Building on the ‘Ecosystem Landscaping to advance the Accountability to implement the Women’s Empowerment Principles in ASEAN’, the WeEmpowerAsia programme, UN women jointly develops and will disseminate the Building Pathways to Gender Equality and Sustainability through the Women's Empowerment Principles: Thailand Policy Brief (hereafter referred as ‘Thailand Policy Brief’) with key partners, namely the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Office of SMEs Promotion (OSMEP).
Gender Responsive Procurement (GRP) is one of the initiatives recommended in the Thailand Policy Brief. GRP can identify, incorporate and support women business owners seeking to access government/corporate procurement contracts. In support of the initiative, UN Women and Kenan Foundation Asia will host the “IDEA to I do”, a business presentation competition for selected women entrepreneurs, to showcase the capacity of WOB and WLB developed under WeEmpowerAsia Programme as means to promote women’s participation in supply chain. Winners will receive the WeRise Awards and the prizes are comprised of one winner, one first runner-up and one second runner-up.

At the top is a community wide symbiosis. The cyanobacteria is providing the nutrients for the rice paddies and floating ferns allowing fish and invertebrates to grow in the water.
The three types of roots are all very different from each other. Tap roots have one big main root that goes into the ground. The tap root is full of nutrients and if you try to pull it out and don’t get all of it then it will grow back. The most common tap root we think of is the pesty old dandelions; it also includes radishes and carrots. Then we have fibrous roots that grow only about 16-18” deep which include grasses and some monocots. And last we have aerial roots which are sometimes epiphyte (grow on other plants but don’t get nutrients from them) also orchids and rainforest plants. The root may start up high on the plant and grow down to the surface and even into water.

These trees are a biotic component in our terrestrial ecosystem. These trees are beside a man made pond. These trees are related to the other biotic component which is a goose, because trees produce oxygen and other substances that all animals need in order to survive. Aquatic environments are more stable than terrestrial environments because aquatic environments does not have as much fluctuation in temperature.
The ‘Ecosystem-based Adaptation South’ project seeks to help the Seychelles, Nepal and Mauritania to adapt to climate change, in part by restoring natural habitats across all types of ecosystems. In the Seychelles, on-the-ground ecological restoration will rehabilitate 29 hectares of mangrove and wetland forests, thus providing natural flood barriers.
