Hence the evaluation of environmental impacts is essential and requires multiple indicators, appropriate for measuring the state and the interactions of the interrelated social and environmental variables and its relation to ecosystem services. The present research proposes a participatory approach to understand the perception of environmental impacts and its relation to ecosystem services to develop responsive impact mitigation strategies in the Galapagos Islands. The Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Responses (DPSIR) framework provided an analytical lens, while the Delphi method was chosen to involve selected Galapagos experts in the indicator selection process. The Delphi method consists of an iterative set of questionnaire surveys, interspersed with feedback from earlier response rounds. According to our results, 37/55 statistical consent indicators (qi ≥ 3.5 and Q ≤ 0.5) and 7/28 relevant interactions of environmental impacts (mean ≥ 0.5 and CV ≤ 0.5) explain a cascade of socio-ecological interconnectivity that generates environmental impacts on the Galapagos Islands. Hence, first the socio-economic-cultural and institutional forces (drivers) that include: the increase of tourism and migration, economic growth, continental lifestyles, lack of education and weak management of institutions. These drivers place stress on the environment (pressures). The pressures include: the importation of goods, land clearing for agriculture/abandonment and urban zone extension. Subsequently, these pressures generate changes in the environmental functions (impacts). The identification of impacts and their interactions indicate a close relationship between eight impacts in Galapagos: introduction of species, biodiversity loss, land use change, loss of biological resources, habitat fragmentation, landscape alterations, water basin overexploitation and decrease of water quality. Lastly, scientifically sound solutions and alternatives to deal with the Galapagos' social, economical, political, managerial and technical problems are also provided (responses). This study is an applicable useful systemic reference for Galapagos' decision makers to deliver policies in order to move towards proper conservation management.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/11079364" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="546ee9b5f5f251f34dda5d86141c8298" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":46918342,"asset_id":11079364,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918342/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="26780529" href="https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9">Jean Hugé</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="26780529" type="text/json">{"id":26780529,"first_name":"Jean","last_name":"Hugé","domain_name":"ulb","page_name":"JeanHugé","display_name":"Jean Hugé","profile_url":"https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_11079364 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="11079364"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 11079364, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_11079364", });

