VI. LAND RESOURCES:
This chapter focuses on the need to
elaborate land management plans in conjunction with other uses and
policies. Recommendations for national action include: preparation
and review of land-use plans; encouragement of appropriate forms of
land tenure; formulation and enforcement of laws, regulations and
economic pricing and incentives to encourage the sustainable and
integrated use, management and conservation of land and its natural
resources; support for appropriate afforestation and reforestation
programmes; and increased attention to national physical planning
in both urban and rural environments. Recommendations for regional
and international action include: training and capacity-building
opportunities; collection, synthesizing and sharing of information,
knowledge and experience among SIDS; support for the improved
availability of shelter; and the development and improvement of
national databases.
