Environment, Livelihoods, and Local Institutions: Decentralisation in Mainland Southeast Asia [PDF]

From the World Resources Institute (2002). Environment, Livelihoods, and Local Institutions provides an overview of decentralized development planning and natural resources management in the region. The report assesses the conditions under which decentralization reforms have promoted secure rural livelihoods and sound natural resource stewardship. The authors find that even the most cautious forms of decentralization they documented led to more appropriate natural resource management decisions than before, as when local authorities increased community consultation within a framework of administrative reform. However, to provide the best chances of improved livelihood security and environmentally sustainable development, decentralization must incorporate a range of innovations.

The Global Environment Facility was established to forge international cooperation and finance actions to address four critical threats to the global environment: biodiversity loss, climate change, degradation of international waters, and ozone depletion. Launched in 1991 as an experimental facility, GEF was restructured after the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro to serve the environmental interests of people in all parts of the world. In 1994, 34 nations pledged $2 billion in support of GEF's mission; in 1998, 36 nations pledged $2.75 billion to protect the global environment and promote sustainable development. The GEF can succeed in its global environmental mission only as part of a worldwide movement toward sustainable development. GEF brings together 166 member governments, leading development institutions, the scientific community, and a wide spectrum of private sector and non-governmental organizations on behalf of a common global environmental agenda.

Greenpeace's updated Clean Energy Guide

Greenpeace has released an updated version of it's Clean Energy Guide, which ranks New Zealand's electricity companies on their contribution to climate change, both now and in the future. The updated guide encourages New Zealand consumers to switch to a cleaner electricity supplier. Switching to a cleaner electricity supplier is easy. You can make the switch simply by ringing your current power company and telling them you want to change, or online at http://www.cleanenergyguide.org.nz. The guide ranks each company that feeds into the national grid according to its current supply and future commitment to clean, renewable energy. This edition also takes into account each company's energy efficiency programmes and whether they encourage households to generate their own renewable electricity. Our last guide helped many New Zealanders switch to cleaner electricity, and helped stop Mighty River Power's Marsden B coal-fired power station.

How Green is the Latin American Left? A Look at Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia

Across Latin America, resurgent indigenous, labor and campesino movements have contributed to the rise of new governments that declare their independence from the neoliberal economic model, promise a more equitable distribution of wealth and increased state control over natural resources. But it is uncertain how far these new governments have gone to transform the ecologically unsustainable model of development that dominates the region (Daniel Denvir and Thea Riofrancos, Upsidedownworld, 3 April 2008)

International Review for Environmental Strategies (IRES)

The International Review for Environmental Strategies (IRES) is a peer-reviewed biannual journal aimed at disseminating strategically oriented environmental research to the world. Its scope is global, although it gives priority to issues of special concern to the Asia-Pacific region. Guided by the principles of timeliness and accessibility, the journal publishes original, high-quality papers that take multidisciplinary, integrated approaches to sustainable development. In doing so, it seeks to promote and facilitate dialogue between stakeholders. The papers are evaluated, considering policy relevance, uniqueness, factual basis and methodology. The journal is published in English in order to reach a broad audience; however, papers are reviewed in terms of quality and utility, rather than for language proficiency.

New Fund Uses Kyoto Protocol to Aid Poor Communities

WASHINGTON, DC, July 16, 2003 (ENS) - A new fund that will reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and at the same time use carbon finance as a development tool to benefit the least developed countries was set in motion on Tuesday. The Community Development Carbon Fund will support initiatives in fields such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and solid waste to energy conversion. The fund will provide financial support to small-scale greenhouse gas reduction projects in the least developed countries and to poor communities in developing countries. These communities will get development dollars, and participants in the fund will receive carbon emission reduction credits for reductions in carbon emissions. The World Bank created the Community Development Carbon Fund (CDCF) in collaboration with the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat and the International Emissions Trading Association.