Hence the evaluation of environmental impacts is essential and requires multiple indicators, appropriate for measuring the state and the interactions of the interrelated social and environmental variables and its relation to ecosystem services. The present research proposes a participatory approach to understand the perception of environmental impacts and its relation to ecosystem services to develop responsive impact mitigation strategies in the Galapagos Islands. The Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Responses (DPSIR) framework provided an analytical lens, while the Delphi method was chosen to involve selected Galapagos experts in the indicator selection process. The Delphi method consists of an iterative set of questionnaire surveys, interspersed with feedback from earlier response rounds. According to our results, 37/55 statistical consent indicators (qi ≥ 3.5 and Q ≤ 0.5) and 7/28 relevant interactions of environmental impacts (mean ≥ 0.5 and CV ≤ 0.5) explain a cascade of socio-ecological interconnectivity that generates environmental impacts on the Galapagos Islands. Hence, first the socio-economic-cultural and institutional forces (drivers) that include: the increase of tourism and migration, economic growth, continental lifestyles, lack of education and weak management of institutions. These drivers place stress on the environment (pressures). The pressures include: the importation of goods, land clearing for agriculture/abandonment and urban zone extension. Subsequently, these pressures generate changes in the environmental functions (impacts). The identification of impacts and their interactions indicate a close relationship between eight impacts in Galapagos: introduction of species, biodiversity loss, land use change, loss of biological resources, habitat fragmentation, landscape alterations, water basin overexploitation and decrease of water quality. Lastly, scientifically sound solutions and alternatives to deal with the Galapagos' social, economical, political, managerial and technical problems are also provided (responses). This study is an applicable useful systemic reference for Galapagos' decision makers to deliver policies in order to move towards proper conservation management.","publication":"Ecological Indicators","publication_with_fallback":"Ecological Indicators","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":46918342,"asset_id":11079364,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/46918342/thumbnails/1.jpg","download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/46918342/Environmental_impacts_on_the_Galapagos_I20160630-32289-1iqoymx-libre.pdf?1467301446=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEnvironmental_impacts_on_the_Galapagos_I.pdf\u0026Expires=1742944795\u0026Signature=TVbGbfFrwHJV6aANK0S5ZF3UAtH1C4EqzfPPCgOV26s0IYIO65dryQJRfT9q5ir5RGdtDrQGe7kXGe3-16WCfGCUIybwq0oznjSzFxcYRQwzFOiQjJmGOD66RfR3s7t8yN52hgQSzR2CIUppELstg9FBzRjXKOUxVLp5RW1a07ScMR9KUQ8ay6UZdvbJiQjsMeFPdBs6D2JGERgJqj42wbax0-DNUPFyX8ptFhB6rmepaq8yVYaWMmhTRxG3Bt2SYB5JHK7jgDbG7owp5A2Y0nXY71Hiv4nXUuPEMDL3DCm25EagcQgxVMoQLGmxJIAjajIhP2wRTvZvqYLsur5Egw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA","download_file_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918342/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","full_thumbnail_url":"https://0.academia-photos.com/attachment_thumbnails/46918342/mini_magick20220710-18710-1ool87f.png?1657472360"}],"downloadable_attachments_with_full_thumbnails":[{"id":46918342,"asset_id":11079364,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/46918342/thumbnails/1.jpg","download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/46918342/Environmental_impacts_on_the_Galapagos_I20160630-32289-1iqoymx-libre.pdf?1467301446=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DEnvironmental_impacts_on_the_Galapagos_I.pdf\u0026Expires=1742944795\u0026Signature=TVbGbfFrwHJV6aANK0S5ZF3UAtH1C4EqzfPPCgOV26s0IYIO65dryQJRfT9q5ir5RGdtDrQGe7kXGe3-16WCfGCUIybwq0oznjSzFxcYRQwzFOiQjJmGOD66RfR3s7t8yN52hgQSzR2CIUppELstg9FBzRjXKOUxVLp5RW1a07ScMR9KUQ8ay6UZdvbJiQjsMeFPdBs6D2JGERgJqj42wbax0-DNUPFyX8ptFhB6rmepaq8yVYaWMmhTRxG3Bt2SYB5JHK7jgDbG7owp5A2Y0nXY71Hiv4nXUuPEMDL3DCm25EagcQgxVMoQLGmxJIAjajIhP2wRTvZvqYLsur5Egw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA","download_file_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918342/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","full_thumbnail_url":"https://0.academia-photos.com/attachment_thumbnails/46918342/mini_magick20220710-18710-1ool87f.png?1657472360"}],"has_pdf":true,"has_fulltext":true,"page_count":11,"ordered_authors":[{"id":26780529,"first_name":"Jean","last_name":"Hugé","domain_name":"ulb","page_name":"JeanHugé","display_name":"Jean Hugé","profile_url":"https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":2312,"name":"Ecosystem Services","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ecosystem_Services","nofollow":true},{"id":26239,"name":"Socio-ecological system dynamics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Socio-ecological_system_dynamics","nofollow":true},{"id":47884,"name":"Biological Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Biological_Sciences","nofollow":true},{"id":58054,"name":"Environmental Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Sciences"},{"id":138744,"name":"Ecological Indicators","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ecological_Indicators"},{"id":260118,"name":"CHEMICAL SCIENCES","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/CHEMICAL_SCIENCES"},{"id":469225,"name":"Delphi method","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Delphi_method"}],"publication_year":2014,"publication_year_with_fallback":2014,"paper_rank":null,"all_time_views":59,"active_discussion":{}}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_11079365" data-work_id="11079365" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/11079365/Impact_assessment_for_a_sustainable_energy_future_Reflections_and_practical_experiences">Impact assessment for a sustainable energy future—Reflections and practical experiences</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">As energy issues are at the top of the policy agenda worldwide, policy-makers increasingly need better decision-supporting processes to assist them in fostering a sustainable energy future.

