“…In addition, maintaining forest cover in urban contexts reduces air pollution and therefore avoids mortality of about one person per year per city in the United States, and up to 7.6 people per year in New York City (Nowak, Hirabayashi, Bodine, & Greenfield, 2014). There is also evidence that reduced deforestation and degradation in mangrove plantations potentially improves soil stabilization, and attenuates the impact of tropical cyclones and typhoons along the coastal areas in South and Southeast Asia (Chow, 2018). At local scales, co-benefits between REDD+ and adaptation of local communities can potentially be substantial (Long, 2013;Morita & Matsumoto, 2018), even if often difficult to quantify, and not explicitly acknowledged (McElwee et al, 2017).…”

There is a clear need for transformative change in the land management and food production sectors to address the global land challenges of climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, combatting land degradation and desertification, and delivering food security (referred to hereafter as “land challenges”). We assess the potential for 40 practices to address these land challenges and find that: Nine options deliver medium to large benefits for all four land challenges. A further two options have no global estimates for adaptation, but have medium to large benefits for all other land challenges. Five options have large mitigation potential (>3 Gt CO2eq/year) without adverse impacts on the other land challenges. Five options have moderate mitigation potential, with no adverse impacts on the other land challenges. Sixteen practices have large adaptation potential (>25 million people benefit), without adverse side effects on other land challenges. Most practices can be applied without competing for available land. However, seven options could result in competition for land. A large number of practices do not require dedicated land, including several land management options, all value chain options, and all risk management options. Four options could greatly increase competition for land if applied at a large scale, though the impact is scale and context specific, highlighting the need for safeguards to ensure that expansion of land for mitigation does not impact natural systems and food security. A number of practices, such as increased food productivity, dietary change and reduced food loss and waste, can reduce demand for land conversion, thereby potentially freeing‐up land and creating opportunities for enhanced implementation of other practices, making them important components of portfolios of practices to address the combined land challenges.

Despite the likely negative impacts, beach nourishment is a common and frequent practice in many coastal areas.…”

Climate Change Adaptation Options for Coastal Communities and Local Governments

Extreme weather events and failure to adapt to the likely impacts of climate change are two of the most significant threats to humanity. Therefore, many local communities are preparing adaptation plans. Even so, much of what was done has not been published in the peer-reviewed literature. This means that consideration of adaptation options for local communities is limited. With the objective of assisting in the development of adaptation plans, we present 80 adaptation options suitable for coastal communities that can be applied by local governments. They are a catena of options from defend to co-exist and finally, retreat that progresses as impacts become less manageable. Options are organized according to their capacity to protect local properties and infrastructure, natural systems, food production, availability of fresh and drinking water and well-being of the local population, as these are likely to be affected by climate change. To respond to multiple threats, ‘soft’ options, such as awareness raising, planning, political articulation and financial incentives, insurance and professional skills enhancement, can be encouraged immediately at relatively low cost and are reversible. For specific threats, options emphasize change in management practices as pre-emptive measures. Key audiences for this work are communities and local governments starting to consider priority actions to respond to climate change impacts.

“…Cuando se considera la protección de los Servicios Ecosistémicos para las personas, independientemente de los servicios relevantes para el Cambio Climático y el ambiente en general; los procesos de la gestión pueden resultar a veces caros sobre todo cuando se limitan las cuotas de extracción en comparación a otros años (de moluscos, peces o madera), particularmente esto se da en los países en desarrollo donde los salarios son bajos (Chow, 2017), lo que impide muchas veces que los pobladores prefieran conservar y utilizar racionalmente.…”

“…En otros casos con el afán de generar trabajo y protección ambiental se han desarrollado proyectos de rehabilitación y restauración donde se ha seleccionado de manera equívoca tanto el sitio, la especie a sembrar y las técnicas de siembra (Thivakaran, 2017). Ha faltado una adecuada capacitación de profesionales en estrategias adaptativas de plantación, intercambio de información, capacidad de carga y por lo tanto son necesarias investigaciones adicionales para que los proyectos de manglares faciliten el desarrollo local de la zona costera (Chow, 2017). Como el bienestar socioeconómico de las comunidades es dependiente de los servicios que brindan los recursos naturales (Mehvar et al, 2018), es requerido tener una buena comprensión del potencial de los impactos del Cambio Climático y de los antropogénicos sobre los SE (Mehvar et al, 2019) facilitando la implementación de políticas protectoras, equitativas y que permitan una mejor calidad de vida a las poblaciones.…”

Manglares y sus Servicios Ecosistémicos: hacia un Desarrollo Sostenible

Los manglares se extienden a través de las zonas tropicales y sub tropicales del planeta, se han adaptado a sobrevivir a condiciones ambientales adversas por lo tanto, han desarrollado características de supervivencia únicas frente a suelos de alta salinidad, anaerobios, y a un entorno desafiante para la dispersión y propagación de semillas. Estos bosques ofrecen servicios ecosistémicos que han ido disminuyendo en los últimos años por factores principalmente antropogénicos y se prevé que el cambio climático también influirá negativamente; por lo tanto se hace necesario gestionar de manera sostenible el recurso manglar con el que aún se cuenta. En el presente trabajo se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica que recopiló información entre el período temporal 2009-2020. Se recuperaron 89 artículos científicos de buscadores académicos como Springer Link, Scielo y Dialnet. Los principales tópicos de la búsqueda contemplaron: descripción general de manglares, servicios ecosistémicos, cambio climático, áreas prioritarias de investigación, papel de educación ambiental, gestión comunitaria y perspectivas futuras. Ésta revisión no tiene el propósito de contemplar todo el estado del arte del tema en discusión, sin embargo, realiza un acercamiento a la actualidad de los manglares.
