Rozwój koncepcji rezerwatów biosfery UNESCO

Edyta Lis

Streszczenie w języku polskim


Od samego początku koncepcja rezerwatów biosfery ewoluowała wraz z opracowywaniem dokumentów międzynarodowych, zarówno wiążących, jak i niewiążących, przyjętych w szczególności pod auspicjami Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych. Działania te zawsze były ze sobą ściśle powiązane. Ich celem była promocja harmonijnego współistnienia ludzi i środowiska – celu kluczowego dla misji rezerwatów biosfery. Uwzględniają one postęp technologiczny i zrównoważony rozwój, a także potrzebę zachowania różnorodności biologicznej i zasobów naturalnych dla obecnych i przyszłych pokoleń. W dniach 22–26 września 2025 r. decydenci polityczni, naukowcy, przedsiębiorcy i ekolodzy spotkali się w Hangzhou w Chinach na V Światowym Kongresie Rezerwatów Biosfery. Wspólnie ustalono przyszły kierunek rozwoju rezerwatów biosfery i Światowej Sieci Rezerwatów Biosfery. Celem Kongresu było określenie, jakie działania należy podjąć w odpowiedzi na aktualne wyzwania, zwłaszcza te związane ze zmianami klimatu, degradacją gleby, pustynnieniem, degradacją środowiska morskiego, a także sprecyzowanie roli rezerwatów biosfery w pokonywaniu tych trudności. Na zakończenie Kongresu uczestnicy zatwierdzili Strategiczny Plan Działania z Hangzhou oraz Deklarację z Hangzhou, w których podkreślono kluczową rolę rezerwatów biosfery w odpowiedzi na dzisiejsze wyzwania. Co więcej, mocno akcentują one prawnoczłowieczy element rezerwatów biosfery, uwzględniając ich szczególną rolę w zachowaniu zasobów przez ludność tubylczą, społeczności lokalne, kobiety oraz młodzież. Artykuł stanowi wkład w trwającą dyskusję na temat ewoluującej roli rezerwatów biosfery i Światowej Sieci Rezerwatów Biosfery w odniesieniu do zachowania globalnej różnorodności biologicznej i zrównoważonego rozwoju. Ponadto zasugerowano, że rezerwaty biosfery i Światowa Sieć Rezerwatów Biosfery mogłyby służyć efektywnej implementacji postanowień dokumentów międzynarodowych odnoszących się do zagadnień związanych z ochroną środowiska i zrównoważonym rozwojem.