Indeed, CDM projects have a two-fold objective: to offset greenhouse gas emissions and to contribute to sustainable development in the host country. However in many cases, the latter objective appears to be marginalized. This is at least partly due to the difficulties surrounding the definition and the measurement of sustainability, in particular in a developing country context. To assess CDM projects' contribution to sustainable development in the host country, scholars and practitioners need adapted indicator sets. A set of indicators were developed by way of an iterative Delphi approach amongst selected Vietnamese experts. The Delphi approach allowed a systematic collection of the experts' judgements on the sustainability indicators through a set of sequentially applied questionnaires, interspersed with feedback from earlier responses. This exercise resulted in the selection of a set of 36 indicators, which emphasise economic efficiency, public health and pollution issues. The exercise yielded a locally supported and context-specific set of sustainability indicators that will allow Vietnamese decision-makers to enhance the sustainability of the approved CDM projects.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/11079366" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="da62797b36daf8c272a167694967bcdb" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":46918257,"asset_id":11079366,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918257/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="26780529" href="https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9">Jean Hugé</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="26780529" type="text/json">{"id":26780529,"first_name":"Jean","last_name":"Hugé","domain_name":"ulb","page_name":"JeanHugé","display_name":"Jean Hugé","profile_url":"https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_11079366 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="11079366"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 11079366, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_11079366", });

Indeed, CDM projects have a two-fold objective: to offset greenhouse gas emissions and to contribute to sustainable development in the host country. However in many cases, the latter objective appears to be marginalized. This is at least partly due to the difficulties surrounding the definition and the measurement of sustainability, in particular in a developing country context. To assess CDM projects' contribution to sustainable development in the host country, scholars and practitioners need adapted indicator sets. A set of indicators were developed by way of an iterative Delphi approach amongst selected Vietnamese experts. The Delphi approach allowed a systematic collection of the experts' judgements on the sustainability indicators through a set of sequentially applied questionnaires, interspersed with feedback from earlier responses. This exercise resulted in the selection of a set of 36 indicators, which emphasise economic efficiency, public health and pollution issues. The exercise yielded a locally supported and context-specific set of sustainability indicators that will allow Vietnamese decision-makers to enhance the sustainability of the approved CDM projects.","publication":"Environment, Development and Sustainability","publication_with_fallback":"Environment, Development and

However, many aspects of the PRSP have been criticised by a variety of development stakeholders. A checklist of 85 questions has been developed to analyse the inclusion of aspects of sustainable development in PRSPs and to point to sustainability challenges and opportunities. It thus facilitates targeted advice and quality improvements. The checklist was applied to a selection of 12 PRSPs of developing countries. The results reveal an insufficient integration of the ecosystem services concept, of biodiversity and of climate issues. Property rights, gender issues, water and energy are as a rule well elaborated. PRSPs show significant variation in the integration of environmental sustainability issues. Sustainability assessments can contribute to significant improvements between first and second generation PRSPs provided the assessments are supported by a strong institutional framework and a dedicated political commitment towards sustainability.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/11079369" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="d8741a2463e1c5092a9c1869584ed296" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":46918245,"asset_id":11079369,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918245/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="26780529" href="https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9">Jean Hugé</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="26780529" type="text/json">{"id":26780529,"first_name":"Jean","last_name":"Hugé","domain_name":"ulb","page_name":"JeanHugé","display_name":"Jean Hugé","profile_url":"https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_11079369 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="11079369"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 11079369, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_11079369", });

