This study reviewed the status of natural resources and the driving forces for change, as well as past and ongoing approaches in natural resource management at the watershed scale in Ethiopia. First, we reviewed established environmental policy tools and the legal and policy framework, and determined whether innovative financing mechanisms are working in other areas with a similar context. We undertook stakeholder analyses and mapping to identify key stakeholders, and to assess their possible roles in the implementation of a sustainable financing mechanism for watershed rehabilitation.

This Atlas summarizes recent advances in interdisciplinary approaches and research to address the different components of West African urban food systems, including urban and peri-urban agriculture. It thereby draws on the results of several major collaborative research projects and stakeholder consultations conducted in West Africa over the past two decades, and in particular on the UrbanFoodPlus project in Ghana and Burkina Faso (www.urbanfoodplus.org). The publication targets with its innovative design a broad range of stakeholders.

Krošnje velikih stabala su prirodan filter za lebdeće čestice i štetne plinove u zraku. Jedno stablo iz atmosfere godišnje uklanja 150 kg CO2 i time doprinosi ublažavanju klimatskih promjena. Drveće pruža stanište, hranu i zaštitu ostalim biljkama i životinjama te time povećava bioraznolikost u urbanim sredinama. Sadnjom stabala danas utječemo na kvalitetu života budućih generacija!

Grote stadsbomen zijn uitstekende filters voor stedelijke luchtvervuiling en fijnstof. Een boom kan tot 150 kg CO2 per jaar absorberen, koolstof vastleggen en daardoor de klimaatverandering bestrijden. Bomen leveren leefomgeving, voedsel en bescherming voor planten en dieren, en verbeteren de biodiversiteit in het stedelijk gebied. Planten van bomen is essentieel voor toekomstige generaties!

Τα μεγάλα αστικά δέντρα αποτελούν φίλτρα για τους αστικούς ρύπους και τα λεπτά σωματίδια. Ένα δέντρο μπορεί να απορροφήσει έως και 150 κιλά CO 2 ετησίως, να δεσμεύσει τον άνθρακα και συνεπώς να αμβλύνει την κλιματική αλλαγή. Τα δέντρα παρέχουν ενδιαίτημα, τροφή και προστασία για τα φυτά και τα ζώα, αυξάνοντας την αστική βιοποικιλότητα. Φυτεύοντας δέντρα σήμερα είναι ουσιαστικής σημασίας για τις μελλοντικές γενιές!

Large urban trees are excellent filters for urban pollutants and fine particulates. Trees can provide food, such as fruits, nuts and leaves. Spending time near trees improves physical and mental health by increasing energy level and speed of recovery, while decreasing blood pressure and stress. Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30% and save energy used for heating by 20–50%. Trees provide habitat, food and protection to plants and animals, increasing urban biodiversity...planting trees today is essential for future generations!

Large urban trees are excellent filters for urban pollutants and fine particulates. One tree can absorb up to 150 kg of CO2 per year, sequester carbon and consequently mitigate climate change. Trees provide habitat, food and protection to plants and animals, increasing urban biodiversity. Planting trees today is essential for future generations!
