Manual de Capacitación para Evaluaciones Ambientales Integrales y Elaboración de Informes
Summary
The document describes a comprehensive training package for Integrated Environmental Assessments (IEA), structured into two volumes. Volume 1 covers eight methodological modules ranging from design and data monitoring to scenario analysis and communication. Volume 2 provides a thematic module specifically focused on vulnerability and impact assessment for climate change adaptation. The manual is designed to be flexible and interactive, supported by a Community Platform for resource sharing and a database of trainers.
Key insights
- The training manual is divided into two volumes: Volume 1 contains eight basic methodological modules, and Volume 2 consists of a thematic module on climate change adaptation.
- The IEA methodology follows a structured analytical framework (FMPEIR) to answer five key questions: what is happening to the environment and why, the consequences for environment and humanity, the effectiveness of current actions, future trajectories, and measures for a sustainable future.
- To ensure that assessments lead to actual policy changes rather than being ignored, the manual emphasizes the creation of an 'impact strategy' to navigate 'data smog' and capture the attention of decision-makers.
- The manual utilizes scenario analysis not as a prediction, but as a description of possible future developments to support decision-making and illustrate the role of human activity in shaping the future.
- The IEA capacity-building package includes the manual (available in six official UN languages), the IEA Community Platform for resource exchange, an online learning version, and a Database of IEA Trainers.