However, many aspects of the PRSP have been criticised by a variety of development stakeholders. A checklist of 85 questions has been developed to analyse the inclusion of aspects of sustainable development in PRSPs and to point to sustainability challenges and opportunities. It thus facilitates targeted advice and quality improvements. The checklist was applied to a selection of 12 PRSPs of developing countries. The results reveal an insufficient integration of the ecosystem services concept, of biodiversity and of climate issues. Property rights, gender issues, water and energy are as a rule well elaborated. PRSPs show significant variation in the integration of environmental sustainability issues. Sustainability assessments can contribute to significant improvements between first and second generation PRSPs provided the assessments are supported by a strong institutional framework and a dedicated political commitment towards sustainability.","publication":"Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal","publication_with_fallback":"Impact Assessment and Project

However in many cases, the latter objective appears to be marginalized. This is at least partly due to the difficulties surrounding the definition and the measurement of sustainability, in particular in a developing country context. To assess CDM projects’ contribution to sustainable development in the host country, scholars and practitioners need adapted indicator sets. A set of indicators were developed by way of an iterative Delphi approach amongst selected Vietnamese experts. The Delphi approach allowed a systematic collection of the experts’ judgements on the sustainability indicators through a set of sequentially applied questionnaires, interspersed with feedback from earlier responses. This exercise resulted in the selection of a set of 36 indicators, which emphasise economic efficiency, public health and pollution issues. The exercise yielded a locally supported and context-specific set of sustainability indicators that will allow Vietnamese decision-makers to enhance the sustainability of the approved CDM projects. In the future this set should be continually improved through real-life application and further participation from local stakeholders. This study is a first step in a long-term process towards developing an adapted toolkit for sustainability assessment of CDM projects in Vietnam.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/11079378" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="ac42bea4963bd393d5c5094d123afdf0" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":46918267,"asset_id":11079378,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918267/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="26780529" href="https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9">Jean Hugé</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="26780529" type="text/json">{"id":26780529,"first_name":"Jean","last_name":"Hugé","domain_name":"ulb","page_name":"JeanHugé","display_name":"Jean Hugé","profile_url":"https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_11079378 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="11079378"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 11079378, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_11079378", });

We demonstrate that sustainability assessment and sustainability indicators can be powerful decision-supporting tools that foster sustainable development by addressing three sustainability decision-making challenges: interpretation, information-structuring, and influence. Particularly, since the 1990s many substantial and often promising sustainability assessment and sustainability indicators efforts are made.

