Agir

Les projets de terrain de l’UICN dans le monde entier améliorent la gestion de ressources naturelles telles que les forêts, les fleuves, les mangroves et les récifs coralliens.

Une bonne gestion de la nature permet de réduire les émissions et de stocker le carbone. Elle sauvegarde aussi la biodiversité et permet aux écosystèmes d’assurer les services dont dépendent les populations humaines, en particulier les plus pauvres et les plus vulnérables, leur permettant de s’adapter aux effets du changement climatique.

Water and nature initiative (WANI)

River basins and coasts, and their ecosystems, are natural infrastructure for coping with climate change impacts. They provide water storage, flood control and coastal defence. The IUCN Water and Nature Initiative (WANI) promotes the maintenance of ecosystems as infrastructure that reduce vulnerability to floods, droughts and storms, under water governance that empowers water users in decision making. Learn more
