    Las Directrices Voluntarias sobre la Gobernanza responsable de la tenencia de la tierra, la pesca y los bosques –pese a las críticas por su carácter transaccional y no vinculante– se constituyen en una importante herramienta que orienta y genera información sobre las prácticas internacionalmente aceptadas para los sistemas que regulan los derechos de uso, gestión y control de la tierra, la pesca y los bosques.

    The livelihoods of communities in rural
    areas of Peru are predominantly dependent on
    climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture. Given their
    close connection with the environment, the understanding of
    how these communities perceive risks and how they adapt to
    and cope with climate hazards is important for identifying
    entry points for efforts aimed at building resilience. In
    this context, it is assumed that the successful use of

    Estimating the potential costs of
    climate destabilization is not a trivial matter. Potential
    climate impacts have multiple consequences, some of which
    can be monetized while others are beyond the reach of
    standard economic tools. A full assessment of the
    implications of climate impacts often cannot be completed
    because many of the consequences are only partly known. This
    report summarizes data recently made available, through the

    Argentina has expanded the use of its
    portion of the Parana-Paraguay waterways system for the
    transportation of soy and other bulk commodities through an
    innovative tolling system that self-finances the dredging
    and maintenance of the rivers. Brazil, in turn, is pursuing
    a 'green trucking' strategy to improve efficiency
    of its cargo haulage industry, reduce petroleum usage, and
    curb pollution from trucking. For the entire hemisphere, the

    Agricultural growth rates in the Latin
    America and the Caribbean (LAC) region have been much slower
    than the rest of the developing world. In the regions of
    East Asia, South Asia and Middle East and North Africa, the
    annual growth of agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
    in 1980-2004 exceeded 3 percent, while growth in Sub-
    Saharan Africa averaged almost 3 percent. This paper
    attempts to present an overview of the agricultural sector

    This documented case of climate change
    adaptation in Campeche Mexico grapples with a problem that
    is fundamental to addressing climate change risks in areas
    of high vulnerability, which is how to reach consensus and
    take decisions under an uncertain future. The state of
    Campeche in Mexico, is used as an example. With its long
    coastline, Campeche is highly vulnerable to current and
    projected future climate threats. Two different approaches

    This study, policy and investment
    priorities to reduce environmental degradation of the Lake
    Nicaragua watershed, has assessed the sources and the
    magnitude of the pressures that threaten Lake Cocibolca. It
    was accomplished by applying a hydrological and land use
    model to the lake's watershed and by conducting
    additional estimates of nutrients generated from wastewater
    sources and tilapia farming. The study has confirmed that