We demonstrate that sustainability assessment and sustainability indicators can be powerful decision-supporting tools that foster sustainable development by addressing three sustainability decision-making challenges: interpretation, information-structuring, and influence. Particularly, since the 1990s many substantial and often promising sustainability assessment and sustainability indicators efforts are made. However, better practices and a broader shared understanding are still required. We aim to contribute to that objective by adopting a theoretical perspective that frames SA and SI in the context of sustainable development as a decision-making strategy and that introduces both fields along several essential aspects in a structured and comparable manner.","publication":"Sustainability","publication_with_fallback":"Sustainability","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":46918301,"asset_id":11079379,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/46918301/thumbnails/1.jpg","download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/46918301/Sustainability_assessment_and_indicators20160630-29027-1c8rcnj-libre.pdf?1467301442=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DSustainability_Assessment_and_Indicators.pdf\u0026Expires=1742974968\u0026Signature=Um8pz3uzAScm645WPHApG0zV9XYV5nswpuQXUSTqdyxG8gbLsbaEeQV~D88kTSZNzL1bh-zcUcgqI8A0RT~PkPjNm8B0Zd0ThGMyVW8C2Syetae4Ko7Bo5-ZdqHEmLy7vYPWC2bWwNW6GnmqynSdLVtlpBqr6yKsBQrdrKA5mOIFnc17MRnsGXHvkpHqgl3-beZGHGInM6eQFZoc3eYqCP~105tS-L~UZnaxIlWIA96zAMQvyAIJQ7o815Pn5o8Wv076uITY1F816QuE5U5UMsn8BA9MXEoYx6I5DxuOoVJBRqcz4yAozLve9WtW79XSbaYOpZISDdqeG8gRWtPKUw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA","download_file_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918301/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","full_thumbnail_url":"https://0.academia-photos.com/attachment_thumbnails/46918301/mini_magick20190208-20424-1w6votc.png?1549643481"}],"downloadable_attachments_with_full_thumbnails":[{"id":46918301,"asset_id":11079379,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/46918301/thumbnails/1.jpg","download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/46918301/Sustainability_assessment_and_indicators20160630-29027-1c8rcnj-libre.pdf?1467301442=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DSustainability_Assessment_and_Indicators.pdf\u0026Expires=1742974969\u0026Signature=S5M5NKMsU3ZnsILZFK0p5cK-~llLL~puI3Ztg~f3Nxbvo~RfccfifpfvJ8sMbFxiP--d9S7M~T9-MPweeoq0Eatv3e4IvqgOBHTtlS7mBqQPinjRvqcWMfVPm-PClII-TBjHK4Fm3cPG1lwCHnNOissrEawbryPfxCIGjjEQG551EZexNDMVhloKnlCFDwQZTC9UipreiyyXirYYGjHkyaOdURaAIlFpat4NVEAaf5FvVcojk7adSzL-sWdXIqQYFJMU375BI6Ftjj4-3TZ9pWhtVmwqtyTVnjOT9SeZScG-OrvnRyVHuv-tz3HbxjDxjI8MLgBYXKWB-rH09yBqfQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA","download_file_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/46918301/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczMyw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","full_thumbnail_url":"https://0.academia-photos.com/attachment_thumbnails/46918301/mini_magick20190208-20424-1w6votc.png?1549643481"}],"has_pdf":true,"has_fulltext":true,"page_count":23,"ordered_authors":[{"id":26780529,"first_name":"Jean","last_name":"Hugé","domain_name":"ulb","page_name":"JeanHugé","display_name":"Jean Hugé","profile_url":"https://ulb.academia.edu/JeanHug%C3%A9","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1681,"name":"Decision Making","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Decision_Making","nofollow":true},{"id":4013,"name":"Sustainability Indicators","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sustainability_Indicators","nofollow":true},{"id":4524,"name":"Sustainable Development","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sustainable_Development"},{"id":37586,"name":"Sustainability Assessment","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sustainability_Assessment"},{"id":76040,"name":"Impact Assessment","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Impact_Assessment"},{"id":1208617,"name":"Sustainability","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sustainability"}],"publication_year":2014,"publication_year_with_fallback":2014,"paper_rank":null,"all_time_views":126,"active_discussion":{}}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_11079384" data-work_id="11079384" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/11079384/Ecosystem_Service_Valuations_of_Mangrove_Ecosystems_to_Inform_Decision_Making_and_Future_Valuation_Exercises">Ecosystem Service Valuations of Mangrove Ecosystems to Inform Decision Making and Future Valuation Exercises</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">The valuation of ecosystem services is a complex process as it includes several dimensions (ecological, socio-cultural and economic) and not all of these can be quantified in monetary units.

We used an expert-based participatory approach (the Delphi technique) to identify, categorize and rank the various ecosystem services provided by mangrove ecosystems at a global scale. Subsequently we looked for evidence in the existing ecosystem services literature for monetary valuations of these ecosystem service categories throughout the biogeographic distribution of mangroves. We then compared the relative ranking of ecosystem service categories between the monetary valuations and the expert based analysis.

A checklist of 85 questions has been developed to analyse the inclusion of aspects of sustainable development in PRSPs and to point to sustainability challenges and opportunities. It thus facilitates targeted advice and quality improvements. The checklist was applied to a selection of 12 PRSPs of developing countries. The results reveal an insufficient integration of the ecosystem services concept, of biodiversity and of climate issues.

With the adoption of the Common Reporting Format (CRF) for submission of annual GHG emission inventories, the amount and complexity of GHG inventory data reported by Parties have increased substantially. In 2000 the UNFCCC secretariat started the development of a database system to satisfy the growing need for data analysis tools. This paper presents information on the Greenhouse Gas Inventory Information System developed by the UNFCCC secretariat. The main purpose of the system is to store national GHG inventories from Parties, support the inventory review process for Annex I Parties to the Convention, facilitate provision of data to the conferences of the Parties and provide information to the public through the World Wide Web.

