 out of the 147 country profiles available have such section included, which can be easily accessed through a dropdown menu from the "Water and gender" page. 30/11/2016 - Updated country profiles, maps and water and irrigation data are now available for an additional seven countries in Africa: Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and United Republic of Tanzania. 10/11/2016 - To provide a quick overview of global, continental and regional values of some key variables and indicators, four summary tables showing global, continental and regional data on population, water resources, water use and irrigation have been updated. 10/08/2016 - To be able to enhance the service we provide to you, we would appreciate you taking 5 minutes of your time to respond to a quick AQUASTAT user survey. 15/12/2014 - A new "Did you know…?

WWF has already played a unique role in conserving the Amazon over the past 40 years, developing scientific knowledge, experience, and key partnerships with local,regional, and international players. We have invested more than US$30 million in conservation in the region since 2001 and are working with the government of Brazil and other partners on the Amazon Region Protected Areas Programme (ARPA), which has already helped create more than 20 million hectares of protected areas since 2002. Building on this solid foundation, in 2007 we launched a ten-year Amazon Initiative to vastly scale up our efforts. Sufficient forest cover will also maintain regional rainfall and build resilience to climate change, ensuring a healthy Amazon that will continue to regulate both the regional and global climate.

Global climate change is a matter of intense concern and public importance. There can be little doubt that human beings influence the world's climate. At the same time, our knowledge of the extent, progress, mechanisms and results of global climate change is still incomplete. New data are becoming available every day - from tree rings to deep sea samples, ice cores, glacial changes and climatological models - while the greatest minds all over the world are working to better understand climate change and its impact on life on earth. Scientific understanding emerges through full consideration of relevant data, appropriate debate and the application of the scientific method.
Thus, we urge all scientists and members of the public to engage in the global climate change discussion, including AccuWeather.com's experts. We encourage our scientists to express their personal views without the constraint of a corporate position they must follow. Disclaimer. Marc Gunther.

Highlights Montevideo Programme IV Mid-Term Review Previous Highlights >> Evidence. The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives. Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal. The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years.1 Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale.

Additional tools Human well-being is dependent upon "ecosystem services" provided by nature for free. Such services include water provision, air purification, fisheries, timber production and nutrient cycling to name a few. These are predominantly public goods with no markets and no prices, so their loss often is not detected by our current economic incentive system and can thus continues unabated.
A variety of pressures resulting from population growth, changing diets, urbanisation, climate change and many other factors is causing biodiversity to decline. As a result, ecosystems are continuously being degraded. The world’s poor are most at risk from the continuing loss of biodiversity, as they are the ones that are most reliant on the ecosystem services that are being degraded. The TEEB initiative was launched in response to a proposal by the G8+5 Environment Ministers (Potsdam, Germany 2007) to develop a global study on the economics of biodiversity loss.
