In the Arab countries, climate change is a risk to poverty
reduction and economic growth, threatening to unravel many of the
development gains that have been achieved. The Arab Region is
already suffering adverse consequences from climate variability and
change. This book provides information on climate change and its
impact in the Arab Region, as well as technical guidance on climate
adaptation options for policy makers. The areas addressed include
the economic impacts of climate change (as measured by the
reduction in household income and GDP); the impacts of climate
change on the water, health, and tourism sectors; livelihoods and
well-being in rural and urban areas; biodiversity; disaster risk
management; as well as gender and other social relations. The
report is written through a participatory and collaborative
process, led by the World Bank in partnership with the League of
Arab States, incorporating both regional and international experts
on the topics.|This yearbook contains the most comprehensive update
on the current situation of indigenous peoples and the human rights
and other international processes related to indigenous peoples.
With contributions from both indigenous as well as non-indigenous
scholars and activists, The Indigenous World gives an overview of
crucial developments in 2004 that have impacted indigenous peoples
of the world. It includes region and country reports covering most
of the indigenous world and updated information on the processes
within the UN system that relate to indigenous peoples such as: The
Permanent Forum, The Draft Declaration on the Rights of the
Indigenous Peoples, and The Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights
of Indigenous Peoples. It also brings updated information on other
international processes including news from the African Commission
on Human and Peoples' Rights and the Organization of American
States. Diana Vinding is an anthropologist and project coordinator
at The International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs.