Both bio-concentration/accumulation (BCF) and translocation factors (TF) of heavy metals from sediment to different plant parts (leaves, root, bark, senescent leaf and fruit) were investigated. The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals in the mangrove sediment were lower than average shale concentration and still can be considered as less or unpolluted area. However, in relation to the present observations, higher concentrations of non-essential metals (Pb, Cr) were found in the sediments close to A. alba and N. fruticans than to other mangrove species. While Pb and Cr were less bio-concentration (BCF<1) in all three life stages A. alba, but found high in the root and leaf of N.fruticans juvenile vegetation. The essential metals like Zn and Cu have shown their higher bio-concentration (BCF >1) and translocation (TF>1) at the leaves, senescent leaf and bark of A. alba adult vegetation, whereas low for juvenile plants. Cu was found high in S. caseolaris sediment than to other species. High bio-concentration of Zn, Cu and Cd was in the root and leaf of all their life stages of S. caseolaris but lower translocation (TF < 1) in adult and young leaves than juvenile leaves (TF>1). For B. gymnorrhiza, the BCF of Cu was high for young root and Zn for adult and juvenile leaves but adult and juvenile showed higher translocation (TF > 1) plant parts. The fruits of consumable and non-consumable species showed higher concentrations of Zn, Cu and Cr than to maximum consumption limits suggested by the WHO. The above findings suggest that A. alba, B. gymnorrhiza, S.caseolaris, N.fruticans are having a high ability of metal accumulation and translocation into their body and be considered as potential phytoremediating species in the mangrove ecosystem.

