TRAINING MANUAL - Integrating data to improve the protection and restoration

20 Oct 2021

TRAINING MANUAL Integrating data to improve the protection and restoration of freshwater ecosystems YEARS This project is being jointly implemented by the Global Water Partnership and Cap-Net, with the support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and under the guidance of UNEP-DHI. [...] The training manual is designed to raise awareness and capacity of decision makers, managers and practitioners in protection and restoration of freshwater ecosystems through enhanced understanding of the role, value and importance of protecting and/or restoring freshwater ecosystems, understanding of actions and management solutions, and on the use and application of data. [...] States are made up of variables that describe the whole of the social- ecological system, including the attributes of the ecosystem service beneficiaries and the attributes of the ecosystem service providers. [...] Initiated in 2001, the objective of the MA was to assess the consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being and the scientific basis for action needed to enhance the conservation and sustainable use of those systems (including freshwater systems) and their contribution to human well-being. [...] In those cases, it can be useful to look for existing estimates, in relatively similar contexts, of the value of ecosystems services, and use those as references to illustrate the potential value of the services and inform and enhance the dialogue around the protection and restoration of freshwater ecosystems.2 Box 1.2: Examples of valuations at different scales At the global level, for example, C.
