Combines ISciences Global Data Viewer software with the World resources database to generate dynamic maps, data tables, graphs, and charts that compare countries based on any of the variables of the World resources database. Also allows for export of data into spreadsheets for custom manipulation. The database provides detailed statistics on conditions and trends in the natural and human environments. Data are reported as time series. Statistics may be reported for some variables as far back as 1950 and may be projected as far forward as 2050. A subset of the files in the database first appeared in print form in World resources, 2000-2001. Also includes the CIA world factbook database. ISciences and World Resources Institute offer data updates and program upgrades at the TerraViva! web site.

“All of us who care about the future of Planet Earth must be grateful to Vandana Shiva.”—Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace A powerful new memoir published to coincide with Vandana Shiva’s 70th birthday. Vandana Shiva has been described in many ways: the “Gandhi of Grain,” “a rock star” in the battle against GMOs, and “the most powerful voice” for people of the developing world. For over four decades she has vociferously advocated for diversity, indigenous knowledge, localization, and real democracy; she has been at the forefront of seed saving, food sovereignty, and connecting the dots between the destruction of nature, the polarization of societies, and indiscriminate corporate greed. In Terra Viva, Dr. Shiva shares her most memorable campaigns, alongside some of the world’s most celebrated activists and environmentalists, all working toward a livable planet and healthier democracies. For the very first time, she also recounts the stories of her childhood in post-partition India—the influence of the Himalayan forests she roamed; her parents, who saw no difference in the education of boys and girls at a time when this was not the norm; and the Chipko movement, whose women were “the real custodians of biodiversity-related knowledge.” Throughout, Shiva’s pursuit of a unique intellectual path marrying quantum physics with science, technology, and environmental policy will captivate the reader. Terra Viva is a celebration of a remarkable life and a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges we face moving forward—including those revealed by the COVID crisis, the privatization of biotechnology, and the commodification of our biological and natural resources. “Vandana Shiva is an expert [on the dangers of globalization] whose analysis has helped us understand this situation much more deeply.”—Russell Brand “One of the world’s most prominent radical scientists.”—The Guardian

Ecosystems are - or can be - the wealth of the poor. For many living in severe poverty, there has always been a daily lifeline - an asset for those with few other material assets. This text argues that the generative power of nature can act as a fundamental stepping stone in the economic integration of the poor.

This publication offers an overview of REDD+ strategy in Mozambique through a synthesis of the current knowledge about the causes of forest carbon changes, a review of the legal and institutional context, and a description of the current political process of REDD+. The objective of the study is to collate data and relevant information, and to offer a preliminary analysis of the fundamental aspects that can help promote efficiency, efficacy, and equity in REDD+ policy. Specifically, this study concludes that some of the major problems for REDD+ in Mozambique are the lack of data about deforestation and forest degradation, institutional weakness (regarding monitoring and propriety rights), and gaps in human and technical capacity to fulfil demands associated with REDD+. Therefore, efficient results will depend on the degree to which REDD+ policies are oriented toward real mitigation of the sources of forest carbon changes. In Mozambique, REDD+ policy tends to originate outside the timber sector. The cost-effectiveness of the results will depend on identifying and addressing the fundamental causes of forest carbon changes through more viable REDD+ policy options; government capacity to respond to REDD+ demands, especially at the sub-national level; the capacity of civil society and other institutions; and the strength of the institutional framework. The degree of success of equitable outcomes and the generation of co-benefits will depend on the inclusion and appropriateness of the processes at the national level; if those who support REDD+ costs are also being compensated; and on the general definition of carbon rights and environmental services.

World Resources 1998-99 focuses on the critical issue of environmental change and human health. Drawing on the latest scientific data, this section explores how environmental conditions contribute to the current burden of death and disease around the world and how that may change over the coming decades. World Resources 1998-99 looks at several critical trends that are changing the physical environment and thereby have the potential to influence human health on such topics as the intensification of agriculture, industrialization, and rising energy use. As in previous volumes, World Resources 1998-99 also looks at the current state of the environment as it relates to population and human well-being, resources at risk, and consumption and waste. The book also contains the latest core country data from 157 countries and new information on poverty, inequality, and food security.
