International cooperation in capacity building, and access to and transfer of environmentally sound technologies to support sustainable forest management

It could also provide the means for capacity building and transfer of environmentally sound technologies for sustainable forest management

The issue of financing sustainable forest management has been extensively addressed by the Forum and its ad hoc expert group on financing and transfer of environmentally sound technologies.

The potential of youth to contribute to environmentally sound lifestyle choices and solutions is significant.

The report of the Ad Hoc Expert Group on Finance and Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies provides a more in depth analysis of financial constraints impeding sustainable forest management, as well as a number of recommendations for addressing them.

Governance

The objective is to review policy instruments for stimulating the diffusion of ESTs and promoting environmentally sound technological development.

Global governance

Disincentives for sustainable forest management. The Ad Hoc Expert Group on Finance and Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies also noted that the achievement of sustainable forest management can be greatly hindered by policies established outside the forest sector.

Restoring proper management of natural resources

Countries identify finance, the transfer of environmentally sound technologies and capacity building as a priority area for further action.

This service module also provides for the application of a UNIDO developed methodology for the transfer of ESTs at pilot enterprises.

One project is currently being implemented in this field under the title of The Determinants of Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs) Utilization in Selected Developing Countries .

All Centre activities include a capacity building component, with special emphasis on sustainability and on the environmentally sound applications of biotechnology.

(c) Access to and transfer of environmentally sound technologies on a concessional or preferential basis, as mutually agreed

(b) The United States of America Promoting good governance and combating corruption

The Ad Hoc Expert Group on Finance and Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies met at Geneva from 15 to 19 December 2003.

Capacity building encompasses enabling policies and incentives, appropriate legislation and regulation, effective enforcement, adequate information and sufficient human resources, in addition to environmentally sound technologies.

A greater distribution of the means of production, environmentally sound supply chains, and a newly relevant DIY maker culture can hope to transcend artificial scarcity.

(b) Promoting and facilitating, as appropriate, access to and the development, transfer and diffusion of technologies, including environmentally sound technologies and corresponding know how, to developing countries

In the first sentence of operative paragraph 5, replace the words good governance with the words proper management of public affairs and public property .

(b) To promote and facilitate, as appropriate, access to, and development, transfer and diffusion of, technologies, including environmentally sound technologies and the corresponding know how, to developing countries

Therefore, the transfer of ESTs is required to improve the water quality of the large river systems in the region as well as the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea.

This depends on securing political commitment and requires that more emphasis be placed on the means of implementation (finance, transfer of environmentally sound technologies and capacity building)

Under this service module UNIDO will address the challenges arising from persistent organic pollutants (POPs), as well as promoting cleaner production (CP) methods and the transfer of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs).

Evaluation of a strategy for environmentally sound management of hazardous and other wastes, such as lead acid batteries and biomedical and health care wastes, for impacts on the marine environment

He stressed that it was the responsibility of Governments to define good governance norms.

7. Urges developed countries to facilitate the transfer of environmentally sound biotechnology for the effective implementation of the Cartagena Protocol, in accordance with relevant articles of the Convention and the Protocol

Governance is an important issue that needs to be addressed at the national, regional and global levels in pursuing the sound management of chemicals

(a) Further recognizing the contribution to be made by the sound management of chemicals to sustainable development

Considerable efforts have been made by the Government, thanks to good political and economic governance.

6. Calls upon Governments to take further action to mobilize the provision of financial resources, technology transfer, capacity building and the diffusion of environmentally sound technologies, as set out in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation

Promote, facilitate and finance, as appropriate, access to and the development of technologies, including environmentally sound technologies and corresponding know how, and their transfer and diffusion to developing countries

(a) Providing adequate means of implementation, including secured and predictable financial resources, project financing, capacity building and access to environmentally sound technologies

The Ad Hoc Expert Group on Finance and Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies discussed important dimensions of financing, including the role and status of official development assistance (ODA) and the effectiveness of existing international financing.

Partnerships between governments and foreign investors are at the core of the sound management of natural resources.

As emphasized in the Monterrey Consensus, good governance is essential for sustainable development.

Effective gender mainstreaming should result in development that both enhances gender equality and removes gender related impediments to social, economic, and environmentally sound development.

In addition, it is made clear that, in particular in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, there is a continuing priority need to address issues of capacity building and the transfer of environmentally sound technologies.

Developed countries, however, also face capacity issues in striving to meet this goal

Promoting measures for revitalizing drylands agricultural sectors based on good local governance for sustainable agricultural farming systems.

Preparation of technical guidelines on the environmentally sound management of wastes resulting from surface treatment of metals and plastics (Y17)

(c) Tthe environmentally sound management of wastes consisting of, containing or contaminated with hHexachlorobenzene

Noting that none of the Millennium Development Goals would be achieved without the sound management of chemicals, he welcomed the resolve shown by Governments at the summit to promote the sound management of chemicals in accordance with Agenda 21 and the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development.

The link between environmentally sustainable water management and poverty reduction is critical and must be prioritized to ensure that appropriate action is taken.
