The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) is an appraisal system developed by FAO providing estimates of the impact of agriculture and forestry development projects, programmes and policies on the carbon-balance. The carbon-balance is defined as the net balance from all greenhouse gases (GHGs) expressed in CO2 equivalent that were emitted or sequestered due to project implementation as compared to a business-as-usual scenario.

Fisheries, including aquaculture, provide a vital source of food, employment, recreation, trade and economic well being for people throughout the world, both for present and future generations and should therefore be conducted in a responsible manner. This Code sets out principles and international standards of behaviour for responsible practices with a view to ensuring the effective conservation, management and development of living aquatic resources.

This brief provides information on what is a sustainable Food System, why to take a Food System approach , how is the Food System structured, what is sustainable Food System development, theory of change and development paradigm and at last it provides practical implications for FAO’s work.

This first handbook provides a solid conceptual foundation on which to build the subsequent handbooks. It (1) clearly defines the concept of a sustainable food value chain; (2) presents and discusses a development paradigm that integrates the multidimensional concepts of sustainability and value added; (3) presents, discusses and illustrates ten principles that underlie SFVCD; and (4) discusses the potential and limitations of using the value-chain concept in food-systems development.

South Africa occupies a central position in the global debate regarding the most effective policy instruments to accelerate and sustain private investment in renewable energy. In 2009, the government began exploring feed-in tariffs (FITs) for renewable energy, but these were later rejected in favor of competitive tenders. The resulting program, is now known as the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP).

This book explores the origin and meaning of the principle of equality, considers the economic implications of the ideal, and provides a brief historical overview of liberal democracy and economic inequality since the American and French revolutions. The book then highlights the principles in the Earth Charter that have been designed to frame the intensifying debate on these critical issues and guide change.

The book is intended to offer readers an integral perspective about strategies to change consumer behavior and promote sustainable consumption. It combines theories, concepts, and methodologies from a variety of disciplines to facilitate the conception and design process of sustainable products, services, processes, strategies and consumption patterns, from start to finish.

Inculcating children and youth in environmental education is an important and effective strategy to address environmental and climate challenges facing the world because they constitute a large proportion of the people. This also creates an opportunity to intervene at a key developmental stage of life and children can be an important influence on the environmental behavior of their parents.

This manual is designed to assist students to start and maintain a successful environmental club. It suggests many activities that clubs can pursue and where to go for help. It encourages students to study the local environment and to contribute to solving environmental problems. In so doing, students will be playing an important role in Environmental Education for Sustainable Development (EESD).

The general objective of this document is that it could be a tool for State entities to incorporate sustainability in their purchasing processes, through the application of sustainable criteria.

The document contains the following information:
• The goods and services that could integrate sustainability criteria
• The criteria and verifiers that can be applied in the purchase processes (ChileCompra Express Store, Tenders and Direct Deals) for the recommended goods and services.
• The environmental and economic benefits derived from the purchase of goods and services with sustainability criteria.
• Data on the availability of goods and services with sustainable criteria in the Chilean market.

This is the printout version of the online tool based on the United Nations Guidelines for Providing Product Sustainability Information.

The main objective of this tool is to offer an opportunity for organizations to self-assess and improve the way they are communicating with consumers about product sustainability (through marketing claims, labels, voluntary standards, product declarations, etc.). This tool also serves as a benchmarking tool to organizations that are currently developing new product sustainability information.

Please note that feedback will not be provided, as the objective of this tool is for you to promote a reflection process within your own organisation and teams, gaining insights and ideas on how to improve your current work.

Circularity supports the move from linear to circular systems where more efficient,
zero waste systems are created by closing material inputs and loops. The design, maintenance,
manufacturing and use ensure virgin materials are no longer needed for day to day living. For
the built environment sector, building materials and its use underpins the trajectory of circularity
in the sector.

International pressures through global agreements such as the recent Paris agreement in
2015 have put stress on governments and industries to find lasting solutions for the built environment. The built environment was recognized as an important factor in reducing global emissions for the first time at the Conference of Parties (COP) 21 meeting in Paris through a dedicated ‘Buildings Day.’
