Betekenis van:
desertification

Voorbeeldzinnen

1.  afforestation to combat erosion and desertification or to promote a comparable protective function of the forest;
2. developing plans and measures to prevent and cope with natural risks (e.g. desertification, droughts, fires and floods) and technological risks;
3. Sustainable land management practices can help reduce risks linked to abandonment, desertification and forest fires, particularly in less-favoured areas.
4. For example, the Kyoto Protocol, United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, UN Biodiversity Convention, 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development conclusions and 2005 G-8 Summit conclusions.
5. Particular areas relate to EU international commitments, such as climate change, biodiversity, desertification, water resource management and chemicals and wastes conventions as well as the Johannesburg Summit decisions on sustainable development as well as other regional conventions.
6. According to its conclusions, strong economic performance must go hand in hand with the sustainable use of natural resources and levels of waste, maintaining biodiversity, preserving ecosystems and avoiding desertification.
7. Environmental governance, sector specific issues (climate change, air quality, water resources and water quality, waste management, nature protection, desertification, coastal and marine pollution, industrial pollution, etc.) environmental integration, as well as international and regional environment cooperation.
8. Integrated approaches will be developed to prevent and combat desertification, land degradation and erosion (including rational use of water), to stop biodiversity loss and to mitigate negative consequences of human interference.
9. Since the income of Cypriot farmers affected by the drought has been drastically reduced, they face the serious risk of not having the financial means to meet the immediate needs of their families and to start a new season, leading to an imminent danger of land abandonment, soil erosion and desertification.
10. environment: in particular environmental protection capacity in the priority areas specified in the Association Agreement (desertification, water resource and waste management, salinisation, controlling and preventing industrial, urban and marine pollution, protection of marine environments and biodiversity, etc.) and integration of the environmental dimension in the priority sectors of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership with a view to sustainable development.
11. The provision of environmental services such as clean water supplies, waste and waste-water treatment infrastructures, management of natural resources, the decontamination of land to prepare it for new economic activities, and protection against certain environmental risks (e.g. desertification, droughts, fires and floods), should all have high priority in this context.
12. Environmental reasons qualifying areas as apt for afforestation as referred to in Article 50(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 may comprise prevention from erosion and/or desertification, the enhancing of biodiversity, protection of water resources, prevention of floods and climate change mitigation, provided that the latter will not harm biodiversity or cause other environmental damage.
13. In the environmental domain, the demands include the acquisition of independent knowledge on the state and evolution of sustainable use of renewable resources (such as vegetation and forests), wetlands, desertification, land cover including snow and ice, and land use, the food supply, agricultural environment and fishing, carbon sinks and stocks; atmospheric processes and chemistry; and conditions of seas.
14. ensuring respect for and supporting the implementation of international environment agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in line with the EU Action Plan on Climate Change, and their protocols and any subsequent modifications;
15. Research is needed at EU level for the implementation of international commitments such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) and its Kyoto protocol, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, the objectives of the World Summit on Sustainable Development 2002, including the EU Water Initiative, and contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Earth Observation initiative.
