Andorra’s second NDC outlines a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050. Rwanda is the first LDC to submit its 2020 nationally determined contribution. Rwanda’s NDC presents MRV frameworks for both mitigation and adaptation to help track climate finance flows for NDC implementation. Rwanda’s submission includes sector-specific implementation plans for both adaptation interventions and mitiga...
This video was recorded and broadcast on the CCTV Music Channel in October 2005 in the early days of the Beijing Bamboo Orchestra. It features the late Tian Chang as well as talented musicians Huang Hong, Zhu Fengbo, Gong Linna, Tan Jing and others. The International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation, or INBAR, is an intergovernmental organisation dedicated to promoting the use of bamboo and rattan ...
To mark the International Day for Biodiversity 2020, the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation released this video. Bamboo and rattan, key non-timber forest roducts, can play a key role in biodiversity conservation. INBAR's IBD statement can be read here: https://www.inbar.int/idb-2020/ The International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation, or INBAR, is an intergovernmental organisation dedicat...

Rapid contemporary climate change is a potential threat to long-term persistence of montane wildlife species because they often have narrow thermal tolerances and have limited potential to shift their distributions. The Appalachian Mountain region in the eastern United States is a global biodiversity hotspot for woodland salamanders (genus Plethodon), many of which are high-elevation endemic speci...
In an open letter European forest owners and managers shared their concerns about the current situation to the representatives of the Croatian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The letter was also sent to a number of other organisations*. In the letter, the reasons why the forestry sector should be part of the EU recovery plan were clearly addressed.

Now that we are finally taking a breather from water scarcity and rationing, we are confronting increased flood risks brought by the south-west monsoon, as evidenced by the recent floods in Petaling Jaya, Penang and Kedah. Echoing Sahabat Alam Malaysia president Meenakshi Raman's call to create "sponge cities" ("Create sponge cities to prevent flash floods, says SAM", The Star, April 22), I would ...
Soil reduction caused by flooding has profound effects on species adaptation and min- eral nutrition of higher plants. Anaerobic conditions inhibit normal root respiration of higher plants. Alternate metabolic pathways may be utilized in combination with the development of anatomical characteristics that result in the internal movement of oxygen to the roots. Soil organisms use other oxidants when...