Both bio-concentration/accumulation (BCF) and translocation factors (TF) of heavy metals from sediment to different plant parts (leaves, root, bark, senescent leaf and fruit) were investigated. The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals in the mangrove sediment were lower than average shale concentration and still can be considered as less or unpolluted area. However, in relation to the present observations, higher concentrations of non-essential metals (Pb, Cr) were found in the sediments close to A. alba and N. fruticans than to other mangrove species. While Pb and Cr were less bio-concentration (BCF\u003c1) in all three life stages A. alba, but found high in the root and leaf of N.fruticans juvenile vegetation. The essential metals like Zn and Cu have shown their higher bio-concentration (BCF \u003e1) and translocation (TF\u003e1) at the leaves, senescent leaf and bark of A. alba adult vegetation, whereas low for juvenile plants. Cu was found high in S. caseolaris sediment than to other species. High bio-concentration of Zn, Cu and Cd was in the root and leaf of all their life stages of S. caseolaris but lower translocation (TF \u003c 1) in adult and young leaves than juvenile leaves (TF\u003e1). For B. gymnorrhiza, the BCF of Cu was high for young root and Zn for adult and juvenile leaves but adult and juvenile showed higher translocation (TF \u003e 1) plant parts. The fruits of consumable and non-consumable species showed higher concentrations of Zn, Cu and Cr than to maximum consumption limits suggested by the WHO. The above findings suggest that A. alba, B. gymnorrhiza, S.caseolaris, N.fruticans are having a high ability of metal accumulation and translocation into their body and be considered as potential phytoremediating species in the mangrove ecosystem. On the other hand, majority of these species possess edible value and require regular monitoring on their metal accumulation status.","publication":null,"publication_with_fallback":null,"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":42156139,"asset_id":21596964,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/42156139/thumbnails/1.jpg","download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/42156139/Thesis_abstract-libre.pdf?1454699316=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DIs_phytoremediation_an_ecosystem_service.pdf\u0026Expires=1742988379\u0026Signature=F6Uq8VJcCw6JnK2caGWD~4um3CzNgVejMhpLy9VNCAC173h7cm3Y1Dx9AP-BPfEggAoacmX17PqKrhsJnOxYobYq2PxY6FuQ-~XE7fIVM9Mt9rcCAgIx7cEOrSJvXlqENfkQ7JZUiYxXw5iieM1gloO-d1CIuJ1XCDOlTwU~~QzYzdcipk4GkSAwbvgY8T8rRIXyY4Zi7ymgycjtV3f5PIhuYK0yGXOMXbUAZZ52QqtNrNttIOVjWExpIPAlepl73VypJwFUD-V6WKZ-K-YnEsOpKvbNNg7s90WoCJt0jAo3mwC9EGs0qWjdbr9eLykaHPAo8M3SQ4P7fTjD8bHH3w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA","download_file_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/42156139/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","full_thumbnail_url":"https://0.academia-photos.com/attachment_thumbnails/42156139/mini_magick20190218-13763-7n8cg5.png?1550484895"}],"downloadable_attachments_with_full_thumbnails":[{"id":42156139,"asset_id":21596964,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/42156139/thumbnails/1.jpg","download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/42156139/Thesis_abstract-libre.pdf?1454699316=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DIs_phytoremediation_an_ecosystem_service.pdf\u0026Expires=1742988379\u0026Signature=F6Uq8VJcCw6JnK2caGWD~4um3CzNgVejMhpLy9VNCAC173h7cm3Y1Dx9AP-BPfEggAoacmX17PqKrhsJnOxYobYq2PxY6FuQ-~XE7fIVM9Mt9rcCAgIx7cEOrSJvXlqENfkQ7JZUiYxXw5iieM1gloO-d1CIuJ1XCDOlTwU~~QzYzdcipk4GkSAwbvgY8T8rRIXyY4Zi7ymgycjtV3f5PIhuYK0yGXOMXbUAZZ52QqtNrNttIOVjWExpIPAlepl73VypJwFUD-V6WKZ-K-YnEsOpKvbNNg7s90WoCJt0jAo3mwC9EGs0qWjdbr9eLykaHPAo8M3SQ4P7fTjD8bHH3w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA","download_file_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/42156139/download_file?st=MTc0MzAyNzczNCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","full_thumbnail_url":"https://0.academia-photos.com/attachment_thumbnails/42156139/mini_magick20190218-13763-7n8cg5.png?1550484895"}],"has_pdf":true,"has_fulltext":true,"page_count":1,"ordered_authors":[{"id":7367767,"first_name":"Mohammad Mazbah","last_name":"Uddin","domain_name":"xmu","page_name":"MohammadMazbahUddin","display_name":"Mohammad Mazbah Uddin","profile_url":"https://xmu.academia.edu/MohammadMazbahUddin","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/7367767/15491235/16100462/s65_mohammad_mazbah.uddin.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":15371,"name":"Removal Of Heavy Metals In Contaminated Soils","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Removal_Of_Heavy_Metals_In_Contaminated_Soils"}],"publication_year":null,"publication_year_with_fallback":null,"paper_rank":null,"all_time_views":67,"active_discussion":{}}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div></div></div><div class="u-taCenter Pagination"><ul class="pagination "> <li class="page active"> <a href="/Departments/Biology/Documents">1</a> </li> <li class="page"> <a rel="next" href="/Departments/Biology/Documents?page=2">2</a> </li> <li class="next_page"> <a rel="next" href="/Departments/Biology/Documents?page=2">Next &rsaquo;</a> </li> <li class="last next"> <a href="/Departments/Biology/Documents?page=2">Last »</a> </li> </ul> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div> </div> <div class="bootstrap login"><div class="modal fade login-modal" id="login-modal"><div class="login-modal-dialog modal-dialog"><div class="modal-content"><div class="modal-header"><button class="close close" data-dismiss="modal" type="button"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button><h4 class="modal-title text-center"><strong>Log In</strong></h4></div><div class="modal-body"><div class="row"><div class="col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1"><button class="btn btn-fb btn-lg btn-block btn-v-center-content" id="login-facebook-oauth-button"><svg style="float: left;
