Esta publicación guía a los profesionales a través de siete preguntas para ayudarlos a tomar decisiones con respecto al monitoreo de la restauración. Primero, se les pide que determinen sus objetivos de restauración, el uso de la tierra y las barreras para la sustentabilidad. Estas opciones se filtran por limitaciones y prioridades, por lo que el profesional desarrollará los indicadores necesarios para configurar su marco de monitoreo. Los indicadores son valiosas medidas del desempeño del desarrollo diseñadas para medir y calibrar el progreso. Los indicadores ambientales se utilizan para proporcionar conocimientos sintetizados y para resaltar el alcance de las tendencias ambientales. También ayudan a reducir la complejidad, proporcionan vínculos entre la ciencia y las políticas, y ayudan a los responsables de la toma de decisiones a proporcionar orientación sobre la gobernanza ambiental. Un marco de indicadores puede proporcionar una herramienta de gestión para ayudar a los países a desarrollar estrategias de implementación y asignar recursos para alcanzar los objetivos de restauración. El monitoreo con indicadores puede actuar como muestra para medir el progreso hacia la restauración y ayudar a garantizar la responsabilidad de todas las partes interesadas para lograr los objetivos. La guía utiliza estudios de casos de países para mostrar cómo un profesional podría responder a las preguntas, ofreciendo un menú de indicadores para medir el progreso del monitoreo. A continuación, destaca los diferentes tipos de datos que pueden contribuir a la creación de un marco de indicadores, según las limitaciones de recursos y las necesidades de información.

National information needs on forests have grown considerably in recent years, evolving from forest area and growing stock information to key aspects of sustainable forest management, such as the role of forests in the conservation of biodiversity and the provision of other ecosystem services. More recently, information on changes in carbon stocks, socio-economic aspects including the contribution to livelihoods and poverty reduction, governance and broader land use issues has become critical for national planning.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
