Joint Commitment: Good Water Quality for all Tisza Countries
Uzhgorod, Ukraine - On 11 April 2011, the five Tisza River Basin countries Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine will enter a new stage in joint water management to ensure good water quality. In the course of a Ministerial Meeting held in Uzhgorod (Ukraine), a management plan will be signed that will commit the five countries to further cooperation in their efforts to protect the valuable environment of the basin. What used to be a matter of individual countries is now becoming an international endeavour.

FileInvestigations of impacts of localised stress and compounding effects of climate change on sustainability of coral reef ecosystem (Project appraisal document)
The Global Environment Objective is to fill critical gaps in our global understanding of what determines coral reef ecosystem vulnerability and resilience to a range of key stressors—from localized human stress to climate change--and to inform policies and management interventions on behalf of coral reefs and the communities that depend on them.

FileExperience Note: Coral Reef Targeted Research and Capacity Building for Management: Using Sound Science to Influence Policy and Improve Management of the World’s Coral Reefs
2008 HAS BEEN DECLARED THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE REEF—TO CELEBRATE THE BEAUTY AND IMPORTANCE OF THESE MAGNIFICENT ECOSYSTEMS AND, AT THE SAME TIME, TO CALL ATTENTION TO THE SEVERE THREATS THEY FACE FROM HUMAN ACTIVITY LEADING TO DECLINES IN THEIR HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD. THE CORAL REEF TARGETED RESEARCH AND CAPACITY BUILDING FOR MANAGEMENT (CRTR) PROGRAM IS A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP SUPPORTED BY THE GEF, THE WORLD BANK DEVELOPMENT GRANT FACILITY (DGF), THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND (UQ) AND US NATIONAL AND OCEANIC ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) TO IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS ARE RESPONDING TO GLOBAL CHANGE, WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REDUCE THEIR VULNERABILITY TO NEAR AND LONGER-TERM THREATS AND TO PUT THIS INFORMATION IN THE HANDS OF DECISION-MAKERS TO PROMOTE NEEDED ACTION. THIS NOTE DRAWS ON FINDINGS RECENTLY PUBLISHED IN SCIENCE RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON CORAL REEFS. IT SEEKS TO DEMONSTRATE THE ROLE OF RESEARCH IN BUILDING CAPACITY, CREATING AWARENESS, INFORMING THE POLICY DEBATE AND PROMOTING URGENT MANAGEMENT ACTIONS TO CREATE A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE WORLD’S CORAL REEFS.

Feed ItemThe Reefs at Risk Revisited Launch is scheduled for February 23, 2011
On February 23, 2011, the World Resources Institute and more than 25 partners will be launching Reefs at Risk Revisited, a new comprehensive analysis of the threats to coral reefs. The release will take place globally, with launch activities in Washington, D.C.; London, England; Malaysia; Australia; and other locations.
Feed ItemReefs at Risk Revisited Report
A new comprehensive analysis finds that 75 percent of the world’s coral reefs are currently threatened by local and global pressures. For the first time, the analysis includes threats from climate change, including warming seas and rising ocean acidification. The report shows that local pressures— such as overfishing, coastal development, and pollution— pose the most immediate and direct risks, threatening more than 60 percent of coral reefs today.
Feed ItemCoral Reef Habitat Map was released
The “Coral Reef Habitat Map” project is an initiative of the Ministry of the Environment, Japan in collaboration with the ReefBase project. The map was developed to provide a useful tool to conserve and manage coral reefs and related ecosystems in the Asian and Oceanian regions (i.e., North East Asia, South East Asia, Micronesia and Melanesia).
