La tierra es un componente integrante de todos los medios de subsistencia que dependen de los habitats agricolas, forestales, ganaderos o acuaticos (rios, lagos o costas marinas). Debido a factores cambiantes de naturaleza politica, social y economica, el uso excesivo de los recursos naturales para abastecer a una poblacion y a una economia mundiales en rapido crecimiento ha dado lugar a una mala gestion y una degradacion no deseadas de las tierras y los ecosistemas. Este libro presenta un enfoque estrategico con respecto a la aplicacion de los componentes de gestion sostenible de la tierra de las estrategias de desarrollo del Banco Mundial. La gestion sostenible de la tierra es un procedimiento basado en los conocimientos disponibles, que integra la gestion de la tierra, el agua, la biodiversidad y el medio ambiente, para responder a la creciente demanda de alimentos y fibras, respetando al mismo tiempo el entorno y los medios de subsistencia. El libro articula las prioridades de inversion en el ambito de la gestion sostenible de la tierra y de los recursos naturales, e identifica las posibles reformas politicas, institucionales y en materia de incentivos que permiten acelerar la adopcion de medidas para la mejora de la productividad y el crecimiento en favor de los pobres a traves de una gestion sostenible de la tierra.

This strategic framework serves to guide and support the operational response of the World Bank Group (WBG) to new development challenges posed by global climate change. Unabated, climate change threatens to reverse hard-earned development gains. The poorest countries and communities will suffer the earliest and the most. Yet they depend on actions by other nations, developed and developing. While climate change is an added cost and risk to development, a well-designed and implemented global climate policy can also bring new economic opportunities to developing countries. Climate change demands unprecedented global cooperation involving a concerted action by countries at different development stages supported by "measurable, reportable, and verifiable" transfer of finance and technology to developing countries. Trust of developing countries in equity and fairness of a global climate policy and neutrality of the supporting institutions is critical for such cooperation to succeed. Difficulties with mobilizing resources for achieving the millennium development goals and with agreeing on global agricultural trade underscore the political challenges. The framework will help the WBG maintain the effectiveness of its core mission of supporting growth and poverty reduction. While recognizing added costs and risks of climate change and an evolving global climate policy. The WBG top priority will be to build collaborative relations with developing country partners and provide them customized demand-driven support through its various instruments from financing to technical assistance to constructive advocacy. It will give considerable attention to strengthening resilience of economies and communities to increasing climate risks and adaptation. The operational focus will be on improving knowledge and capacity, including learning by doing. The framework will guide operational programs of WBG entities to support actions whose benefits to developing countries are robust under significant uncertainties about future climate policies and impacts-actions that have "no regrets."
