| Descripción: |
Climate change poses a threat to the world’s biggest freshwater wetland – the Pantanal which extends over 81,000 square miles across the borders of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Pantanal is highly valued for its biodiversity and the environmental services it provides. Wetland ecosystems, however, are amongst the world’s most threatened and the importance of this region as an ecological sanctuary has been recognised at the national and international levels. Five different MEAs are relevant to the protection and sustainable management of this wetland: the Ramsar Convention, Convention on Biological Diversity, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, World Heritage Convention and the Convention on Migratory Species. UNU-IAS and PREP have recently produced a policy report ‘Inter-linkages Approach for Wetland Management: The Case of the Pantanal Wetland’ which advocates that the Inter-linkages approach be involved in the creation of a regional management treaty for the sustainable management of the Pantanal.
The Inter-linkages approach seeks to foster better co-ordination among multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) to promote an integrated approach to environmental management and implementation at the national, regional and international levels. UNU and UNU-IAS have been pursuing this approach for several years through a series of initiatives. This side event aims to examine the inter-linkages between climate change and MEAs using the case study of the Pantanal as an example. It aims to generate dialogue between the conventions and stakeholders and propose practical steps to more effectively utilise natural synergies in the environment to lead to better-integrated, effective and efficient coordination between different MEAs. |
