Divided into three sections, this book explores the three main
pillars of sustainable development, namely economy, environment and
society, and their interlinkages at the regional level. The first
section, Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) for sustainable
development, focuses on international agreements and national
legislation, as well as the challenges in implementing ABS in e.g.
India. In turn, the second section examines the process of forming
Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) at the Local Self
Government (LSG) level to promote environmental sustainability,
highlighting local and community-level conservation initiatives
that have led to the conservation of habitats and species. The
third section addresses poverty eradication and food security. The
case studies included demonstrate how the combination of
traditional knowledge and modern techniques can enhance the
productivity of traditional crop varieties, yielding greater
benefits for communities. The aim of this volume is to disseminate
the lessons learned from these case studies, as well as the
findings from projects already in place, which can offer
recommendations that can be applied to similar problems elsewhere
in an attempt to find environmental solutions for sustainable
development. Further, it introduces readers to new approaches to
inclusive development, demonstrating that participation and grass
root empowerment are key drivers of equitable and sustainable
development.
