| Summary: | "... shows how by taking nature's benefits into account, decision makers can promote local development to ensure human well-being and economic growth and stability, while also maintaining environmental sustainability. This volume explores the potential for local development provided by an approach based on nature. We offer examples of successful implementation of this approach from across the world, highlighting the importance of local decision making in management and planning. We provide tools and practical guidance for reform, and examine what local governments can do with respect to natural resource use and management, maintaining and supporting biodiversity, local and regional urban and spatial design, as well as market-based approaches, such as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). This report is planned to be a useful advisory tool for local and regional policymakers, administrators and managers. The information in this report will also be of interest to organisations such as NGOs, regulatory bodies, permitting agencies and the judicial system."--Provided by publisher. |
