Integrated Natural Resources Management and the GEF –
Reconciling global environmentalvalues and sustainable development
1. Combat desertification and mitigate the effects of extreme climatic events through land and natural resources management;
2. Improve access to reliable, affordable, economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sound energy
3. Develop integrated water resources management and water efficiency plans by 2005;
4. Develop and implement national/regional strategies, with regard to integrated river basin and groundwater management;
5. Develop programs for mitigating the effects of extreme water-related events, and implement an integrated multi-hazard, inclusive approach
6. Develop and implement integrated land management and water-use plans that are based on sustainable use of renewable resources and on integrated assessments of socio-economic and environmental potentials;
7. Encourage the UNFCCC, the CBD and the CCD to continue exploring and enhancing synergies
Integration requires a clear geographical context, i.e.: a system with defined boundaries. This system may vary according to the “entry point”:
• Water: a river/lake/aquifer basin, or a large marine ecosystem
• Land degradation: a productive landscape? • Biodiversity: a higher level ecosystem?• Climate change, a region sharing a common sustainable
energy resource, or a country as a whole? Given its overarching nature, climate adaptation measures and considerations may have to be introduced in each of the four above contexts.
Every integrated program of interventions will be aimed at achieving a principal objective, whose nature will depend upon the “entry point” and whose goal, in line with the MDGs and the WSSD Plan of Implementation, will be the fostering of environmentally sustainable development. In doing so, global benefits will be accrued in a cluster of focal areas, or even in all of them. A tentative/preliminary Operational Program indication will correspond to the Principal Objective.
The design of an integrated project or program will require a sufficient level of understanding of the region, of
the problems and their root causes, of the possible solutions and actions.
Hence, integrated action can only be undertaken when a Diagnostic Analysis based on solid science and around which the consensus at the inter-ministerial level in the
On the ground integration can be experimented more effectively when the stage of the implementation of stress reduction/mitigation measures has been reached, and the enabling environment is in place.
An enabling environment for stress reduction
These four pre-requisites may provide the criteria for identifying and selecting the opportunities for integration where action can be taken in the short term.Sumber: iwlearn.net/publications/.../Resoruce%20Management%20and%20GEF
Breaking focal area barriers: Possible actions
1. Merging of resources2. Increase in PDF-B funds for the design of integrated projects
and multi-project programs3. Incentives (fee premiums?) to encourage our agencies to
engage in integrated programs4. Adoption of a new set of overall “GEF strategic priorities”,
which would privilege integration5. Creation of new multi-focal operational programs (Integrated
Natural Resources Management in Hydrographic Basins, or “Energy for
Environmentally Sustainable Development in LDCs and SIDS)6. systematic dialogue among focal areas in the Secretariat and
11/5/03Convention for Protection of Caspian Environment signed inIranThe Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment ofthe Caspian Sea (Tehran Convention) was signed by theplenipotentiary representatives of the five littoral countries of thesea in Tehran on Tuesday, IRNA reported.
Iran, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan are thefive countries situated around the world's biggest lake.
According to the Tehran Convention, all Caspian Sea littoralcountries are committed to take all necessary measures,individually or collectively, to reduce and control pollution of thesea.
As a result of a first IW - GEF project, the riparian countries have agreed on a Strategic Action Programme and on a binding environmental Caspian Convention
Target 1: Increased Regional CollaborationTarget 2: Key species maintained/restored to viable levelsTarget 3: Control of alien speciesTarget 4: Implementation of regional system for protection
of marine and coastal habitatsTarget 5: Restored priority coastal habitatsTarget 6: Restored priority marine habitats (five demos)
Target 1: Strengthen enforcement and managementTarget 2: Implement regional water quality monitoringTarget 3: Adopt Protocols on LBA, Hazardous substances and
Dumping - Implement regional strategies for pollution reduction
By joining forces in SAP Implementation, the GEF Focal Areas(IW, Biodiversity, POPs, Land Degradation, Climate Change) can assist the Caspian countries to respond to the challengeof integrated natural resources management in the Caspian Basin
POPs: Stockpiles Disposal, Decontamination of sitesIW: Coastal management,
Fisheries, pollution reduction
Biodiversity: Protected areas, control of alien species, habitat restoration
Climate Change: Rural electrification - RETs as alternatives to fuel-wood
Land Degradation:Sustainable grazing,Soil Conservation demos
