متن کاملNON-MARKET-BASED APPROACHES JOINT MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION APPROACH FOR THE INTEGRAL AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF FORESTS-JMA Submission by the Plurinational State of Bolivia
The JMA will foster achieving sustainable development pathways with lower carbon emissions in the forestry sector and ecosystems; which means that joint mitigation and adaptation outcomes to climate change are reached as a result of the support and strengthening of the sustainable management of the forests, and therefore mitigation and adaptation cannot be considered as ends by themselves but m...
متن کاملIntegrated strategies to reduce vulnerability and advance adaptation , mitigation , and sustainable development
Determinants of adaptive and mitigative capacities (e.g., availability of technological options, and access to economic resources, social capital and human capital) largely overlap. Several factors underlying or related to these determinants are themselves indicators of sustainable development (e.g., per capita income; and various public health, education and research indices). Moreover, climat...
