Marine wind farms and cetaceans
Dolman, S.; Simmonds, M. &Keith, S.

IWC
N/A
The development of wind farms in the marine environment is set to expand rapidly in the future as governments strive to meet greenhouse gas emission targets and renewable energy commitments. Marine wind farms constitute a new development and one for which the associated environmental impacts remain largely unexplored. Areas of particular concern, including those related to development within important cetacean habitat, are discussed. It is our contention that marine wind farms should not be developed without due consideration being given to possible environmental consequences and that this should be done via appropriate environmental impact assessments.

Assessment and costs of potential engineering solutions for the mitigation of the impacts of underwater noise arising from the construction of offshore windfarms
Nehls, G

BioConsult SH & COWRIE Ltd.
N/A
This reports reviews the possibilities to mitigate the noise arising from pile driving for the construction of offshore windfarms. It analyses mitigation measures which have been applied in related projects and assesses their applicability to offshore pile driving. Based on this, suggestions for new mitigation measures are made. The report identifies two methods which are promising to be both applicable and effective in reducing underwater noise arising from offshore pile driving. Both methods are considered to be generally compatible to the working processes at sea. Although further engineering work would be needed, they could be brought into practice within a few months.

N/A
During summer 2008, 92 monopile foundations of 3.9 m diameter were rammed into the seabed of the Danish North Sea west of Esbjerg to construct the offshore wind farm Horns Rev II. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatial and temporal scale of the effects of underwater noise from pile driving on harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). Using passive acoustic monitoring devices (T-PODs) to record porpoise echolocation clicks, we found a clear impact of pile driving activities during construction of the wind farm on porpoise acoustic activity.

Protected Areas as Tools for Disaster Risk Reduction. A handbook for practitioners
Dudley, N. et al.
2015
MOEJ and IUCN
N/A
Globally, disasters due to natural hazards such as storms, flooding, drought, earthquakes and ocean surge extract an enormous toll in terms of human lives, destruction to crops and livelihoods, and economic losses. The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) estimates that between 2000 and 2012, some 1.2 million people died as a result of disasters; 2.9 billion people were affected and disaster-related damage cost around US$1.7 trillion. Even in a world where wars seem to affect almost every continent, more people are affected by disasters than by conflict.

Ecosystem Approach to Disaster Risk Reduction
Gupta, K. & Nair, S.

National Institute of Disaster Management
N/A
After decades of neglect, the importance of protecting and improving ecosystems for reducing disaster risk started receiving attention in the recent years. Until now the term ‘ecosystem’ and ‘ecosystem services’ were primary been dealt by biologist only. Human activity poses significant impact on the biodiversity of world ecosystems, reducing both their resilience and capacity. Humanity is, therefore, all set to experience the impact of ecosystem devastations in the form of increasing climate vulnerability and risk of hydro-meteorological disasters.

N/A
While governments around the world continue to debate about policies and practices to address climate change solutions, they pay little attention to the situation of indigenous peoples who are among those most affected by climate change on the ground. Thus indigenous peoples are compelled to act and respond immediately to climate change impacts to reduce or minimize risk on their livelihoods. However, they still have very limited access to information and government facilities in terms of financial or technological support at the national and local levels.

N/A
This manual provides guidance to communities and local government agencies on the occurrence, assessment and mitigation of road construction-induced landslides and erosion. By better understanding the interaction between human activity and natural phenomena we are better able to find solutions and increase our coping capacities to face threats. In Nepal, the number of rural roads has quadrupled over the past two decades as many communities are prioritizing access to markets, health care and education. We know that haphazard rural road construction in Nepal is one of the leading causes of slope instabilities and severe erosion, leading to the destruction of agricultural land, loss of lives and property.

N/A
The USAID Global Climate Change Office is pleased to release this framework for understanding and addressing the risks of climate change for development. This framework updates the approach presented in 2007 in USAID’s Adapting to Climate Variability and Change: A Guidance Manual for Development Planning. This framework promotes a “development-first” approach, helping to achieve development goals despite climate change. It walks readers through a process of understanding development goals in a given country or community, the inputs and conditions necessary to achieve those goals, and the stresses – climate and non-climate – that can impede progress toward those goals, in order to then identify priority adaptation measures.

Environmental issue report
N/A
The Arctic's unique nature is still relatively undisturbed. However, it is under increasing threat from pollution, climate change and unsustainable development. The peoples of the industrialised countries outside of the Arctic are the primary beneficiaries of Arctic resources. These same countries, including those in the EU, are a major source of pollution and other problems in the Arctic region. Indigenous peoples have lived in the Arctic and utilised its resources in a sustainable manner for millennia. Today they receive a relatively small share of the benefits of its exploitation, yet incur the greatest negative effects.

BioScience
N/A
Two phrases - biological integrity and biological diversity - have joined the lexicon of biologists and natural resource managers during the past two decades. The importance of these phrases is demonstrated by their influence on environmental research, regulatory, and policy agendas. The concepts behind the phrases are central to strategies being developed to sustain global resources (Lubchenco et al. 1991). Unfortunately, the phrases are widely used by the media, citizens, policy makers, and some biologists without adequate attention to the concepts they embody

Biodiversity offers multiple opportunities for development and improving human well-being. It is the basis for essential environmental services upon which life on Earth depends. Thus, its conservation and sustainable use are of critical importance. The opportunities and challenges associated with biodiversity typically apply over large geographical extents, although one or two issues may be more important at any given location.

Effects of urban wastewater on crab and mollusc assemblages in equatorial and subtropical mangroves of East Africa
Cannicci, S. et al
2009
Elsevier Ltd.
N/A
Mangrove forests are known to accomplish crucial ecosystem functions and services. They are nursery areas for fish, prawns and crabs, which provide coastal communities with a variety of food, timber and chemicals, and protect coasts from catastrophic events, such as tsunamis. Recently, a novel ecological service has been proposed for mangrove systems, namely natural wastewater treatment wetlands. This hypothesis was based on experimental data collected mainly in Chinese mangrove systems, which proved that mangrove soils were efficient in absorbing nutrients. Moreover, sewage loading seemed harmless to both plants and benthic communities in these systems.

Amphibian road kills: a global perspective
Puky, M.
2006
North Carolina State University
N/A
Transportation infrastructure is a major factor determining land use forms. As global changes in this factor are the most important for biodiversity, roads fundamentally influence wildlife. The effect of roads on wildlife has been categorized in several ways resulting in six to ten categories with road kill as an obvious and important component, and amphibians are greatly affected by this factor. As this animal group has been documented to decline from multiple threats worldwide, the study and mitigation of their deaths on roads has become an important conservation priority.

Section 118 of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) of 1961 requires that every USAID country development strategy statement or country plan include an analysis of: “1) the actions necessary in that country to achieve conservation and sustainable management of tropical forests; and 2) the extent to which the actions proposed by the agency meet the needs thus identified.” Section 119 dictates that every country strategic plan developed by USAID shall include: “1) the actions necessary in that country to conserve biological diversity; and 2) the extent to which the actions proposed for support by the agency meet the needs thus identified.” Hence, the use of the 118/119 report to assist the development of country level plans.
