    Target 1.4 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seeks to ensure that “all men and women, particularly the poor and vulnerable, have equal rights … to ownership and control over land and other forms of property.”

    This target’s inclusion under SDG Goal 1, on “ending poverty in all its forms,” signifies a new global recognition that secure land tenure should be a central strategy in combating poverty. However, this land agenda has not been prominent in recent SDG reporting processes of governments.

    The impact of land use changes on sustainable development is of increasing interest in many regions of the world. This study aimed to test the transferability of the Framework for Participatory Impact Assessment (FoPIA), which was originally developed in the European context, to developing countries, in which lack of data often prevents the use of data-driven impact assessment methods. The core aspect of FoPIA is the stakeholder-based assessment of alternative land use scenarios.

    这些技术准则是对粮农组织《负责任渔业行为守则》(《守则》)的 补充。《守则》以及许多国际协定和会议均通过渔业生态系统方法和水产 养殖生态系统方法中所阐述的原则和概念,强调了采用此类方法的好处及 必要性。本准则的目的是协助各国,特别是在涉及大量利用自然资源的 情况下,以可持续的方式发展水产养殖业,争取在保护后代所需资源基础 的前提下,创造最大的社会和经济效益。过去十年来,人们不断认识到以 捕捞为基础的水产养殖(CBA)对野生资源的严重依赖及其对野生种群的 影响。这些准则专注于野生苗种采集给包括受威胁物种在内的主捕和非主 捕(兼捕)物种、生物多样性和环境及海洋生态系统造成的实际和潜在影 响。本准则还论述了捕获和采集后规范、养成、饲料和亲体、社会经济因 素和治理等问题。这套技术准则确定了CBA的原则和良好规范准则,提供 了大量有关不同品种和渔业的说明性案例研究。

    The initial Asia-Pacific Forestry Sector Outlook Study (APFSOS) drew together the myriad forestry dimensions to provide a coherent description and analysis of the situation and prospects for forestry in the region. The study resulted in 50 working papers on a variety of forestry themes. The formal aspects of the study culminated in a comprehensive main report, published in November 1998. APFSOS provided an important roadmap for forestry sector development in the Asia-Pacific region to 2010, which is still being used to guide policy makers in the region today.
