Atlante delle emissioni di CO2

AMBIENTE

Nel bilancio globale delle emissioni di anidride carbonica per il 2009, gli sforzi di riduzione compiuti dal mondo occidentale e la crisi economica non sono bastati a compensare la crescita dell’industria cinese e delle economie emergenti:

Dare un valore alla biodiversità e ai servizi ecosistemici

La mancanza di prezzi di mercato per i servizi ecosistemici e la biodiversità significa che i benefici che otteniamo, da questi beni, spesso di natura pubblica, in genere sono trascurati o sottovalutati. Il progetto Economia degli ecosistemi e della biodiversità (TEEB) dell'Unione Europea ricorda ai responsabili politici, alle imprese e ai cittadini l'urgente necessità di prestare attenzione a questi fattori nel comportamento e nelle decisioni che adottano.

The UN Rio Conventions - The linkages between biodiversity, climate change and sustainable land management

It is now widely recognized that climate change, land degradation and biodiversity are interconnected, not only through effects of climate change on biodiversity and land management, but also through changes in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning that affect climate change. The carbon cycle and the water cycle, arguably the two most important large-scale processes for life on Earth, both depend on biodiversity – at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels and can yield feedbacks to climate change.
Maintaining and restoring healthy ecosystems plays a key role in adapting to and mitigating climate change through biodiversity conservation, sustainable use and sustainable land management and yields multiple environmental, economic and social benefits.
Ecosystem-based approaches provide an important route to sustainable action and represent a vital insurance policy against irreversible damage from climate change, whereas failure to acknowledge the relationship between climate change and biodiversity and failure to act swiftly and in an integrated manner could undermine efforts for improvements in both areas.
However, enormous pressures have been put on ecosystems to support the ever-growing demand for natural resources over recent years. Ecosystem services that are central to adaptation include goods, such as food, fodder and pharmaceutical products, and services, such as nutrient cycling and hydrological flows. (...)
