A collection of good practice case studies.
UNESCO biosphere reserves are ideal places to test, evaluate and implement comprehensive climate change policies. This publication presents a selection of case studies about good practice to demonstrate what biosphere reserves are already doing in this policy field. This publication does not claim that the world’s most exciting pilot projects on climate change mitigation and adaptation can be found in biosphere reserves. It does not claim that all or most UNESCO biosphere reserves are at the forefront of climate change policy implementation.
This publication makes an entirely different statement: Climate change clearly is the dominant challenge to sustainable development, even shaking the conceptual foundations of sustainable development.
